Why Is Hatton Obsessed With Mayweather?

[.Mik.]

Mayweather isn't even his division. He's 2 divisions up right now. That's like Pacquiao talking about Hatton. It makes no sense, especially since Ricky has shown he doesn't want to stick around at 147 to make the fight...

Actually, he said that he would happily fight PBF or Cotto at 147.

Keep up.

He also said he would give Collazo an immediate rematch. Obviously, talk is cheap...

Like Castillo? Who is Ricky fighting next again?

Floyd embarrasses him and Cotto dismantles him.
He should fight their leftovers. Guys like Zab, Malignaggi, Castillo, Corrales, Torres, etc.

Stay away from Floyd and Cotto if you're ****man.

If Ricky is that obsessed with PBF, he should have stated at welter in hope of a possible megafight.

He's already taking your advice as he's fighting Castillo next. This is obviously not the same Castillo that Mayweather fought in his prime...

mayweather has two ...count them TWO ..big names on his resume

the rest are bums ... no doubt bums

Welcome to the world of boxing. Everyone talks and everyone lies. Its nothing specific to Hatton and not the other top fighters, they all do it.

If I were Hatton, I'd have not taken Collazo onto a rematch unless it was contractually designated or 'demanded' by the networks, neither of which were the case, so why take up a dangerous offer that isnt very lucrative? Hatton is a boxer, not an idiot.

If I were Hatton, I would be doing everything I could to be getting the likes of PBF in career defining fights. I'd be fighting someone like Castillo and offering to move up a weight-class and mentioning PBF's name wherever possible (though I'd probably not do it with as much class as Hatton tends to). Again, it would be ****** to increase your likelihood of defeat by wanting to jump straight up two weight classes and dive into the ring ill-prepaired with the King of that division. Hatton isnt ******.

Put aside your anti-Hatton prejudice for a moment and consider. If you were a boxer at the same stage in the career as Hatton is...wouldnt you be doing the same?
