By Liam Santiago: Mayweather seems very eager to put to bed any chance of a rematch with the big punching, major ticket selling, warrior, Ricky Hatton. It annoys me. Especially as a boxing expert. There were question marks about the way the referee conducted himself in that fight and to be fair, Hatton was being pulled out of his rhythm. Yet, Mayweather continues to fight natural lightweights and dismiss any possibility of a rematch.
Of course, I can understand why Mayweather would fear Hatton. Who would not? In the opening rounds of their bout Mayweather really struggled with Hatton’s pressure and at one point he looked ready to go down. Since that defeat, Hatton has lost to Pacquiao and we all know why. He was well past his peak and he had a very un-useful poet in his corner.
Instead of coming out of retirement to fight a natural lightweight in Marquez, a fighter who is two divisions below the ‘pretty boy’, why doesn’t he say, ‘ok, I’ll put any doubts to rest and rematch that legend, that hero from Manchester’. Does he believe that he just got lucky that night. Did his game plan of winding Hatton up work and Hatton was too psyched up to fight? Who knows? What we do know is that beating Marquez proves nothing. A 35 year old can not jump up in weight that much and carry on with his usual style. It won’t happen. Did he not have a desire to go for the top welterweight? Mosley or Cotto? What sort of a con have we got here?
Let’s remember, Mayweather has not fought a natural welterweight fighter since 2006. Hatton was pulled up in weight to make the welterweight limit and that had an effect on the result. If Mayweather does have the guts to face Hatton again, I am sure Hatton will stop him. Adios.

Seriously, I think this shit proves that some individuals will hate him no matter what. I don't really need to explain how stupid the question is. To me Mayweather will always be villified by individuals no matter who he fights.
I remember people criticising him for not fighting Baldomir, then he beats Baldomir and gets criticised for taking the fight. It's like people feel no shame in being so biased.
I think that was a tongue in cheek article from the piece of sh*t that is boxing news24..
lol , yeah , i only ever go on that site to laugh at the biased articles by the obsessed , grudge carrying so called journalists who write them . None of the articles can be taken seriously from there.
I said I'm a Hatton fan but in the Mayweather fight I had money against Hatton so I wanted him to win! So I was just watching the fight as a normal boxing fan" I just noticed on the way through the fight some flaws in Floyd's fighting that should of been sorted out by the referee that's all!
Yours just sour that Man City took Ade and Toure! :boxing:
Lol, September 12 mate, With all your millions we should see when we take over the city of manchester stadium i hope your mate Rickyyyyyyy would be there to see some proper football been played by the away team..
i'm sorry golden boi...i'm sure you're a nice guy...and if i ever meet you...i'll buy you a beer...so please excuse me when i say this...but you are out of your ****ing mind if you think hatton deserves anything from floyd...he was clearly outboxed from round 1 to round 10...he knocked hatton out at will...and the first knock down was in such an embarrassing fashion that i wouldn't be surprised if hatton took the fall as soon as he felt floyd's gloves the second knockdown and ko...
If Hatton was robbed in that fight then Kosta Tsyzu was mega-robbed/mugged in the Hatton fight, You not a Hatton fan???? Sorry but your post,Sig and avatar suggest otherwise and yes am a brit...

Hatton was robbed with that fight and I not as a Hatton fan but as a boxing fan believed it should of been a different winner! Before you lot have a rip at me I must say I had money on Mayweather anyway winning so when he won i was happy but the fact was Hatton WAS robbed!

floyd was gonna fight him if he beat pacmna(and he wouldve gotten alot of shit for it aswell) hatton won maybe 2 rounds in the first fight(and thats being generous) hatton is a nice guy but he isnt anywhere close to floyds level..floyd beats him 100 times out of 100
Ok then mate but I aint going to argue with you because your my mate but the thing is when i watch the fight i see Floyd cheating all over using his arms Ricky wasnt a saint but he did nothing like Floyd, i think he should of happened if Hatton beat pac but he got destroyed by the little man so there won't be a re-match between them ever...
Ricky does need a fight to see him off a decent one like against Oscar, but i still have a niggling in the back of my mind saying there should be another Undeafted!
After he gets by Marquez(if he does) i want him vs pac-cotto winner
after that fight another welter...berto or mosley
he's not going pac, mosley. cotto, aor any other legit WW. He'll go for Berto if Mosley can't secure him.
you my guy and i got love 4 you..but why does hatton deserve a rematch???he did nothing in the first fight that showed he can beat floyd...and after the pacman fight i fear for hattons health...floyd would seriously hurt hatton a second time around...hell any p4p fighter would...he cant take a punch anymore
Deserved would be the word then because after Manny he's lost all confidence in himself! But when I watched the fight there was a lot going off and a thought Hatton was winning and thats with me wanting Floyd to win! There is just some doubt in back of my head that is telling me that Hatton did deserve one but he has lost that now but it would boost Floyds bank account with all the drunkards from Manchester!

People mistake robbed with exposed. In boxing you're not by the rules allowed to hold and punch. He wasn't robbed he was simply asked to do what the sports name implies ''box''. He got the schooling of his life.
It wouldn't have mattered who refereed the match anyway. If people paid more attention to the fight they would realise that despite Hatton's clinging he was still getting beat up on the inside. Do you really think he could get that close to Floyd if Floyd couldn't deal with him from the inside.

Must be being sarcastic?
People say it must be sarcastic, but the amount of people I have heard and read ( on this forum) say that Hatton would have won if there was a different ref ''Cortez robbed Hatton'' etc. I don't think the guy is being sarcastic.
i didnt even have to read this shit to know its bullshit...how does this shit even get published???wtf is hatton gonna do but get beat down again by floyd???
Hell no Larry I was talking about this the other night on here! I said that Hatton deserves a re-match but Floyd wouldn't make it, even though it would be another be pay day for him so why is he ducking it then!
if hatton gets hit clean by a left hook again, not only is he instantly going to sleep, he might not ever wake up, because i thought that he was dead when manny knocked his jaw to the back side of hattons head.
hatton should pick a real softy to fight, get a win, and call it a career. hatton should use his celebrity status to sell fights for his promotional company, because on this is, hatton has charisma and can sell a fight, and if he learned anything from frank warren and his god like match making skills, he too can fluff up fighters and make a killing as well........ just like warren did with all his cash cows................
go hatton go!
This damn fool probably thought Hatton was robbed in the Pacman fight....Some people say the most outlandish things...The aurthor of this shitty article needs to kill himself!
