Hatton on potential foes

[Brother Blues]

The HugMan needs someone to give him a good slap of reality...

Hatton is what he is ,which is a good 'local' pug.Probably the baddest man in Manchester,but not much farther.

Hatton was considered the most destructive body puncher seen before Cotto even turned pro. And Urango beat Cotto twice in the amateurs.

Shut up Geoff, the only one who labeled him that is you, and you know damn well Urango would get ***** slapped by Cotto in the pros. Abdullaev and Pinto beat him in the ams too.

[-Antonio-]

are u kidding? #1, you could CLEARLY tell that was an out of shape, flabby Castillo. Not nearly the castillo that came in 140 for CORRALES III

and 2, that castillo almost WAS a better fight then the COTTO of NOW.

And IN SHAPE CASTILLO knocks Cotto out any day. Even the Castillo of now

Castillo just fought a good fighter last time out. He was in fine shape. Dont give excuses.

The amatuers is 3-5 rounds and they wear headgear. Its a whole other story.

There's a lot of hype surrounding Cotto but he's one of those guys who I feel will prove to be deserving of the hype. We still haven't seen him in there with a real live opponent as yet though, and we haven't seen him fight anyone who is regarded as an elite top level fighter.

I don't agree with Hatton that a fight with Cotto is off the radar, but I do think that it's a positive thing for a champion to be confident of being able to beat his rivals.

****ing LOL!!! Cotto is a way bigger draw at this point of his career than Hatton, anywhere but Manchester and who knows. Ricky has looked like **** in his past few fights. He once was an exciting fighter, now people can't stand him because of his excessive clinching. I understand he doesn't want to take an ass beating by Cotto, but making up all this **** is just pathetic. Stick to the Urango's and Collazo's Ricky!

Of course he wasn't, he's old and has trouble making the weight.

exactly!!!! this is why we should bring back the day of the fight way in, castillo would never be in ring with hatton if this was the case lol

???

He made the weight on the dime... but he still wasnt muscular.

replace that fat he was carrying with muscle and not only is it easier for him to make the weight, but he comes in more prepared.

[squealpiggy]

Is it just me or are Hatton's fans far less rabid than the people who hate him?

[nmuburner22]

lol...what a joke...cottos a star... Hatton sounds real scared

Castillo just fought a good fighter last time out. He was in fine shape. Dont give excuses.

he wasnt in good shape at all!!! Anybody could see that.

Every article i have read critisized him for being out of shape.

And Castillo is a better body puncher then Cotto obviously
