ricky hatton looking in top shape for urango fight

[The Surgeon]

In the Collazo fight? dude you cant compare the stuff he was doing to Kostya to what he was doing to Collazo. He clinched with Collazo to catch a breather, he wasn't grabbing, pulling, and punching him all at once.

Ive seen the fight a ton of times, i was even there live and peeps make it out FAR FAR FAR Worse than it was, its not a tickling contest in there Tzsyu was just as rough

[hugh grant]

were arguin that because of hatton we never will see it

Dont blame Hatton. PBF is retiring. Blame Mayweather. If he tried as hard to get Hatton as he has DLH we wouldnt be having a debate. If DLH turned Mayweather down 10 times, PBF would still go after DLH for a match. Becuase he badly wants DLH, and hopes DLH will give him a shortcut to greatness.
Get it blame Mayweather. He didnt really want Hatton. He wanted DLH.

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.

off the top of the head, chavez, hernandez, and Corrales come too mind. All those guys are better at pressure or just as good as Hatton at it. Some those guys are better defensive fighters too. Hatton can pressure all he wants, but after getting tattoed for a few rounds and that face is shredded, we'll see how much he'll still be putting on pressure. Hugh you got to understand, every fight they say he is too little and they are going to impose their will on him and every fight he proves otherwise. So I get you don't like him, but you gotta respect that and hope someone knocks him off. The fact is Hatton aint gon be the one, hatton has the style but not the skills.

i don't know ROBO, I can only go by what I see. And Hatton went triple X in that fight, it was ridiculous!!

Oh my goodness I have heard everything. Hatton damn sure aint no Delahoya. this homer mentality is getting ridiculous.

I may come across as i dont like PBF. But the reality is more like u dont like Hatton. I just want the match badly. That is the truth. And i am here typing these messages in the hope that PBF is reading them.
Hope he changes his mind about not retiring. Im doing it for u guyz and myself and for boxing fans.

Floyd has been after the DLH fight for YEARS. Everyone knows this. You, me, and Hatton too. Floyd has been on his way to 154 for years. Along the way, Hatton was offered a fight and refused it. He decided to fight Maussa instead. Why? Now almost 2 years later he wants to call out Floyd when he's finally getting the DLH fight that he's been after and he's 2 divisions away. After being a 5 division champ (assuming he beats DLH) why the **** would he accomodate a guy who has been fighting the Urango's of the world? How can you blame the guy who tried to make the fight and not the guy who turned it down?

Lol, cool but that aint how i saw it man! Tszyu went low 1st for example, plus it was always gonna be a battle of pushing the other guy back, 2 of the strongest LW's in the world battling in the clinches to out strength the other

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.

Floyd is not going to retire, trust me. He might not fight agin in 2007 unless hatton does come calling with them dollars. But he will fight again, they always do! and again, what has Hatton done to warrant Floyd wanting him as much as Delahoya? You are comparing steak and potatoes to a hamburger and fries
