Since Tsyzu, Why Has Hatton Only Fought the Worst Titleholders?

[Guest]

It's become a clear trend for Hatton to face the worst titleholder available whenever he fights a champion. He first chose to fight Maussa, a fighter so terrible that Maussa was beaten by a total journeyman in his very next fight.

Hatton then went up to 147 and chose the weakest beltholder there, Collazo. There were better beltholders like Margarito, Cintron, and Baldomir but Hatton chose the weakest of the 4. This was a good choice in hindsight as Hatton would have probably been knocked out cold by the other three seeing as Hatton couldn't handle light-hitting Collazo's power.

When Collazo sent Hatton back to 140, Hatton once again chose the weakest beltholder in Urango. Urango got a gift decision to win the title in an outright robbery of Ben Rabah and Urango had never beaten a name opponent in his 18-fight career.

Why does Hatton always go after the worst titleholders?

Collazo's hands-down a better fighter than Baldomir.

Collazo's hands-down a better fighter than Baldomir.

Would you pick Collazo to beat Judah?

Would you pick Collazo to beat Judah?

50:50. I'd pick him to beat Baldomir 10/10 times.

What the hell is your deal kid? All I ever see you posting is **** about Hatton - Mayweather. Get a hobbie. This **** is tiresome.

Hatton was just getting his belt back from Urango.

and really Sin u are absolutely obsessed with bashing hatton at every opportunity

while hatton was fighting these mayweather was fightin gatti worst at 140 sharmba mitchel who was shot to pieces judah who no longer brought out to the table baldomir although was the lineal champ was the worst holder with cintron and margorito and then oscar , oscar is a masive name but was past hes best. ya hatton certainly set a trend

Don't even compare Mayweather's record with Hatton's. 2 different leagues and cannot be compared. Even Mayweather's most shot opponent would've made any of Ricky Hatton's look silly. Ricky Hattons more and more seems like the Chuck Lidell of boxing. If he can create hype, it's all good. I'm sure you'll quicky agree with the original poster once Mayweather beats Hatton.

$in you crack me up.. always fun to se you having a go at hatton.. maybe its because i kinda agree with you..

the question really is, has hatton ever fought a world class fighter in his prime, and surely even a die hard hatton fan, has to agree that this just isnt the case.
