The fact that Hatton sucks have been proven once again

[phallus]

Tonight had nothing to do with Hatton having problems with a very good southpaw and everything to do with how great a fighter Sugar still is.

all tonight showed is that collazo needs to get a lot better, and shane's skills are still sharp at his natural weight. what happened in the ring tonight has **** all to do with hatton, although i think hatton has been punishing his body - ballooning up to 185 and then dropping back down to 140, eventually he's gonna pay

the saaaaaaaaad truth is, if HATTON beats CASTILLO is a war, THERE will STILL be excuses going around.

And if u think CASTILLO was in shape for his last fight, u r insane. He was flabby, u couldnt see any signs of a sixpack, and there almost no muscle definition at all.

Against Hatton, He will come in muscular.

He was out of shape and looked like **** because he is a true lightweight who doesn't belong at 140 but his body has betrayed him. He has looked like **** everytime he fought above lightweight, which includes the fights before Ngoudjo...

he looked like ****... because he was out of shape.

Its a simple concept actually.

If he comes in at 140 because of added muscle mass rather then added fat, then you will see a competitive CASTILLO, and one that reminds you of the PRE-CORRALES days.

And the NGOUDJO fight was the first fight where i was completely unimpressed with CASTILLO. His previous fights at 140 werent ****... hes a good fighter where ever he fights.

Maybe its the SIZE of his opponents that matters and Hatton is significantly smaller

Pernell Whitaker was 5'6 and became king at welterweight and also fought at 154, i dont wanna hear that. If you cant move up ONE division, name one hall of fame fighter who couldnt dominate at least 2 divisions.

Monzon, Hagler, Norris, Foster, Pedroza, Gomez (his titles above 122 are hardly "domination"), Napoles, Cokes.

One point I'd like to mention is Hatton is busting out of the seams at 140. He's very big like Cotto was. After the 140 weighin, Hatton gets up to about 152-154 lbs. That's not exactly small & that's why he's effective at 140 because he comes in as a Jr. Middle bullying the smaller fighters. Also I've read reports that making 140 isn't easy at all for Hatton & that he struggles at times. Just like what was said that Sweet Pea is 5'6 & was a lightweight that fought at a high level at much higher weight classes.

Hatton doesn't seem all that small at 140, not his body frame. He's just short.

Hatton is nowhere near being a pound for a pounder. Shane outlanded Collazo 200-87 and Collazo gave Hatton a tough-ass fight. Also, when you see how bad Hatton looked against Urango, holding all the time, I just don't get why anyone would put him near a P4P list. Beating Castillo won't mean **** either, since he is a shade of his former self.

On a side note, Shane was pretty impressive to me. He was very fast and pretty accurate too.

Exactly, we shouldn't even mention Haton's name no more. He is nonrelevent and the fact that Mosley disposed of Collazo so easily futher diminishes the luster of Ricky Hatton. The guy fights a bunch of nobodies and hasbeens, then beats up old man Zoo at like 3 in the morning, fights Maussa for title defense, struggles with Collazo and then moves back down to 140 to hug Urango. Do we really need to talk about him any longer.

And yet...your post was doing just that and not at all going into any detail about the Mosley/Collazo bout, as you implied it would.

[TheEvilSaint]

the hatton/collazo fight is the perfect fight for hatton-haters to use. ricky looked like **** and won a close decision. they totally forget the fact that ricky isnt a natural welterweight and collazo is.

dur.
