I think it's pretty damn obvious Hatton has a strange obsession with Mayweather. At every opportunity, Hatton doesn't fail to bring up Mayweather's name for one reason or another. Here are just a few instances:
-In various interviews he's said Floyd is the best fighter in the world P4P and that would be a dream fight for him.
-After the Baldomir fight, he said Floyd looked like Russell Crowe but fought like Sheryl Crow.
-In his post fight interview after the Urango fight, Hatton said he wanted to fight in Vegas because all the greats have fought there. The first great he names? Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
-At the post fight press conference, he says Mayweather-DLH will be a boring fight and people should watch Hatton-Castillo for an exciting fight. Last time I checked, these fights aren't even competing with each other. They are a month apart. What is the point of even bringing up Mayweather-DLH? Is Hatton Mayweather's publicist?
-He talks about Mayweather as a boring fighter, yet Hatton himself doesn't realize his last few fights have been painful to watch. Hatton needs to realize hugging is not entertaining.
-In hyping his fight against Castillo, he has talked more about Mayweather than his opponent. He has even gone as far as saying he feels he can beat Mayweather even after his poor performances against Urango and Castillo.
-Hatton feels he has the style to beat Mayweather, yet everytime the fight has been offered to him he's turned it down.
-When Mayweather talked **** about the UFC, Hatton felt the need to chime in: "There's as much chance of Manchester City winning the European Cup as Mayweather fighting in the UFC! You can't even get him to fight in the boxing ring."
-A week before the Castillo fight, Hatton was still talking about Mayweather. This time, Hatton claimed he had never seen an entertaining Mayweather fight.
The obsession is clear, but the reason is not. Why the hell does Hatton keep bringing up Mayweather's name? At first you would think it's to try and score a fight with him, but Hatton has clearly been ducking him for over 2 years and it was written into Hatton's contract with HBO that he would not have to face Mayweather. So it definetely can't be because Hatton wants to fight him. Anyone have any idea why Hatton is obsessed with Mayweather?
