Hatton Tired of Seeing Jose Luis Castillo's Name

By Mark Vester

Undefeated Ricky Hatton is tired of seeing Jose Luis Castillo's name appear above him on pound-for-pound lists all over the world. After he meets IBF junior welterweight champ Juan Urango on January 20 in Las Vegas, he plans to get Castillo in the ring to settle the issue on who is better.

"After Urango it's no secret that I want to fight Castillo and that will be an enormous fight," added Hatton. "Every time I look at any pound-for-pound lists I see Castillo's name above mine and that is something I will want to change."
