Hatton Promises Thriller!

[PugilistSpecial]

It all depends on who performs on the night. This is a genuine 50/50 match, but if Castillo has got old, or Hatton can't reproduce his old form, then there's your loser....... I personally pick Castillo by S/D, though I'll be honest and admit I hope Hatton wins, much as I respect Jose Luis.........

hatton always promises thrillers and talks **** before the fight about his style being exciting.... then after he always gives excuses for his **** performance.

To be fair tho Riz, don't you think he's had some really good performances too? I know you probably think Witter could take him, and I might have to agree, but Hatton's looked pretty good sometimes (Tho I admit, not for AGES...)

hugh grant...you still havent proved to me that you arent actually Hatton. Or has Hatton done something for you before like helped you with all his money. Why would you stand up for him this much? There isnt a reason why Castillo wouldnt do better than Collazo. We know how close it was with Hatton and Collazo. Isnt your answer staring you in the face?

Well its obvious im not Hatton. My real name is Hugh Grant. I dont go overboard with sticking up for Hatton. If i was Hatton i would be starting thread up like "Hatton would destroy PBF in 5 rounds, or " Is Hatton the No1 p4p in the world right now", which i dont. I havent started any threads on Hatton. I only answer when someone talks trash. And i dont know Hatton. And why shouldnt i stand up for Hatton?. He is a good guy. I never used to stand up for him, but that is when i didnt know what he is like. I ask you why you stand up for PBF so much, when he hasnt shown himself to be the most pleasantist of people.
I would understand if you said he was a great boxer and left it at that. But the fawning is a bit too much to digest at times. Its like your trying to write your own legacy!

agree with u, he has def looked very good breaking down fighters at domestic level and other C or D level fighters like stewart, tackie and oliveira. but as soon as he stepped up a lil bit he has not looked good at all. even zoo i thought he only won it because of all the cheating...

his aggresive style is not effective at this level imo. and his boxing skills are terrible, tho it may look good to some against tackie's and urango's of the world. against a top skilled fighter he cannot brawl or box.

im not even sure if hatton will look good against the brawling castillo, as he had his chance to look good against urango and maussa but didnt.

Hatton didn't have to promise it there styles dictate it. Unfortunately this fight will probably only see about 1/5 of the PPV sales that PBF vs DLH received. This despite it probably being a FOTY candidate.

well its not PPV.

This should be a great fight, foty maybe.

But if at anytime Castillo lands a HUGE shot, and Hatton goes down, it'll turn into a clinch fest.

But If Hatton gets hurt and stays up, i think the fight will go on with its great action.

And while Castillo probably has the power at 140 to hurt Hatton, Hatton definetly doesnt have the power to hurt Castillo.

Hatton would have to work that body like a mine and thats whats gonna make this fight hallacious.

You cant clinch and hit the body at the same time

And makes a ton of excuses in the process...

Why do you hate Hatton, $iN? Maybe I should start a thread "Why does $iN Hate Ricky Hatton?" and then make it a poll, with four or options...

I've seen an interesting pattern to his posts.

He hates Hatton because he loves Mayweather. Virtually EVERY thread he creates is some way involving PBF. If its criticising Hatton as a way of bigging PBF up, or talking about how great PBF is, or putting down other people's achievements so as to accentuate PBF's. Its truly worrying.

Of course, the rest of his threads are anti-Hatton or anti-Calzaghe threads.

Its a dismal trend.

Make sure that if you create the poll, you ignore the results that you dont agree with, or twist them to back up your argument.
