is Hatton deserving of a mayweather rematch?

I have trouble thinking that he is deserving... especially since there are so many fighters that PBF hasn't beaten yet that I'd rather see him in the ring with. Hatton needs to get a couple of wins over HUGE opposition... not just Magic Man. If he could beat Pacquiao and one other big name, I'd say he's deserving of a rematch.

He can insist on having Mickey Vann as the ref if he wants. It wouldn't make any difference because Floyd is the superior fighter. He didn't show anything to suggest he could beat Floyd last time, and ended up losing convincingly. The key factor was not Cortez's performance, however incompetent it was, it was the abilities of the fighters and I think it's delusional for Ricky to carry on with this talk. You don't think the fight was fairly competitive until Floyd's Oscar winning performance in the 6th, resulting in Ricky losing a point? Now picture a ref not letting Floyd hold as much, and not breaking them up every time Ricky worked his way to the inside. How much damage is T-Rex armed Hatton supposed to do to the freakishly long reached Floyd on the outside exactly? Throw in a smaller ring, and you might still have a Floyd victory, but it's definitely a closer fight. Considering all of the money Floyd made on the first, a rematch might not be a terrible thing. And at least give Ricky a chance to avenge the ringpost incident.

You have come to your conclusions but that's the "what if" factor. Cortez influenced the flow of the fight if not the actual outcome. you are right Cortez fuc ked that fight all up and robbed us all of a much more competitve fight

You have come to your conclusions but that's the "what if" factor. Cortez influenced the flow of the fight if not the actual outcom Yes, based on what happened in the fight. We'll have to agree to differ on how significant Cortez's performance was.

He doesn't. He has stated repeatedly that it wasn't Cortez hitting him. But he does raise a "what if" which is valid. Hatton was not permitted to execute his gameplan because of incompetent refereeing. Was the ref the difference? That's the question that Hatton wants to answer.

hatton is not deserving of a floyd rematch beating a lightweight and a one armed fighter does not mean shit When did Hatton fight a amputee? I missed that one.

broke mo****as can't be chosers.. yeah, I'm talking bout Mayweather. Being bankrupt and being broke really is not the same thing. Bankrupcy is something that broke people do, but smart people usually go bankrupt before they hit 0. I doubt you think Floyd is smart enough to execute a sound financial plan though (or atleast follow a sound finanial planers plan). Anyways, a broke mother****er can be choosey too, aslong as they have options which Floyd would probably have if he came back (now really at the top of the sport there are limited options, but I think atleast a couple guys would want to fight him and if Floyd is that desperate I would think he would be open to fight anyone). I do not think he is that broke yet atleast, when Floyd is broke I think you will hear from him constantly, until he got a big fight with someone. Not saying that it will not eventually be the case though.

If Hatton beats Pacman,he would deserve a rematch,but me as a fan,dont want to see the rematch,as a fan I deserve to see Floyd fight an elite welterweight because he claimed to be the best at that weight!!Plus Hatton will take another beating,he is not that good above 140,just ask Collazo!!!!!!!!!

hatton is not deserving of a floyd rematch beating a lightweight and a one armed fighter does not mean shit

does anyone else think hatton deserves a rematch with pbf if the pacman fight doesnt happen, if ricky had stopped lazcano and paulie early and convincingly and the for arguements sake battered manuel marquez then i could see a case for a rematch especially as floyd hasnt had a fight for over a year and his skills may have diminished, but as the situation stands i just cant see why the fight would happen, i know hattons loyal fans would buy the fight on ppv and follow him to the states to provide the revenue for the fight, but it just seems a bit pointless to me, what do u guys think? its not about deserving its about the money it would generate the two boxers, if staged in England it would be huge, but Hatton will never find out after what Pac will likely do to him.

So Floyd should take this fight because it would be easy money? I assume your talking about Floyd going bankrupt since I have never heard anything of the sort related to Hatton. Hatton only has 1 loss, if he catches loss 2 he deserves a rematch much less, but aslong as that is his only loss, it is always a decent option to try and avenge your only loss (most people don't believe he is up to the task though, but as long as Hatton believes he can win why not?). broke mo****as can't be chosers.. yeah, I'm talking bout Mayweather.

I think its inevitable once he destroys Pacquaio

There are millions of reasons why a match between Mayweather and Hatton makes sense. Cortez is incompetent, but it's stupid for Ricky to claim that's why he lost. He doesn't. He has stated repeatedly that it wasn't Cortez hitting him. But he does raise a "what if" which is valid. Hatton was not permitted to execute his gameplan because of incompetent refereeing. Was the ref the difference? That's the question that Hatton wants to answer.

No need! Hatton was, is, and always will be a UK B+ fighter! There is nothing he could do better to be better!

I understand Hatton wanting a rematch through pride... Mayweather gave him his only loss and that must hurt for him, I understand him wanting another shot to try and put things right. However, a rematch would be pointless because Mayweather will just beat him again... maybe in even better fashion. Yeah, Hatton has said if he had a second shot and lost he could live with it because he tried his best, but to be honest it would be a waste of time for him and would just be another loss on his record. At the end of the day Mayweather has already beat him once... he doesn't need to beat him again!

If Hatton beats Pacquiao i think he deserves another shot

No point in a rematch

deserving? i wouldn't be talking about deserving when you are going bankrupt. when you are bankrupt there is no deserving.. So Floyd should take this fight because it would be easy money? I assume your talking about Floyd going bankrupt since I have never heard anything of the sort related to Hatton. Hatton only has 1 loss, if he catches loss 2 he deserves a rematch much less, but aslong as that is his only loss, it is always a decent option to try and avenge your only loss (most people don't believe he is up to the task though, but as long as Hatton believes he can win why not?).

deserving? i wouldn't be talking about deserving when you are going bankrupt. when you are bankrupt there is no deserving..
