LMFAO At Rickys double standards

lol, they did was a absoutle shocker! i give Hatton credit for the Castillo fight and taking the Mayweather fight. But not alot has changed since he left Warren. Collazo, Maussa, Lazcano, Urango there the sort of fights Hatton would have had if he stayed with Warren anyways. Hatton has never been the same fighter since Pre-Tszyu. Actually I don't care about Hatton anymore, all he cares about is money. I don't mind fighters saying there in it for the money like Mayweather & Calzaghe does but when you come out talking about legacy and fighting for the people then it does piss me off, escpecially when you have a joke match up vs a past it lightweight on PPV. The thing is there are too many peole who are too stupid to understand what you just said, They would back Hatton NO matter how wrong he is. They are fanatics not boxing fan. Hatton lies alot atleast people like Calzaghe/Mayweather would tell us they're doing it for the money, Hatton would tell us his doing it for his legacy:ugh: ..Yeah right

I would say that Collazo and Castillo(the version Hatton fought) are indeed lesser fighters than Witter, but the Castillo fight is acceptable as i would imagine that he is a big name in the US and Hatton needed attention. These are only recent fights though, why didn't Hatton fight Witter when they were both on the domestic scene? That's where all this stems from. Anyway the fear comes from not how dangerous Witter is, Hatton isn't scared of being hurt, but the consequences of losing to him. If Hatton lost to Witter it would affect his status in British boxing big time IMO. Hatton would rather lose to a flyweight than Witter. That is just simple plain and basic common sense..Karma on the way

Witter never won the british title, the first time he won the comonwealth belt was against Lovemore. Hatton was beating guys like Mcghee, Thaxton, Phillips, Takie when Witter was still fighting nobodys like Bosworth....Comparing careers and records is a laugh, look at who both guys have been fighting at the same points of thee careers and you'll see Witter was irelivent. Witter is 1 inch taller than Hatton and is not as strong as him, Collazo would make him look foolish if they ever stepped in the ring together. To be honest.....It seems like you're making excuses. Look at them today...who cares what they've done in the past...its about the the present not the past.. They should fight and the fans want to see, so I dont buy into this bullshit Hatton is talking.

Witter would lose to Collazo handily, Witter aint big enough to fight this guy who would not look out of p;ace at 154. Castillo was the fight the world wanted to see, most picked him to beat Hatton, only now that he get demolished in 4 rounds is he past it. Ricky was going up the ladder all the time on domestic level, winning british and comonwealth titles, Witter was doing nothing, well, except fight the alan bosworths of this world and then call Ricky out after beating journymen like that. There careers have never been on the same level, Witter has tried to build himself a career off Hattons name and i find it laughable how many people in this thread are buying the BS (probably well known haters on this forum, i dont know, i dont post here much). He has a title now yeah, he's still fighting for monkey nuts though, i have it on good authority that his biggest payday has been 120k, that was for the Harris fight, it maskes no sense for a fighter like Hatton who's paid his dues to fight against Witter in a fight that would make nothing stateside, hell, Lazcano is worth more to Hatton than Witter is, Witter needs to start hoovering up all the other titles and make himself this boxoffice star he thinks that he is, this clown thinks he's due a living, he needs to earn it! Having a soup title dont make you a big time fighter either, you have to get yourself noticed and get exposure. I guess they didn't air the Castill - Ngoudjo fight in the UK huh.......LOL.

Witter is 1 inch taller than Hatton and is not as strong as him, Collazo would make him look foolish if they ever stepped in the ring together. Sure he did, he beat Bosworth for the British title, he didn't defend it and went and won the commonwealth title straight afterwards. Why is Thaxton considered an impressive name? Looking at boxrec he had a 19-5 record when Hatton fought him, so is he better competition than Witter? I certainly wouldn't say so. Still, all this doesn't explain why Hatton never fought Witter and it is undeniable that he fought a ton of guys that have less impressive records than Witter, smaller names, and less talent. It's a fact.

This fight will happen down the road IMO, just not now. It'll be the fight after he beats Paulie.

