Lazcano broke his finger in the gym and can't fight Hatton on May 13th. It's also been said that Team Hatton has turned down a fight to face Ricardo Torres and also Junior Witter as replacements for Lazcano. Also HBO has no interest in airing a Hatton mandatory defense against Ben Rabah so Hatton is still with out an opponent.
Damn Hatton!!! Grow some ballz!!!
So what will people say now? People are always talking shit about how Cotto fights nobody but Hatton turned down Torres, Torres could easily beat anyone at 140, team Hatton kows Torres has the speed and the power to KO Hatton.
Since his fight with Cotto I've become a big fan of Torres. He can beat anyone at 140 so stop the excuses that he has no name, he'll be causing some noise when he gets his chance. I can understand why team Hatton is scared of him.
have u guys heard that hatton had made a deal with don king to fight luis collazao wba 147 lb champ. heres the quotes from a article on another site:
Hobson also confirmed that he had reached a deal with Don King for Hatton to move up to welterweight and challenge King's man Luis Collazo for the WBA title.
He said: "We did the deal two weeks ago and were ready to sign off on it but Ricky's trainer Billy Graham thought Collazo's style wouldn't make for the kind of thrilling fight we want to kick off Ricky's American invasion.
"The new look Team Hatton is just that – a Team – and we make decisions as a team. Even though Ricky was delighted that Fight Academy could deliver two new world championship belts for him in just two fights, Billy had reservations about Luis Collazo's southpaw style.
"Billy was just as confident as we were than Ricky would win and become a two-division champion, Billy felt that Collazo would play spoiler and try to put a dampener on what we believe want to be an explosive championship debut for Ricky in America.'"
doesn't it sound like they are scared, they are trying to pick the easiest fight possible, if hes a real champion he should fight other champions, plain and simple.
Better yet, stay your ass in england.

Hatton is a joke. He's scared of Vivian Harris and Witter
Hatton aint never gonna fight Witter because do americans want to see two english fighters fight in the US?....Hatton doesnt want to fight Witter because he is an arsehole and he doesnt want to put money in his pocket, Ricky will fight him when he has lost a fight or two, and he offered to have a fight with Witter in a car park those aren't the words of a man who is scared!!! and Ricky is not a trash talker by any stretch.
There are a lot of fighters already scheduled to fight leaving Hatton with not many options.
Who's available,
Margarito - Cant see this fight happening (no ones mentioned margarito)
Harris - Hbo said they wont show Hatton vs Harris
Rabah - Hbo said they wont show Hatton vs Rabah
Witter - Hatton wont fight Witter
Torres - Hatton wont fight torres
Casamayor - His name was mentioned, cant see this fight happening
N'dou - seems to be the front runner, this fight cant happen massive step back for Hatton
About a month ago hatton's promoter was talking about Baldomir,Lazcano (injured) Gatti, Collazo, Freitas & Diaz, why didn't these fights be made?
Has Hatton made a mistake leaving frank warren, i think so. Hatton said he left warren to fight the best fighters in america cant see Mayweather, Cotto or Castillo in his schedule.
Hatton and his promotional team are looking very ameturish at the moment.
I think Hatton should fight Torres next or Witter.
The Witter fight will be huge in UK, so I think he can make alot of money fighting Witter.
Witter always said that Hatton has been ducking him for the last 2 or 3 years.
It would be big everywhere as far as I am concerned......Alot of Americans want to see more of Hatton and people who know about boxing know Witter is a slick boxer with good skills who IMO could give Hatton a good fight.I would be very Happy to see this fight on HBO for free.
