    Well i consider PBF a very good boxer. But when i look at other great Americans of the past that i like, like Ali, SRR, SRL and Marvin Hagler. They all came to London and fought the best british had to offer. PBF dont even need to come to London. He can box Hatton in America. That is why Hatton is in America. Do you think Hatton likes it in America or something. He prefers drinking in his home town Manchester and the fish and chips is better i bet.
    Yep Hatton said the time wasnt right once upon a time. But as i said PBF should be able to see the benefits it will have for his legacy to have fought the best Europe had to offer. PBF has beat some of the best in America. But who ever said the best was in America? That is why it is a no brainer that this should happen in PBFs own mind.

      This fight probably will happen IF Hatton not only beats Castillo but dominates and if it is very lucrative for Floyd. That's the only way I see this fight happening. I for one would like to see this fight happen. Should be a good fight but i think Floyd would have Hatton's face a mess until they finally stopped the fight.

      My pick would be Floyd by stoppage.

        Money cant be the only reason why PBF should box Hatton. PBF has been rewarded for his talents and will never be short of money. The fight should happen because people are talking about it, and will continue to do so. They should fight just so people can stop talking about it.
        And PBF might make Hattons face a mess, but that isnt a good enough reason why the fight shoulnt be made. Its time one of them had a loss on their record. If it is Hatton, then so be it.

          I never said that is why Floyd shouldn't fight Hatton it's boxing anything can happen I'm saying that's what I think would happen. And as far as people talking about the fight Hatton is well known through the boxing community no doubt but the average person would not know who he is that's why I said he needs to either dominate Castillo so more casual fans hear about him and put pressure for this fight to happen and the money has to be there for Floyd. You can't deny that.

            Because noone knows Ricky Hatton, cept for us boxing fans. I think Hatton is decent but after Urango, lol. I doubt he beats Castillo easly, let alone Mayweather.

              Hatton is well known by the boxing community, as is PBF. The average person on the street in England wouldnt know who PBF is. The average person on the street in America might not know who Hatton is. But the boxing communty does and the fight is for the boxing community. Noone else really.

                Floyd is pretty much unknown in the UK.

                  Don't give me that ****, Floyd just fought the biggest name in boxing believe me he is waaaaaay more well known than Hatton. That fight alone put his name out there twice as much as Hatton's. It's funny how you Hatton fans put so much **** on Floyd when Hatton turned him down a few times already. Floyd don't need Hatton, nobody will look back and say Floyd wouldn't come out of retirement to fight Hatton they will say Hatton was ringside when Floyd fought Gatti and didn't want to fight Floyd after that fight he kept saying he wasn't ready for FLoyd even though his followers was saying he's the man he beat Kostya lets see him in there with Floyd. I wonder why he didn't take the fight Floyd then?

                    Floyd is far less well known over here. Not many have heard of him.

                      Boxing fans in the UK know EXACTLY who mayweather is,

                      Especially as hatton is always talking about him,

                      Since the gatti fight, mayweather has been hyped over here.
