He has more professional fights and is asking for tune ups. Remember Hatton was talking about immediately fighting him before seeing Floyd whoop Gatti in person?
There is not really much you can do when Hattons asking for tune ups.
He has yet to try and really make this fight happen. There has been no serious negotiations from either side. Like I said they are both concerned about making this fight happen.
If Mayweather really thinks he can beat Hatton easy then he would be jumping at the chance to face him. If Hatton really thinks he can beat Mayweather easy then he would be jumping at the chance to face him. They both know it's perhaps the toughest fight out there for them so they are both cautious.
If the fight happens I think Mayweather wins by close decision.
Did Ricky Hatton really say that?, the man has something nice to say about everyone, Floyd,Gatti,Corrales,Tsyu. Ricky is a proper fighter nice to everyone outside the ring and a complete bastard in it. Anyone who doesnt like Hatton has something wrong with them.
Yeah he said that and you are absolutely correct the people that don't like Hatton and Cotto are just too fanatics of their favorite fighter(whether it be Cotto,Hatton, or Mayweather) because both of them just bring it into the ring and don't talk shit like Mayweather.
I think Cotto is a wonderful fighter. You can't be a fan of boxing and not be a fan of Miguel Cotto.--RICKY HATTON

Out of curiousity, what would make you think Floyd is afraid of him?

Yes but I also think Mayweather is just as scared, fearful or overly cautious of fighting Hatton.
I think they both know that it's a tough fight or they would of made it by now.
I don't think when you are at such a high level(Hatton, Cotto, Mayweather, Castillo, etc.) any boxer is afraid of another one. Yeah, if you are undefeated you don't want to loose your perfect record but you don't fear the other guy.
Dude... without prejudice...do you really believe Cotto is #1 P4P?

like I said, Hatton is doing what Floyd is being criticised for.
Stop wit the biased wit Ricky Hatton already. Hatton DOES NOT need 2 tune-ups when he's already beaten a guy like Kostya Tszyu. It's evident that Hatton is just aiming fo the belts anyways. Otherwise, he woulda fought the bigger names like Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather.
and don't forget, Hatton dint even have the intention of goin up to 147lbs, UNTIL Baldomir caught a unfocused/distracte Judah, AND WON those titles. Hatton is aiming fo meaningless fights! He wants ONLY the belts now. He don't need no tune ups. And the excuse that, "hatton needs to get suited in U.S.A" is ridiculous.
Manny, Baldomir beat Judah in his last fight (almost KOed him) yet Mayweather is still fighting him. Let's look at the past 3 fights for the dweebs like Manny who who have slim-to-nil in boxing knowledge.
Hatton: Zoo (many considered him one of the best 140 lber ever, and top 5 p4p at the time)
Maussa (KOed Vivian Harris and was giving Cotto a tough fight until he got TKOed on cuts. Over 300 amateur fights with a tricky, awkward style).
Baldomir (almost KOed Judah, and UD'd him)
Mayweather: Gatti (has a title fight ever been as overmatched as this one?!)
Judah (lost to Baldomir...)
Mitchell (got KOed by Zoo)
Stupid or retarded? Which one is it?
yea, it's really unneccessary fo hatton to be askin fo 2 tune-ups befo stepping it up. He's already beaten Tszyu. His skills is up there. I don't know what's the purpose of fighting guys like Maussa, or Baldomir. When hataz are hatin on Floyd becuz he only fights title holders, Hatton is practically doin the samething, IF NOT WORSE.
Zab Judah, Arturro Gatti > Baldomir, Maussa.
Yes but I also think Mayweather is just as scared, fearful or overly cautious of fighting Hatton.
