Is Hatton overlooking Castillo?

[Brockton Lip]

Every week I see articles and interviews with Hatton talking about Mayweather but not as much talk about his opponent.
With all this talk from Hatton about Mayweather, is he looking past Castillo?

[Brockton Lip]

It's coz he gets asked questions like "Who would you like to fight after?" all the time, hes not overlooking Castillo, hes just being polite and answering the questions given to him most of the time. It's more of a case of that, then Ricky bringing up on his own accord.

Every interview I read he goes on about how Castillo is one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world and how neither of them takes a step backwards and how he likes guys who come forward. Then he might talk about fighting Mayweather.

I don't think he's overlooking Castillo.

He is thinking of Castillo but I feel he may be thinking of a fight with Mayweather a bit too much.
Some fighters when training for a fight and asked about a potential future opponent, they say We'll see what happens but I can't think of that too much yet, right now I'm focusing on beating this guy. Hatton for example, in a very recent interview, said this:

'"I don't think Mayweather will retire because he wants to be remembered as an all-time great, but to do that he has still got to do something a little bit more. As far as talent and boxing ability goes he is second to none but in terms of excitement I haven't seen Mayweather in one good fight yet. He has got very negative as he has got older..."
"In 10 to 15 years' time when you're a fight historian and you look on that shelf where all the great fights are, are you going to reach for a Floyd Mayweather video? I think Floyd is a far better fighter than Arturo Gatti but I think people will be watching Arturo Gatti's fights for long after they will be watching Mayweather's. He just never gets me on the edge of my seat," Hatton said. "I'm not bothered about being remembered as the greatest of all time but I want people to watch my fights in years to come and say, there was a guy who could really fight."

Just seems to be hes talking a bit too much about Mayweather. I still predict him to beat Castillo but think he could certainly be thinking about his current fight more (or so it appears, who knows). Just a thought.

I think Hatton will win but if he loses I will lmflyao.

I think hatton hand picked castillo cause he feels castillo is a faded warrior!!! I hope he gets his butt kick for looking past castillo!!! Castillo is a legend Hatton can only dream of being one!!!

Did Castillo beat Floyd?

[majestiC]

what a faded warrior thats hasn't lost since contraversially vs Corrales, before that Mayweather. A fighter isn't shot when he wins, Ngoudjo is a great prospect, Castillo is never up for small fights, never has and never will be. He thought he could coast the fight and was suprised, any big fight the real castillo turns up. If castillo was shot, he would of lost his last fight who was unbeaten. I'm just looking forward to the fight, because it will bring back the real Ricky Hatton, and the real ricky hatton is the most exciting fighter on the planet match that with Castillo and were looking at easily FOTY.
