    Gotta respect Hatton for giving up the belt to fight JLC.....this has gotta be the most respect shown to Castillo in a while.He truly is one of the Great fighters of today and will give Hatton all he can handle when they fight in June.

      When Hatton was WBA & IBF champion, he was given the Ring belt as well. Then he moved up, as far as I know he still has the Ring belt, considering that the Ring magazine have Hatton as number 1 for 140 pounds.

        Why is hattons management saying that its unfortuanate that Ndous management did not negotiate? Were they willing to pay him to step aside?

            Well, say what you will about Ricky Hatton but I definately respect him more now. He could've easily kept the belt and defended against some lesser opposition but he wants to test himself against Castillo and that's very admirable to me.

            Castillo is no easy opponet, he may not be the same fighter he was years ago but he's still got enough experience and power to give anybody a hellacious fight. Those body shots are ****ing sick. Aside from Miguel Cotto, Castillo is the hardest body puncher in the sport IMO.

            Ricky needs to work on his stomach a lot between now and then.

                  Thank god. I thought he was going to fight N'dou or Urktal or whatever. Glad that he grabbed a pair and picked a good fight.

                    yea i think hatton has the ring belt.

                    and the point of fighting URANGO was to get back his old belt and then fight castillo with it. But then all this politcal crap came into play.

                    Basically, we should have seen Castillo-Hatton on January 20th

                      Right on cacheton... None of the "belts" mean anything... Fights like this one are bigger that any useless strap out there....
