      Plus, despite what anyone else might tell you, Hatton is still considered to be absolutely in his prime. And it would draw big attendance figures and probably quite decent PPV figures.

        Again, this moronic logic that all PBF fans cannot seem to overlook.

        Ever considered that perhaps he wasnt ready the first time? Ever considered that perhaps, a couple of years down the line a fighter can feel stronger, faster, better? Ever consider that perhaps he's seen a few things in PBF's latest fights that make him think that he could exploit some of Floyd's weaknesses?

        Or in your opinion are fighters exactly the same every single time they fight throughout their entire career?

          PBF offered that fight soon after the Kostya one am i right? Hatton probably felt it was too soon and that a PBF and Hatton fight somewhere down the line would be massive and more likely.
          But its dangerous to say anything bad about PBF if you care about Karma, which i dont really worry too much about. Im in the red because of PBF fans. And just because i said Pacman would give PBF a good fight at 130lb, even though i agreed that PBF would probably beat him. Just that it wouldnt be an easy 3 rounder for PBF.

            well hatton has always been the same. its a known fact hatton is a coward, you dont need to consider all of those things. hes ducked many other fighters and made ****** excuses to go on and fight for meaningless titles he knows he will have to give up. btw i am no pbf fan.

                That is a genuinely ****** post. Genuinely.

                I can only assume that you've been following his career for about 2 years. As far as I'm aware the only fighters he has avoided that have been realistically offered and who have had a reasonable shout at fighting him were PBF (who at the time he obviously did not believe he could defeat...so fair enough making ridiculous demands for a fight you do not think that you can win) and Junior Witter (who many of us agree is an absolute ****-end, who doesnt deserve to fight Hatton and who we'd rather he didnt waste his time fighting).

                A man who gets into a professional ring 42 times without losing. Who gets punched in the face every day for a living. Who has never quit, who has a style that means he gets hit more than others, who has never signed a contract and then bottled out of it...is a coward these days? By that standard, you and I must be virtually sub-human.

                  now that is a ****** post. so going around mouthing off saying you can beat pbf but only to price your self out isnt a cowardly move? at the time when witter was calling hatton out, both were the best in the country and everyone wanted to see it, so i dont see why witter did not deserve that fight at the time. now that he has a title he certainly deserves it more than urango. anyway what kind of ***** says that he will not fight the other guy because he doesnt want to see him get a payday

                      Whats with the double standards, you say that hatton and pbf should atleast fight does'nt matter win or lose but Hatton is calling him out and they should fight, yet when Witter offers him a fight we hear "witter is a ****-end who does'nt deserve to fight" he has a title and that fight would be big, the only reason someone would'nt take a fight is when they think his opponent might beat him, floyd called hatton out twice offered him fights which hatton refused saying he is'nt ready yet then after floyds win over DLH hatton calls him out? when hatton is a light welterweight and floyd's last fight was at light middleweight.
