"Hatton" Now give the guy some respect!!

Yes Porlie, people should give Hatton his due. I just watched a video of the the 4th round...Ricky is an awesome inside fighter. That liver shot was no lucky punch, Hatton knew exactly where to hit.

Yeah mate it was a awesome shot, that same shot would cut anyone down. Hatton would beat Cotto or PBF with that shot.

[porlie]

OK about Lewis, but most Limeys here like to claim him.

Calzaghe has topped that on several occasions; the way he beat Eubank, and especially against Lacy.

But I'm not taking anything away from Hatton; great performance

Lewis Canadian to me mate, he was good but never excited me after the Ruddock fight.
We'll agree to disagree about Calzaghe, Lacy was good but he was no Castillo he wasnt a proven champ of class the way Castillo is and Eubank never fought other top ranked Americans so I couldnt compare him to Castillo either.
I'm so glad Hatton looked so good in America.

That was one devastating body punch. It is rare that you see anything like that.

Yeah to do a Mexican with the liver shot is an achievement in its self, he nearly cut him in half, best 1 I've seen thrown. Bet Castillo still hurtin from it now.

That body punch wasnt as devastating as bernard hopkins shot against oscar roy jones body punch to virgle hill or cottos body shot to carlos quintana. Everybody besides hatton fans were saying that castillo was a shot fighter thats why all these hatton fans were making threads about dont make any excuse win hatton beats castillo right before the fight. Hattons best win are against a 36 kostya tzyu and almost 34 year old castillo whos been in alot of tough fights. Nobody gives him respect because hes never beaten an elite fighter in the prime of there careers. But I do think he deserves a shot at floyd now because there the best two young elite fighters with undefeated records I think that It will be a huge money fight that might bring floyd mayweather out of retirement but the fights going to have to be at 147.

Oh, I'm sure he is. I just hope he didn't suffer any internal injury.

Why would Hatton keep talking about PBF? I mean he left the welterweight division after the Castillo boxing lesson, at what weight does he expect PBF to fight in

[porlie]

i'm sure he'll have no permanant damage from the punch.

Mayweather has no problem making 140...

[No-mas-tias]

WTF? Everyone in here said it before the fight that he was shot. Bob freaking Arum his promoter said he was a shot fighter, you would be ignorant to think that this was even a competitive JLC. He was there because he needed the pay check.

Hatton looked good, know all he has to do is move up to 147 and fight the top guys. He has no competition at 140 and he shouldn't be giving excuses about his body because he's the same height as Cotto, he can fight at 147.
