So it's ok for Hatton to turn down Witter to instead fight Urango and NDou?

[Nacho_Analstain]

I'm not backtracking. I think Hatton's career is becoming a joke. Thought so before the thread, still think so now.

hows ur career doing,big man?

[FeelTheA-Force]

Is this a joke? I mean his career is seriously becoming laughable. He is so full of contradictions it's baffling. He turns down Witter, who has called him out for years, but who Hatton says isn't a big enough name and instead fights Urango and NDou who are much bigger unknowns? If he's fighting Castillo over Witter, fine, but NDou? The backlash he's gonna receive for this will be off the charts.

hatton will fight castilo, first, dumass

I'm pleased for Hatton's sake that he appears to be continuing with a June Castillo fight. With two years left he cannot afford to waste fights keeping alphabelts. He needs to mop up names, win or lose, for the sake of his legacy. Castillo is a step in the right direction.
I don't believe PBF OR Hatton or ANY boxers with the whole 'ducking' bull****. Everyone wants the right fight for the right price at the right time for them and if they don't get it they start telling everyone they were ducked. Stop believing the hype and the lies. None of them are cowards. Very few of them truthfully avoid each other. Everyone just wants the fight all their own way.
However if Hatton takes down another name as well as Castillo, every other big fighter is going to want to take away his '0'.
He'll be worth $$$ and prestige and then there'll be fights. For the record I don't rate Hatton that highly but I enjoy his style. I think a bigger name fighter like Floyd will not be able to resist the easy, prestigious payday soon.

Is it OK for Floyd Mayweather to turn down The Tszyus Mosleys and Hattons of this world.. and instead fight guys Like Gatti.. Corely and Agustus and call himself a CHAMP??

his career is fast becoming a JOKE... I mean why does he only fight Guys coming off a loss.. or who were beaten by the GUYS he turned down.. or are at the end of their carreers???

Hoooooooooold on there

telll me was it not mosley who said he had toothache in 06 and in 05 tell everyone he werent ready for a big fight was it not hatton's team who said they werent ready in 2005, was it not hatton's team who refused to enter talks with team mayweather for november 06

SIN bring me that btalk link up again brotha

Kostya tyszu ?? lolololol tell me when he has ever mentioned floyds name

[PRboxingfan]

Hatton will never fight Witter!

Can't you guys get that through your thick skull? He gave an interview where he said that he hates Witter just as much as Witter hates him and he'll never fight him because he knows that he's the biggest money fight out there for Witter and he will do everything in his power to prevent him from making a big payday.

Nah, its backtracking. You start the thread berating Hatton for fighting NDou. I respond saying that you ought to weight until an official announcement is made to avoid risk of looking ****** by being overly assumptive. We get something close to that (ie a response from Hatton himself) who says the most likely scenario is that he will drop the belt and continue with the Castillo plans. Then all of a sudden you werent merely continuing your trend of throwing hate at Hatton whatsoever, instead you were hoping to force his hand by contributing to an 'internet movement' that you think will help change his mind?

That was LAME backtracking. Lame.

[riza]

witter wouold batter him if hatton steps up.

Toney, Taylor, Mayweather, Corrales...why?

Don't attempt to retaliate because they beat better competition than Hamed ever attempted to fight (outside of Barrera)

Meh James Toney was ite but then he met Roy Jones. Taylor will get a beating from Calzaghe. Floyd yeah he's p4p #1

[El Jesus]

LOL Exactly. Mayweather has never done anything except for Mayweather. Career-high payday, career-high exposure, career-high NAME on his resume. I mean, did he expect that DLH for some reason WOULDN'T retain the lion's share? And if so, PLEASE explain that for me.

There's nothing about this fight that's a sacrifice for Mayweather except the weight, which should still fit fine on Mayweather's large frame. DLH isn't that much "bigger" than him.

LOL The absurdity of somehow painting Mayweather as some boxing altruist for taking the DLH fight.... Truly insane.... LOL

Ok, i guess im going to have to explain in depth since your not going to see it any way but your own.

Floyd Mayweather's ego is ridiculously large. Hes the number 1 p4p fighter in the sport, hes got alot of money, and hes in his prime, hes never lost.

Every single thing about this fight puts him at a disadvantage to DLH from every aspect as i mentioned.

1. Wearing Reyes gloves which are obviously not in tune with Floyd brittle hand structure.

2. Agreeing to do the fight at 154 from a guy who started at ****ing 130.

3. Agreeing to like i said, just the 10 mill or whatever, when he is infact the p4p number 1 in the sport.

If you read his interviews its obvious he feels hes extremely popular etc etc, alot of what he says deviates from reality. He could have easily NOT agreed to all of DLH's terms because of the reasons i said. Im not saying Mayweather is some kind of ****ing boxing saint who makes great fights for the public, im saying he put himself at a disadvantage greatly not only for big money, but also for the fight the public yearns for, under DLH's terms, even though Mayweather actually holds the p4p number 1 status, which usually entitles him to start making demands etc.

Now what im saying is only an opinion, and i know your first thoughts about mayweahter are nothing but pure negativity with little on the positive end. But understand and read what i said and youll know this fight really is for the public, if it wasnt, he wouldnt go out of his way to make it even agreeing to DLH's terms right down to the ****ing gloves.

You didn't really explain anything. You just repeated yourself and made your reasoning based off of Mayweather's delusions.

DLH started at Lightweight, also. I don't see your point. Yes, Floyd agreed to the gloves and terms. The weight isn't that big of a deal, as I said. DLH isn't some fighter who bruises in on you and pounds you and manhandles you, and even if he was- he's not that much bigger than Floyd. It's going to be a boxing match, and they have almost identical reaches. DLH is also the biggest fighter in the sport, why wouldn't he retain the lion's share? P4P does not equal dollars, and Floyd knows the business aspect of this. You're whole argument is based off of Floyd's delusions, which you admit to. LOL Silly.

Floyd accepted the terms because it's the biggest fight of his career, he's been basically hyping it and begging for it for over a year now. Floyd isn't sacrificing himself for the fans or whatever, he's doing it because it's the biggest fight of his life, in front of the largest viewing audience by probably 500,000 viewers more than his next biggest fight, largest payday (by who knows how much it'll end up being) and a fight which will make him that much more of a draw in his future fights, and the biggest name on his resume of his entire career.

You're simply delusional if you think Floyd is just doing this for the "fans" or for "boxing." He's doing it for FLOYD. The end.
