there really is no good fights at 140 for hatton. he would walk through malignaggi like nothing. it would be a worse beating than cotto gave him. the entire division is just really bad and hatton doesnt have another name lightweight who will move up to fight him.
i would like to see hatton move up to 147 again but i think he'll have nothing but excuses again.
Nothing but excuses sounds right,and a full fledged welterweight at that.
Imagine that - Tszyu, Castillo (first time of asking), Cotto
He'd have a better resume that Mayweather...
This is just ridiculous.
He beat Hoya convincingly at 154, Hatton was beat in his first fight at 147 against Collazo. Anybody that says different doesn't know boxing or how to score fights.
Mayweather has Corrales, Castillo, Genaro Hernandez, Angel Manfreddy, Judah etc all in their primes. These weren't tainted victories.
Hatton made his name fighting C level competition, I mean Ben Tackie, Oliveras etc.
He beat Tyszu in his backyard with the help of an incompetent ref and beat a shot Castillo, who Floyd already LEGITIMATELY BEAT TWICE in Castillo's better years.
Hatton's also starting to piss me off with his I'm an exciting fighter bullshit. Fatton Ruiz needs to shut the fuck up, same with all his brit fans. Hatton outwrestled Tsyzu in his own backyard and had an incompetent ref. It was a tainted victory to say the least, that and Tsyzu showed to have a vagina.
I'm not sure if Hatton ever really brings up Mayweather. Last night there was no mention of Floyd. All this "Hatton calls out Floyd" business was instigated by a direct question by that smug twat Kellerman last night and I suspect it is a question fielded by journalists who want a story more than just Hatton squeaking it out.
Witter on the other hand has built his entire career out of disrespecting and mouthing off about Rick. Hatton has gone on record saying that he doesn't want to fight Witter because he doesn't want to provide him with a payday. And Witter has responded by disrespecting Hatton even more. The tough thing to do would be to make a statement, carve out a career for yourself, but Witter seems happy to be in the Hitman's shadow. Witter's interviews after fights always commence with "RICKY HATTON I'M COMING FOR YOU!". Hatton only responds (quite cleverly) to questions.
I would try and fight Oscar if I had the chance. He'd destroy me of course but it'd be worth a couple of mil. Oscar is the goose that lays the golden egg. You'd have to be stupid not to fight him for the payday alone!
That's why Mayweather fought him, more for the payday than anything else.
If Mayweather ever does lose a fight (like he is actually going to stay retired) he'll lose because he doesn't love boxing as boxing is what put him into stardom.
He kinda ran out on it.
Kinda awkward making Boxing sound like a human being, but it serves it's purpose.
Malignaggi is a good opportunity to round off a career at 140 at MSG, a common opponent with Cotto and a decent springboard into Welterweight again. It's really in the hands of Dennis Hobson but Hatton's should act on his momentum now and make a title fight against a well-liked guy.
Oh and Hatton isn't ducking Witter, Witter is the only person who says he is and that's because Witter is desperate for the attention Hatton gets.
Not trying to be an annoyance or anything but that sounds like Hatton and Mayweather.
Even as a Hatton fan you have to admit Hatton just won't shut up about Mayweather.
Reality hurts when Hatton picks up fights with people at the end of their career.
Likely Lad, since he hasn't fought this guy yet I'll tell you he'd try to fight Oscar too just to beat up another old fighter.
:rolleyes:
Does anyone actually think Hatton could hang with true elites?
Is T-ZOO/Castillo his best wins on his record??

Just because you say something doesn't make it so. You're expressing your opinion, as is everybody else. Yours is different in that it doesn't reflect reality.

If he fights Paulie it will be in New York. Hatton has always wanted to headline MSG and Paul would be his chance. If Hatton fights in the UK it's going to be against Witter.
According to English Lion Hatton only wants super fights. Malignaggi is nowhere near a super fight.
Besides, I always heard Witter was wanting him for the longest time and he was getting ducked by Hatton.
This is what I heard so don't give me some grief off of it.
No not exactly.
You're just another sucker of the t3h cock.
Geez it's a fucking revolving door.
Someone tries to point out something wrong with my posts yet they shoot themselves in the foot over it.
I love it!

What a fuckin stupid statement.
You base your opinion on the fact that Castillo and KT were shot because they lost to Hatton.
So every fighter who loses a fight after a long career is shot and that is the only reason they lose?
Absolute bollocks.

I think of he's gona fight an elite it would be shane mosley. If the mosley fight were not to happen i think he would proberly fight maliggnagi in manchester as a home coming and wait until maybe a cotto or margarito fight becomes available. :boxing:
If he takes a fight Cotto, I'd give him all the props in the world.
Paulie is a good slick boxer and everyone knows hatton dont like to fight slick boxers!!! He will fight cotto because i think he wouldve seen more weakness in cottos last fight then in paulies last fight with ndou!!!
last night the british broadcasting pundits was talking about a homecoming fight but at this moment in time i feel that is pointless , hes spent 3 fights in america trying to get respect and now hes got it why come home and lose all momentum. he should fight mallignagi or cotto at maddison square garden and then ricky has achieved everything he set out for himself (2 wieght world champ top the bill in vegas and top the bill at msg) then should he win cap it all of with the homecoming at wembley spring next year but in between all this if mayweather comes along wantin to dance lets get it on
