I don't know about Castillo but Cotto would destroy Hatton...

[CarminePersico]

Hatton actually showed good hand speed and quicknes againist Urango. But you fellas hit the nail right on the head about Hatton being hurt to the body. Hatton will have to be a better boxer to beat Castillo or Cotto, which I doubt but even the sun shines on a dog's ass!

lol not only was he hurt, he was surprised ...lol did you see the look on his face when urango dug that **** right into his rib cage lol

Never seen anyone take Hatton's head off so far.

Urango had a big punch and it was a mistake from Hatton allowing him to take it to the body because he did get hurt from it. Hatton needs to stop allowing his body to be a bit soft by pigging out inbetween fights. But after he'd taken the punishment to the body in round 5 he rather smartly neutralized that threat by clinching anytime Urango got an opportunity to punish the body.

I'd like to think that Hatton would be clever enough to keep in good shape for the next two years (those being his most important years where the big fights are going to occur) and as such retain the strength in his body that wasnt all that evident in the Urango fight. There's nothing to suggest that he's naturally got a week body, in fact there is quite some evidence to the contrary. So he just needs to keep it in good shape over his next few fights, not let his weight get out of control and it shouldnt be that much of a problem.

You people find these 'weaknesses' and dont really think them through properly.

No you are just a FAN of his and don't see the weaknesses properly!!

[.Mik.]

I see his weaknesses just fine. He has shown a susceptibility to body punches in his past fight, along with a tendancy to start clinching to coast through fights/get himself out of trouble ever since the Tszyu fight. He has also demonstrated a lack of stamina in his past few fights and his punches have lacked the power against Collazo and Urango that they used to in his earlier career. He has also shown a weakness at adapting to the southpaw style and has found himself getting tagged more often than he needs to. A weakness/strength has always been that Hatton is willing to take a number of shots if it means that he can get a few of his own off and his dilligence and dedication to his health has certainly got to be improved, as evidenced by his ballooning after most of his fights.

See? I am aware of his weaknesses and limitations because I have been following Hatton for his entire career, not his past 4 fights. I know what are weaknesses he has shown throughout his career (such as his weight control and his careless aggressiveness) and I know what 'weaknesses' are just one or two fight blips (such as his 'inability' to take body shots). I also know which 'weaknesses' have never been evidenced at all, like the fact that he doesnt have a strong chin...which he does.

I may be a 'FAN' of Hattons, but I'm certainly not delusional nor uneducated about him and his style.

Now Im confused. You just said that his body in regards to weight control and whatnot is not a weakness or makes his body weak and more accessible to damaging body shots. And now it seems you are saying that in fact his weight control in indeed a weakness and makes him accessible to significant body blows. Which is it?

[.Mik.]

I havent contradicted myself at all there, perhaps you just arent reading it properly.

His weight control IS a weakness within his own means to resolve. However if he chooses not to resolve it his body could well be a weakness. His body has never particularly been a weakness before, so theres no reason why it has to be in the future, providing he stops letting himself go inbetween fights, which he is more than capable of doing if he is dedicated to doing so.

[Tuggers1986]

When he has a fight he is dedicated and DOES get in shape so i don't even see why people see that as a problem. If he eats **** between fights then can't make weight then fair enough, but he always does so whats the problem?

[.Mik.]

The problem is that the longer he continues to do that, the more damage he is doing to his body (massive weight gains and then losses are ridiculously damaging and dangerous) and ergo the more his quality will diminish the longer his career goings on and thus the less longevity he will have in his career.

Forget about Hatton's body. He leaves himself wide open. Cotto would mangle his face.

So his weakness as far as weight control is fixable and potentially could be a weakness to his body if he chooses not to fix the problem in between fights?

I don't know if that is what you are trying to say or not, but the fact of the matter is that them fake abs he had was getting ripped out by a 1 punch slow stationery fighter....

As a 20 year old adult, you ought to feel ashamed of making posts like that.

Its the mark of someone who cannot argue very well and has limited intelligence.

What next? A 'your mom' gag? Too late, you've already got on in your customized title. I bet you were the coolest kid at school.

My apologies, mate.
