Ellerbe: "Hatton, Want Floyd? Sign The Contract!"

[Chipp3r]

If this fight pans out, I really, really feel sorry for Hatton fans.

Ricky is going to get an ass whooping.

Like he was going to get an ass whooping from Kostya Tszyu and Jose Luis Castillo, eh?

[niceguy45]

the fact that they are both undefeated makes it interesting to watch

[bdevils]

I wonder if team mayweather were as impressed with Hattons win over castillo as they were PBFs win over Castillo.?

First off Castillo was huge at that weight (135) and your talking about a fight that happened 5 years ago and a war with Corrales later so don't even try to make a comparison.

[TRUE WARRIOR]

HATTON ain't the champ of the world, he the champ of 140. Floyd is the champ of the world and he has the say so in all stipulations. If hatton is able to even compete in the ring with Floyd is a big achievement, forget going to Manchester, for what...

if mayweather wants to get paid he will go to england. they would make more money there than they would in the usa. but mayweather is just about making the most money for the least risk. thats why he has ducked many fighters before and thats the reason he will avoid hatton.

castillo is not the same fighter he was before but mayweather could never knock him out in a million years.

the ricky hatton fight

In a recent interview conducted by BoxingScene's Tim Smith in his NY Daily News Column, Leonard Ellerbe, the adviser of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., said that if Ricky Hatton really wants to fight Floyd, all he needs to do is sign the contract. [details]

the ricky hatton fight last weekend was a joke it was one of the worst fights ied ever seen clearly a set up jose needed the money he probably got even more money to take the 4th round ko. ricky hatton is a joke he holds the entire fight. my boy luis collazo clearly beat him in their fight in which hatton refused to give a rematch. ricky dosent belong on the same planet as floyd when it comes to boxing. all ricky hatton is is a built up next great white hope im tired of him and his holding go back to england

[Benny Leonard]

So nobody thinks Floyd is declining?




I am not sure if it is age or just the added muscle, but he does seem a tad bit slower and his stamina is not as great as it once was.

I still think that once you hit 30, it can become much harder both mentally and physically to stay at the top of your game fighting.

I favor Mayweather, but I understand why Hatton was trying to wait, and wait, and wait, until Mayweather got a bit bored and older.

For Hatton, the man needs to STFU...I am sick of him using Mayweather's name to promote himself and his fights while never trying to get a fight done with Floyd.

Floyd talks a lot of ****, but if you compare, "Honest" Hatton is a bull****ter because he is trying to deceive the public.

I am not going to go all out and rip him since I guess I can understand that Hatton is just trying to make as much money as possible with little risk. After all, it is his head take the beating, and not mine.

Mayweather would of kicked the living crap out of that version of Castillo.

I bet Mayweather has more power than Hatton right now.


Castillo did not even seem like he had any strength.

Even in the fight prior he was terrible. It was almost like an old man who has shot testosterone and adrenaline levels.

if hatton isnt a good fighter than mayweather should take the fight. it will be easy money. mayweather knows hes not ready to get bumrushed and held by hatton. it will be ugly but no one would be shocked if hatton won.
