ricky hatton looking in top shape for urango fight

[cortdawg25]

I'll laugh my ass off if Hatton beats Mayweather.

Why would he fight Urkal anyway, that fight woulda been a ****ing waste of time and if he had of taken it then everyone on here woulda said he was ducking someone else. Hatton's taking a fight to get a belt to defend against Castillo. Simple.

For what? Why is he getting a belt to fight Castillo? who does he want to fight Castillo or Floyd? If he just wanted to fight and didn't call out Floyd's name every 5 mins., then I wouldn't complain as much. Fight Castillo now and get ready for Floyd at 147 for his belt. Hell he could have stayed at 147 and fought anyone of the champs. that is where everyone is at, right? The dude is weak man!

Why not fight a more credible champion for a belt? Junior Witter is considered the best of the beltholders and that would be a major fight in the UK. Why doesn't Hatton want it?

I like Junior Witter, he's not an exciting fighter but he still puts on a show.. but I have no idea how you can say Hatton is ducking him, he does more posing than a prime Eubank, Hatton would stop him.

What I was trying to say is that if he is truly trying to prepare for Floyd why isn't he fighting someone who is atleast quick with good handspeed. Urango is the waste of time to me, Castillo lost to Floyd twice. He can get the fight with Floyd, he doesn't need to prove anything to Floyd to get a fight. If anything he should be fighting Castillo in Jan. not Urango.
Hell Floyd might just move to MW, he thinks he can do anything and he is usually right.

You said why dont he fight someone worth mentioning? And i replied with that i think Hatton has fought a lot of people worthwhile. Opponents that will build his reputation in America so that it sells a lot of tickets for a matchup with PBF. Fighting Witter will not do that!!
And he dont need to fight people similar to beat PBF. Hatton knows what he will do against PBF. I dont expect PBF to fight people similar to Hatton as well. He never intended to fight Hatton in my opinion.

For many years now Junior Witter has disrespected Ricky, and the Hatton family..calling him out at every chance he has just to make himself look good. Ricky does want the fight with Witter but doesn't want to give him the best payday of his life in facing him..

Quote Ricky Hatton's book ' The Hitman, My Story '

' People say to me ' I think Floyd Mayweather would give you a licking, And my reaction is ' thats your opinion mate, not mine.' To be able to beat me you have to have some serious firepower to keep me off and, no matter how much talent he has got, I dont think Floyd could do that.Tszyu couldn't and there is no way Kostya is a lighter puncher then Mayweather.Floyd has great hand speed and some brilliant combinations but i will stand by the beleif: If anyone can beat Floyd Mayweather its me. He has got the kind of style that would give me problems..but for how long? How Long could he keep me off him?

For the first 4-6 rounds it MIGHT be tricky but if i persevered,and i would, i would end up getting to him. I am a pressure fighter, someone who goes forward looking for a scrap. I will keep a crazy tempo going all night long and nothing will stop me, I will be in your face throughout 12 rounds non stop. Nothing scares me.

Mayweather wouldn't like my shots to the body, no one in the world would. So that is what i would bring in to play. Mayweather had time to pick his shots (against Gatti) he wouldn't have that with me. He won't like facing the unusual in the ring '

' I have met Mayweather, although i don't think we understood each other. I was at ringside when he beat Gatti in Atlantic City in June 05,just a few weeks after i had stopped Tszyu, And i was pleasently surprised at how small he looked. I sized him up and i think he caught me! he said something which i didn't understand, but i knew it wasn't a compliment, so i fired back with some good ol' mancunian language. We both stood there until a few bouncers came over and then he walked round the back of the seats , eyeballing me the whole time. If he think that sort of ****e will work with me..he's got another thing coming '

Witter against Hatton would do GREAT buisness in Britain! Despite Witter being a fanless ***got who cant draw **** on his own! Plus Ricky could finally shut his whinneing annoying voice up!

You have to question the humanity of anyone who actually likes Floyd more than Hatton.

I'm not saying you can't pick Floyd to win the fantasy fight, but if you actually like Floyd more than this guy, there is simply something very seriously wrong with you.
