    Oh i see. When u said beat him early i thought yoiu meant knock him out in 2 or 3 rounds. As i say i would pick Hatton becuase i know more about him and he is one of my favourites. But i'd like to see Hatton v PBF really. But Cotto v PBF gets my juices flowing as well and would be a good alternitive.

      Im a Huge Hatton fan too, was been too a few of his fights, The Tszyu fight was one of the best nites of my life! But again i think he'd fall short against PBF, Id be rootin for Ricky tho! When u think what type of fighter beats Floyd u think PRESSURE! Cutting off the ring ect, all Rickys traits, so i see why peeps mite think he beats PBF but for me Floyd would be the only winner. He'd know he'd been in a fight tho! I hate pickin against Hatton, he's one of my fav fighters, ive met him and he was pure class, but i just hav to call it like i see it.

        I would like to see Cotto v Hatton, but its just talk at the minute. First Hatton has got to see off Urango and then maybe Castillo, and then.....who knows. But if you think Cotto wins, its your opinion and you came to that conclusion after a lot of thought and your entitiled to it.
        I think Hatton has a chance against PBF though. Any fighter can be beat. Hatton hasnt been but nearly has lost, and so has Mayweather. Its a pays your money take your choice match for me.

          Good post, Every1 is beatable! With a bit of time Hatton my grow to be a full fledged welter and be even more formidable! Collazo is very good, a win of any sort over him is good in my book!

Also, Castillo has been struggling to make weight and may have hurt his body trying to make 135 that last two times. He will probably look like **** against Ngoudjo. You factor all that in and it's clear Castillo is a shop worn fighter and a mere ghost of himself when he was at his best a few years ago. Don't be fooled.

            What will be the excuse when Hatton struggles against Urango?
            castillos body would only be affected making 135 again now hes making 140 hes body should be fine but to say hes old already is a bit harsh , last time out he destroyed corrales but the truth lies in hes next fight to see wat castillo can offer at 140

              it's Juan Urango for crying out loud. The only guy who can lose 10 rounds out of 12 and win a title. if Hatton has any trouble whatsoever with getting this guy out of there, I will certainly think less of Hatton.

                Urango had some trouble in his last fight...but I'm not going to bash the guy after only seeing one performance. For those of you who do not know who Juan is, have never seen him fight, his nickname is "Baby Mike"- because he can look quite a bit like Tyson at certain angles and, supposedly, likes to try and get people out like Iron Mike did- at least this is how he's been shopped around. He's a young fighter, pretty green, but he has displayed power. He KOed the majority of his first dozen opponents before the 5th round- mostly 1st and 2nd round knock outs.

                18-0 with 13 KO's.

                Overall, an inexperiecnced brawler who tries to knock people out...not really tested and we can't say much about his potential. Probably a good fight for Ricky to impress in, I think.

                  I believe Urango's nickname is Iron Twin (because he styles himself after Tyson & he has a twin brother). He's a southpaw with good power but besides that he's green. He fought to a draw with Mighty Mike Arnoutis & he's a big Jr. Welter. If southpaws have troubled Hatton he might have some early trouble against Urango because of his power. The first 6 rounds of this fight are going to be heated; I alot of exchanges.

                    Why is a supposedly "elite" fighter fighting unknown prospects? After 40+ fights, Hatton still needs more showcase fights? I can't take this guy seriously. Why not just go straight to the Castillo fight?

                      bcoz castillo is fighting, and hatton wants to be known the usa, and HBO wanted him to have this fight.

                      please