Having a soup title dont make you a big time fighter either, you have to get yourself noticed and get exposure. Come on, Witter was climbing the ladder just like Hatton, he was going along winning the British, commonwealth and european titles, and his early competition was no better than Witters, lets not make out like Hatton was fighting house hold names. Even back then Hatton/Witter was a fight the British boxing fans wanted to see, it would have easily been a bigger fight than some of the no names on his record. I have to say for a man that is apparently a nobody and awful lot of people are wanting to see Witter fight Hatton, he's easily a bigger name than Lazcano who alot of fans had to look up when they heard his name. And on Collazo and Castillo, Witter is bigger than Hatton so if an in your face offensive fighter like Hatton can win against him i think a slick boxer with a solid defence like Witter would also stand a good chance. And as i remember it was mostly the haters that picked Castillo to beat Hatton, i remember alot of people including myself thought that Castillo was on the slide and that Hatton would take him out.

:lol1: You don't know what you're on about, so please be quiet. He was being sarcastic, incredibly sarcastic infact.

Hatton has ducked the ever so dangerous Witter all these years to fight the lesser guys like Kostya, Collazo, Castillo and pbf. End of thread... :lol1: You don't know what you're on about, so please be quiet.

For his entire career he has been picking and choosing, ducking and dodging. This decision to fight Paulie stays in line with Hatton's ways of picking easy fights against weak titleholders. The guy is a joke and more people are starting to realize this. I'm sure he's taking less money for a Malignaggi fight than he would get for a Witter fight. Thats likely, although more so is the fact he says tha he gives the fans what the wand but actually teh fans want Witter. So unfortunatly, he isn't giving the fans what the want. I call it the Warren Effect.

Hatton has ducked the ever so dangerous Witter all these years to fight the lesser guys like Kostya, Collazo, Castillo and pbf. End of thread... Yes he has ducked Witter to fight An ols Kostya Tszyu, the worst welterweight champ at the time Collonzo and more shot-than-50-cent-Castillo. We all knew he was never gunna beat pbf, some of us, like me, didn't want to admitt it. btw, im actually a Hatton fan:ugh:

I think Malignaggi will beat Hatton by Unanimous Decision.

I would be stunned if Malignaggi beat Hatton. Completely stunned. I might even secretly root for Paulie once the fight starts and it becomes apparent he is in for spanking. Yeah but your from London, you were just as stunned when Floyd dominated ricky.

While I do think that Hatton has been on the slide since his fight with Collazo, he has enough to take Malignaggi. Malignaggi just doesn't have enough power to get respect from Hatton. Unless you're a massive guy like Lennox Lewis, it's almost impossible to win at the top with only a jab. Do I think Hatton is ducking Junior Witter? Absolutely. Hatton's team has changed their tune every other week, saying they'd never fight Witter because he's a nobody, then they claim they offered Witter a contract and Witter. Witter then went to the press and said he'd fight for peanuts. Hatton's team had retracted any lopsided offer they had made, or claimed to have made. Hatton's team saw the opportunity to make some money without the possibility of their guy getting knocked out.

Hatton has never wanted to fight witter!!! Hatton wont fight him!!! Its not a bad idea for him to dodge him cause witter is another version of floyd!!! witter is not near the fighter floyd is. he also fights in a much different syle than floyd. please. whether hatton ducks him or not is what it is, but comparing him to floyd is a comedy act man.

Hatton has never wanted to fight witter!!! Hatton wont fight him!!! Its not a bad idea for him to dodge him cause witter is another version of floyd!!! Except, I presume, when he wouldn't sign a contract until a fight with Witter was part of the deal.

Hatton has never wanted to fight witter!!! Hatton wont fight him!!! Its not a bad idea for him to dodge him cause witter is another version of floyd!!! You mean like in the movie Twins where Danny DeVito is another version of Arnold Schwarzenegger only shit? http://www.dreamagic.com/vivianrose/twins.gif

Hatton has never wanted to fight witter!!! Hatton wont fight him!!! Its not a bad idea for him to dodge him cause witter is another version of floyd!!! Floyd did slightly better than Junior did against Judah, don't you think?

Does it really matter. Pauli M. will outbox Ricky Hatton and then Witter can come see The Magic Man. Ricky Hatton is on downslide of his career. You did watch Malignaggi's last fight, right?
