ricky hatton looking in top shape for urango fight

[ThaHorseman]

Yep Hatton is a naughty boy who turned down PBF. I am blaming him for that. He has given his reasons for turning it down though. He didnt know he was going to retire though anyway. Hatton knew PBF wanted DLH at some point. So what? Doesnt mean u have to retire! When Hatton has fought Castillo, and if he beats him. I will expect Hatton to chase PBF for a showdown. What is PBF gonna turn Hatton down becase Hatton turned him down once. I ask the question again. How much did PBF want Hatton. Did he want him as much as he wants DLH? If he wanted Hatton before....it will make more money now. PBF likes money. Are u reading this PBF?



Yeah but it goes 2 ways. And they same the same about Hatton as well. So i basically want to see it. 2 contrasing styles. A bit like Don Curry v Honeyghan.

As I said, Floyd was on his way to 154. As he passed through 140, he wanted to fight Hatton. Now the guy is at 154, two divisions above Hatton. I don't think PBF is ever going back down to 140 after this, especially if he wins. He has Mosley, Cotto and Spinks at 147-154, all who are a bigger challenge than Hatton.
Also, Hatton went back DOWN to 140, so how much does he really want the fight?

C'mon Hatton has only been down once! Lets be realistic here. And Castillo likes the taste of the canvas more than Hatton, so a bit simplistic to say becasue Eamonn got Hatton down.
Hatton probably didnt like the taste of the canvas so has decided its not for him. And he hasnt been there since. Not to say he wont in the future though.

Sorry, been offline for a few hours.

Only reason Castillo has enjoyed the taste of canvas more than Hatton is that Castillo has fought much better competition; read: Mayweather, Coralles and the rest. Hatton only fought two good blokes, and one of the ****s put him on his arse!!! There's no argument!

If Hatton beats Castillo we're all gonna have to give him his dues, surely?

[ianwigley]

Yeah, yeah Hatton is a mediocre boxer if u want to believe that. And i want to believe PBF is a ****e pressure boxer, because hes so concerned with protecting his whiskers.
And what great pressure fighters has PBF fought. There are good pressure boxers...and then u get the top pressure boxers. Lets see what happens when he boxes the best and not mediocre one like Gatti (who incidently tried to box PBF) Castillo was a good one and we know how controversial PBF won that as well.

What?

Have you seen Gatti/Ward I, II, III? That's pressure!!! Gatti, mediocre? ****ing hell, which planet are you on? Gatti has been in with any **** who'd fight him!!

We are, my friend. If that happens, then he gets his props. Can't really see it happening, but you never know...

He beat Micky Ward, didn't he? He was a decent ****, wasn't he?

not really, above average, but nothing special. Can't deny that i was entertained by their trilogy though.
