    Yeah I hope he impresses in this fight. Not that it will matter too much, because Castillo will be retroactively described as a shot fighter before Rick has even had his hand lifted.

        Castillo comfortably making the weight makes it sound to me like he's in decent shape too.

          He's got his hands full in this fight. He's gonna have to be in top shape just to beat Castillo. I think a few years ago Castillo would take him but he's getting a bit too old now.

            I hope Mayweather does fight him and kicks his arse!!! Someone needs to get some payback for my man Kostya!!! Mayweather Williams Cotto n Margarito could all be the right men for the job!!! Hatton is nowhere near as fast as floyd and people are dreaming if they think he is!!! Even DLH will kick his arse in the speed department!!! Also in a fight!!! he should fight SSM and see how good he really would go against floyd!!! they fought the same guy (Collazo) and shane looked ten times better then hatton!!! How does his hand speed match floyds!!! One thing i will agree that hatton has over floyd is the body attack!!! but if he wants to beat floyd he needs to pressure him in the same way sam soliman did winky!!! Im not so sure he can!!!

              The only person who has said that Hatton is fast enough to compete with Floyd is Steve Forbes who has sparred with both men.

                  I think you should always take a current sparring partner's comments with a pinch of salt. On the other hand I think Forbes is better qualified to comment on Mayweather and Hatton's comparitive handspeed than Brooklyn Cesar.

                    Ok, im gonna make an educated guess here, i dont think im hating when i say this.

                    I dont think Ricky Hatton is faster than Floyd Mayweather.

                    lol.
