Look I give Hatton his due respect but when you guys come in here saying he would destroy FLoyd or say FLoyd is a runner but Hatton holds the whole time it gets a little old. Floyd thrives on guys who try to bully thier way in just look at his whole career. You opinion is Hatton wins my opinion is Floyd wins so we agree to disagree.

Do you think in the Mayweather DLH fight that Mayweather won?? Well I had it as DLH fight..If DLH was A bit stronger he would have defs took the fight..Now Hatton will take DLH out would he not? If Hatton gets Mayweather in the same places in the ring that DLH did Mayweather is gonna be outta there..Ricky aint calling for Mayweather for the money, He wonts to smash the so called greatest fighter of his generation him up big time, And if Ricky is saying he will do the job then to be honest I will back him all the way..

Dlh would ko Hatton and Castillo looked slow as **** so there is no way to judge how he will do against PBF. (shot to peices) I think Hatton is good but Castillo was no where close to the fighter he used to be and the weight hurt him with out a doubt (it had to). Any i think Hatton would have his moments but PBF is far better then anyone Hatton has faced. Zoo is very good but tailor made for Hatton he cant handle being pushed back, PBF is a very good infighter altought lately u couldnt tell. Also he is a lighting quick counter puncher. PBF will bust Hatton up bad mark my words in time all the haters will see. Peace out

Hatton was undoubtedly far stronger and fitter than Castillo. Jose didnt do anything. He was awful in his last fight and even worse here. He is washed up. Hatton needs to fight someone in their prime for once in his life. If Ricky doesnt fight Cotto or Mayweather next I will never respect him again. He is a great fighter, one of the best, but cashing in against past-their-prime fighters is getting real old. Maybe he will fight Ray Leonard next?

I give Hatton the respect that he had the right people in place to convince Castillo to throw the fight, probably for some of the proceeds from a Hatton/Mayweather, Hatton/Cotto, or etc., as well as forgiving his present debt and lawsuit. I hope they pay off, as Castillo is ruined.....

It is pretty serious allegations you guys are throwing at Castillo, suggesting that he throwed the fight.
Rumours spread fast you know.

I don't get how someone could even accuse Castillo for taking a dive, no matter how the fight ended. This is the same Castillo who gave us the greatest fight of this century.
No wonder boxing struggles with a "fan"-base like you guys...

[Dazzaman]

Ricky is a good fighter but against Cotto and Mosley? Might be a step too far at this stage. Mind you, if he is to get some respect, he has to fight guys of that calibre (including PBF if Floyd wants it!).

There's the rub fella's, at this stage of the game Ricky is the newbie (relatively speaking), the other guys will only want to do it if the price is right and the price WILL have to be right for the bigger name guys. The comer, in this case Hatton, generally has less cards to play when it comes to haggling for prize money.

People hate.

Last time I checked, boxing was about beating your opponent. Hatton beat one of the best in the game, and did it in a manner that very few predicted and no-one else has ever managed including most people's P4P #1 .... twice.

[Steelhammer86]

The jealousy and hate for Hatton from some people is unbelievable. These people are poor sports who refuse to give Hatton credit for his win.

If he fights and beats Mayweather now, they'll say Mayweather was shot or got paid off. Why don't they have the capacity be fair about Ricky? Why does their hatred run so deep?
