Hatton Snipes Mayweather, Vows Castillo War

[-EX-]

Hatton can look forward to his war with Castillo. It should be a very good fight. As far as the come forward style, brawlers don't last as long as pure boxers. I'd much rather have great boxing skills, then having a good chin and being able to brawl with other fighters.

If Floyd didn't have bad hands and him and Ricky met up Ricky would come forward and get put on his ass. If he wants to be remembered he's gonna have to win while coming forward. Not box like he did against Urango, and get his head snapped back like Collazo did to him.

Its all good though, I don't see why every now and then Hatton has to say something smart about Mayweather.

Cos Floyd's always slating him?

It does make me laugh... and this is not aimed at you Mayweather90, you're a cool cat.... but Floyd can come on and say he's ****ed Hatton's mother and it's all okay. But should Ricky dare to even say something even remotely detracting, or suggest that the great God Mayweather isn't perfect, and all Floyd's fans come out on a witchhunt.

[moochi]

leave hatton alone, hes just trying to sell his fight...i wouldn't look much into it at all, he's one of the honest guys out there that respects all boxers...

so his recent unusual self is just about selling his own fight and he has a right to do it.

Cortdawg keep it real now. You have to live up to that sig, which means you have to be as rational and diplomatic as possible. We pwn punks who step out of line, but we do not go nationalist under any circumstances. You got me brother?

I didn't mean that in a natinalistic way. All I'm saying is that the Brits are Homers and they support their fighters. And there is nothing wrong with that, that is a good thing for Hatton especially becuase I doubt he would still be mentioned in such high regard if it wasn't for the crowds. And the arenas he was in only held a few people in them. He fought Urango in a ballroom, a 100 people can make it sound ridiculously loud in a ballroom. Americans are fickle and we want what we want, if we don't get what we won't, we complain and voice that displeasure. It seems as though the Brits support no matter what though. Imagine Floyd or a Mosley holding in every exchange like Hatton did in the last few rounds against Urango, you don't think they wouldn't get booed

Can you try and:

A. Stop shouting

B. Talk like an adult.


I have ZERO interest in talks about "nuthuggers" and "pwnage". zero.

Also, the futility of your statement is incredible... not everyone who fills the rings in the US is a Hatton fan per se... what, did you think the entire city of Manchester had come over or something?

Also, Floyd was booed in his last fight by "his" fans, so to use that analogy is meaningless.


Like I said, I don't necessarily agree, but...

they are if it's a Hatton fight. And I don't know if he got booed by his fans. They just might have been people who came to see him get beat up or casual fans.

This is a really, REALLY silly generalisation.


Cos everyone's the same, right?


And Americans are more discerning. The only time Americans are more discerning is when they're deciding whether or not to have six donuts or five.

So you're saying he HAS been booed then?

well how about this for a generalization; if he keeps on hugging the only people that will be in his ballroom fights are Brits!!

[cortdawg25]

Uh yeah, I heard them. But that doesn't mean i agree with them. Hell, for all I know they could've been booing Baldomir for not being able to do anything.

Dont be ridiculous. Did you not see all the Brits on here mocking Harrison's latest loss, or laughing at the state of our current Heavyweight division. Guys like Calzaghe and Hatton are our best fighters, they've never done anything to deserve us to boo them, they've been fairly impeccable throughout their career so far representing us on the global stage, so of course we support them. We also support guys who have potential like David Haye and Amir Khan, yet when they underperform we criticise them for it. We get on board with guys like Danny Williams and Matt Skelton when they are fighting foreigners because they show great heart, that doesnt mean that we are above criticising them either.
