-Before Tszyu, he beat no one of note.
-He beat an over the hill Tszyu who retired after the fight. Not only was Tszyu old, he was coming off of some major injuries and had fought a handful of rounds in 3 years. This is his best win clearly, but far from impressive considering Tszyu's age, health, activity, and fight location.
-He followed up the win over Tszyu by beating Carlos Maussa, likely the worst beltholder in the history of the 140 lb. division. Maussa is so terrible he has gone on to lose to a journeyman coming off a 5 year layoff and then got knocked out in 1 round by a prospect. This is particularly embarrassing for Hatton when you consider that he struggled for 9 rounds with Maussa before finally ending the fight.
-Hatton moved up to welterweight and received a gift decision against Luis Collazo. Hatton struggled the entire fight and was out on his feet in the final round.
-Hatton returned to 140 to hit and hug his way to a win over a prospect Juan Urango. Why is a world champion still fighting prospects with 19 fights?
-He followed that win by beating another over the hill name Jose Luis Castillo. Anyone who knows anything about boxing could see from the start of the first round that this version of Castillo clearly was damaged goods and nowhere near the fighter that fought an epic with Chico Corrales or gave Mayweather all he could handle 5 years earlier.
Hatton has been fed nothing more than a steady diet of handpicked opponents through 43 fights and he is now cashing on his popularity with a Mayweather fight. Hatton belongs nowhere near the P4P and he will be exposed as merely an average fighter on December 8th...

It's a 130 pounder against a 140 pounder... :pat: :pat: :pat:
So I guess DLH is a 130 pounder right? So DLH and Pac sounds like a good fight right?:nonono:
I thought Floyd had a close and tough fight at 154 and ran with his tail between his legs back to 147. Not only that, but he picked a 140 pounder for his next opponent. Maybe I'm wrong.
It's a 130 pounder against a 140 pounder... :pat: :pat: :pat:
What's so hard to comprehend about what I've explained to you? Mayweather ALSO moved up in weight for a title, had a very close and tough fight, but didn't use that as an excuse to run back down to SFW. Hatton could easily have stayed at 147 and gave Collazo a remath. Therefore, your excuse makes no sense.
"He didn't fight him because he went back down to 140"
^Circular reasoning. But why? He went to 140 because he was scared of what he'd encountered at 147, namely from Collazo.

Obviously he didn't know what to expect.
He knew enough to accept the fight despite being told not to.
Floyd isn't a natural welter weight and Ricky knows this which is why he's always sizing him up, talking shit about how Floyd isn't strong enough to stop his pressure and this and that.
Ricky isn't a natural welterweight either.
It's a higher reward, lower risk (as in, it's a win win if he loses or not.).
That's his good fortune. You can't blame him for wanting to make money.
No one used the word terrified, maybe just a bit intimidated.
I'll refer to my earlier point; he was obviously not intimidated enough to decline the fight despite being advised to.
People on here say the silliest things..
Oscar De La Hoya >> Jose Luis Castillo
Carlos Baldomir >> Juan Urango
Zab Judah >> Luis Collazo
Sharmba Mitchell >> Carlos Maussa
Kosta Tszyu >> Arturo Gatti
Floyd 4, Hatton 1..
or
Tszyu >> Delahoya
Luis Collazo >> Carlos Baldomir
Carlos Maussa >> Arturo Gatti
Jose Luis Castillo >> Sharmba Mitchell
Zab Judah >> Juan Urango
Hatton 4, Floyd 1
It is just a matter of how you look at it. But in overall career wins, Floyd wins hands down.
If Hatton was scared of Luis Collazo he would never have fought him in the first place
Obviously he didn't know what to expect.
and he is so scared of 147 that he is now fighting the best fighter on the planet at that weight and is planning future fights with De La Hoya and Cotto at the weight.

You're right, Hatton is terrified.

How does it not make sense? What bit of it doesn't make sense? Hatton went down to light-welterweight that's why there was no rematch.

You're just being silly now. Collazo probably boxed about as well as he can that night against a mediocre Hatton and still came up short. If they fought again Hatton would win again only by wider margins this time. Collazo had his chance but he missed it.
hatton's always mediocre and slick boxers like collazo can expose that thats why hatton never fought witter and he won't fight collazo again. the only reason he's fighting floyd is becauuse he knows he wiil lose to someone like paulie and then people won't think so much of him but if he loses to floyd it's not really that big of a deal

maybe. hatton has a large fan base and thats why he has a name he is just an average fighter. the fight was only being televised because of hatton that was a fight for hatton to show who he was in the states.hatton was the name collazo wasn't even though he was the champ kinda like felix sturm and delahoya

Not too sure what you are trying to prove by asking this question.....
Hatton hasn't given collazo a rematch at 147.
He is fighting the best p4p fighter in the world at 147.
I think you were trying to suggest Hatton is a pussy for not having a rematch with Collazo? Yet he is fighting Mayweather at 147? Surely that is a more dangerous fight than another UD against Collazo?
this stems from an earlier post about hatton losing to collazo and floyd to castillo
That's not true. Even Dios has admitted that Hatton won the fight. I take it the judges that night were Hatton fans?

only hatton fans feel like hatton won that fight
Hatton clearly won the fight IMO, the knockdown helped and Hatton outworked Collazo for the most part.

He can fight Collazo again but it would be pointless. Nobody really wants to see that fight again because the outcome would be the same as last time - Hatton by UD.
only hatton fans feel like hatton won that fight
Makes no sense. Floyd moved up a weight class to fight Castillo and Hatton moved up to fight Collazo. The difference is that Mayweather, after a tough fight didn't run back to super-feather weight with his tail between his legs. Instead, he stayed, gave him a rematch, won, and proceeded to dominate the division.

I can't believe people are taking this jerkoff seriously, Hatton is a great fighter and he is without a doubt a top 10 p4p fighter.
