    Look for Hatton to stop Castillo late imo. Even though I don't particularly like Hatton, CAstillo looked far from impressive against Ngoudjo

      My point is this: If Ricky doesn't like watching Mayweather, what's he think of Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker?

      He probably admires and respects them a lot too.

        I'm not really a big fan of Hatton, but I can see what he means about not wanting to trade styles. I think he takes pride in being a tough, gritty guy, as opposed to being a highly skilled guy like Mayweather that doesn't really want to go out of his way to take people out, like he could have against Baldomir.

          I am still pissed off about the glove size. Both Hatton and Castillo should complain.

            ohh and ricky shouldnt be allowed to say fighters like me gatti and chavez, cos chavez would destroy him lol he is not in his braket as a fighter
            the paler is not in gatti's or chavez's league he is delusional. he thinks beating a 35 year old zoo qualifies him to mention floyds name in the same breath as his

              lol and what league was GAtti in? Gatti is imo an average fighter but with a lot of heart and because of this people love him and want to believe that he is better than he really is but hes not

                Man it's amazing how Hatton keeps dissing Floyd's style. The only fight in which he did anything close to running was the Baldomir fight, and he was hurt, yet still pitched a shutout. Saying people will remember him more than Floyd is ******ed. Who do people remember more and who's better regarded historically, Shawn Kemp or Tim Duncan?

                Funny how he mentions Gatti as a fighter that will be remembered more than Floyd, yet look what Floyd did to him. Did he ever run in that fight? Was he boring? Nope, he just handed out a first-class ass-whooping.

                Oh, and even funnier is that Hatton has been ducking Floyd and all of a sudden he's dissing his style. Hatton is a joke.

                  Hatton says it out of Fear. He tries to divert attention of who he is fighting by dissing Floyd. He thinks by making people question the way Floyd fights will be a question on Floyd's "Man-hood", thus making himself (Ricky), look more of a "Man" for the way he fights, which is Ironic because you would think that a Man wouldn't want to snuggle with another.

                  Seriously, when was the last time Gatti wrestled/snuggled?
                  Gatti could be worn out, and would still punch back instead of holding. Of course Gatti is also the person that Frank Cappacino told during the Gatti vs. Ward match, "You don't block with your head Arthur"

                  Gatti and Hatton fight that way because they don't have the the superb skill and intellect for boxing that Mayweather has. If they did, they would use it.

                  I don't want to sound like I am ripping Gatti and Hatton, no, I like the way they fight, except for Hatton's Ruiz like style, which becomes as boring as Mayweather running around.

                    Hatton might not take a backward step but that doesn't mean he will brawl with castillo, I see him holding Castillo the way he did against Tszyu, Collazo and Urango!

                    If Hatton brawls Castillo the sameway Chico did, then he will earn my respect, but I don't see it happening!

                      Castillo didn't look so good in his last fight. He looks beaten down.

                      I just don't know what it proves fighting Castillo now.

                      Hatton should of went after Cotto or even Mosley. Even if Shane isn't the same fighter, he still has more left than Castillo, and is a bigger name.

                      I favor Hatton against Castillo, but anything can happen.
