...38-0-0 WBU champ has been around for ages fighting guys who have been hand-picked to perfection . He says he's annoyed that people are saying he's not world class, again he's dancing around the real issue.
Predictably he kept talking about how Oliveira had never been stopped before and the top guys he's beat and shared and gone the distance with. He never acknowledges that these guys are all washed up punching bags or tin cans, anyone with a brain can see what's going on with these clowns. Sadly his knucklehead fans don't have a brain. Why does he not fight Junior Witter? If he fights and beats him then he can stop bleating about how people don't think he's world class, simple as that. He won't fight Witter though. Having seen Cotto , I'm convinced he destroys Hatton. That won't happen either.
who has he fought that makes him deserving of a fight with zoo. there is no one on his resume is that even considred a contender any more. cotto would ko him out!
Exactly the same fighters Mitchell beat to get a shot at Tszyu, nobody conplained then.
Who has Cotto beat that makes you think he could KO any of the top fighters?
I think Tsyzu has earned his bread. I think Hatton has a chance. Maybe hatton hasn`t looked sensational against recent opponents but i blame the promoter for that. I have an impression that when the chips are down Hatton might produce his best and if he does i don`t care what some of the people say on this site, Tsyzu is gonna be in for a fight!
What makes him deserving the fight with the plastic Australian is the fact his is the mandatory challenger, I feel it will be a war but Rickys bodyshots will give Kosta trouble and I think Ricky will win with a late stoppage (so long as Ricky avoids the cuts)

hatton offers low money too real fighters so he can say that they didnt want to fight him. if he would have offered harris more money harris would have fought him. but he offered him chump change. hatton is overrated
Hatton will confront the naysayers on June 5th. He will fight the best in the division in Tsyzu. After the fight we`ll know if he is the real deal or not. He has earned his chance at a big fight and he has the biggest. Lets see what happens, then judge....
At least hes steppin it up! We will see how he does, I expect the kid to lose in an all out war w/Tszuy. His loss will actually put him the spotliight for big fights! If hatton loses expect Cotto's team to challenge him!
with all of the news about ricky just thought i would bring back this post
:confused:
If you dont like the Ricky Hatton subject then why did you raise it again?
aint really his fault that no one wants to fight him. he, along with calzaghe got some of the longest unbeaten runs in boxing. people dont wanna fight these guys, always asking for a lot of money, and plus the frank warren factor doesnt help

Why doesnt fight Junior Witter!?! WTF!!
Every Witter opponent has been hand picked since the Judah loss, every opponent picked has been terrible, these guys Witters fighting are the worst pile of shit i have ever seen!! Why should Hatton need to fight Witter?? :confused:
If you look at career totals(including am & pro) Cotto has had a lot more fights than Hatton and 20 more defeats! Hatton just turned pro at 18 and Cotto stayed in the ams until he was 21. the career records of both fighter since the age of 21 are the same!!
Just because Hatton had a lot of pro fights whilst he was a boy doesnt mean his career has been slow, he's peaking now and it the perfect time to put him in a world title fight. Considering how rich, undefeated and ready for a shot he is i'd say his career has been managed very well.
Tru Ricky needs to step up, but Im sick of Cotto gettin the look over and not Hatton. Hattons resume is alot better than Cottos and unless yer a hater you can't say it's not. But the PRs on this site just say shit like His team is bringing him along nicely. I say Cotto and Hatton would be an awsome fight w/ the W going to Hatton by UD or late stoppage
Cotto will happen eventually. They both want it and Bob Arum says he'll go to England.
Hatton has beaten everyone put in front of him. You can't blame him for choice of opponents. He said he'd walk from Frank Warren if he never got big fights. Kelson Pinto refused to get on a plane to even get in the ring and Vivian "chickenshit" Harris asked for stupid money just so he didn't have to actually come out and say he didn't want to fight Hatton.
