Hatton: "I'm Convinced I Can Beat Mayweather"

[Brother Blues]

Let me say this again,so even the ****** and mindless fans of Hatton can understand...

Ricky Hatton and Mayweather will not fight...at least not for a few years.
Hatton's camp understands that this would be a terrible match-up for Hatton.
He would take a terrible beating...so after they have milked the cash-cow know as the Hitman for all he is worth,and he is down to one last payday...then and only then would they be serious about a PBF fight.

To even think that Hatton is serious now shows how gullible some of you are.

But props to Hatton for at least fighting in America...unlike that local *****,Calzone.

its a known fact hatton is a coward,

Wow. In what dictionary of true facts did you find this gem? Or is it merely your opinion that a world class fighter is cowardly?

[squealpiggy]

On the other hand if a fight between Mayweather does happen it will be the first time Mayweather has fought a current P4Per. So it would be great for the legacies of both fighters.

According to IBF junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, the "old Hatton" is back, and his younger brother Matthew agrees. Trainer Billy Graham had to actually break the two of them up from a tough sparring session. [details]

I would be cheering him on but I think Hatton has gone Mad.....Floyd would rip him a new ass.

[Dorian]

right... Ricky should focus on Castillo... Mayweather would straight beat Ricky down!

[hugh grant]

PBF might very well beat him straight down, but it is still a fight that should happen. Because people want to see it. If it dont happen, people in 30 years time will be saying "what would have happened and who would have won" and i dont want no fantasy talk, when it can happen.

Guys have priced themselves out of fighting Calzaghe for YEARS, yet they dont seem to get much criticism for it. Evidently Hatton knew that he wasnt ready to fight Maywhether at the time. I didnt see PBF challenging DLH 3 or 4 years ago. In boxing sometimes you know that you arent ready.

Its the comments like "Hatton should not be fighting people like Maywhether or Mosely...Hatton shouldnt even think of getting in a ring with Cotto" etc etc, that makes me wonder why the **** people even bother posting here.

He wants big fights. If you think that your favourite boxer is going to knock the **** out of him...then good. But dont say that he shouldnt be looking for fights when you probably spend 90% of the rest of the time on this forum complaining that other fighters arent looking for the big fights.

Floyd challenged Oscar several times on TV more than 3 or 4 yrs ago. I agree with the rest of your post about Hatton pursuing big fights...however he does not follow thru on any of them. He takes fight's with circumstances; Kosta coming off injury and a long lay off, Castillo coming off a long lay off and moving up in weight, Maussa...enough said, Urango...enough said. Why does he not fight people in his weight class that are good, healthy and ready? Like his own countryman...Witter!!! I love to see that fight!!! He dismisses Witter for years and fights Urango? Witter is the WBC Champion I believe.

[hugh grant]

Witter is only champ by default really. Witter aint faced anyone really and Hatton has faced better people than Witter. And Castillo is ok dont you think.

Castillo is cool; however fight Witter next. What is the hold up???

If he can roll back the years, he has all the skills required to beat Mayweather.

Wow, this is funny because I have always said that fighters will wait until Mayweather hits 30+ to fight him, now Hatton wants him supposedly more than every and now you are saying if Hattoon can roll back the years.


I hate this kind of business. Just wait until the product gets older and is on the decline, then take a shot.


Do not get me wrong, I still want to see the fight, but if Mayweather passes it by now because he is retired or just does not care to fight somebody who avoided him, then I will be OK with it.
