I agree with Nigel Benn. Hatton doesn't get half the respect he deserves especially from my fellow Americans. He's an exciting fighter and he's what boxing needs. Present fighters like Hatton, Pacquiao, Calzaghe, Pavlik, Judah (when he's focused), to name a few are what fighting is all about. They put on a show worth watching. Once Hatton beats Castillo he'll have done what Mayweather Jr. couldn't do. Don't get it twisted though on Castillo's weight issues with Corrales (twice). He was far embarrassed for that, and he will be coming out with "nothing to lose" d****d over his shoulders in his fight with Hatton. But Hatton will prove to be the better fighter (write that down). If Hatton doesn't get the respect he deserves after the Castillo win then it's not Boxing that's dying, it's the fans intelligence that's dimming.
