I like Ricky. I thought he gave PBF one helluva fight until all those lead right hands and counter left hooks caught up to him. He brought the best outta floyd that night. Was more exiting than the PBF / DLH circus dats for sure.
I also think Hatton could give Cotto one helluva a war although he'll get stopped in that fight as well. Better for him to go back to 140 and dominate the junior welters.
Yah i know it's kinda late but i havent been here in awhile and thought i'd give the hitman his props.
Hatton is a great fighter with a bright future especially after all the exposure he got with the PBFM fight but it wouldnt matter what weight he fought at if he fights another PBFM he will get KOd again. Thankfully for him fighters like PBFM dont come around very often.
Hatton can still do some damage at 140. I don't agree that he needs a "tune-up", thats a waste of time in this point of his career. Hatton's next fight should be Paulie or Witter
I like Ricky, that's why I would never, ever want to see him get in the ring with Cotto. Miguel boxes, but has a tendency to bang more than, say Mayweather- and with Cotto's size advantage I think he'd butcher Hatton.
yeah hell own 140 ..untill he makes the mistake of moving back up ..which he will
I hope he doesnt. He'll get clobbered by most welters. I cant see him beating any of these guys...williams , cotto , mosley , margarito , cintron , dlh , etc. etc.
he's better of pounding the hell outta natural junior welters and blown up lightweights trying to move up in weight. maybe they should dig up Zab Judah and make that fight just to get Hatton's confidence back. Hatton IMO would beat Zab on any given night.
