De La HOYA interested in fighting RICKY HATTON????

[GunStar]

how many hatton fights have u seen?

Why are you asking him such a ****** question?? He explained why he's not a Ricky Hatton fan, so live with it, not everyone can be a Ricky Hatton fan, also they've shown enough fights from Hatton here in the US.

[GunStar]

i'd disagree, the consensus in america with people who have seen him fight maybe 3 times is that he holds. The feeling in britain is that hes an exciting fighter who although doesnt get it right every time, he gives 100%. hence 10 000 fans crossing the pond to watch him. 10 000 people can't be wrong

You forget Americans seen his big wins that is why many are not impressed with his style, they've shown around 8 Hatton fights in the US, that is more then enough.

He may have xplained quite adequately why he isn't a fan, but he doesn't come close to explaining why he hates Hatton. I'm no fan of Mayweather but I don't hate him. Where would I find the time?

RICKY HATTON shouldnt get the money De la Hoya brings.....Hatton may very well be the only fighter ive ever hated......

hatton might not be everyones idea of a great boxer. but most ppl in england love to see boxers with heart and agression witch is what hattons all about.

as for hating him thats quite pathetic. and i think you should grow up.

He's saying this to make Hatton look bad. Because he's friends with Mayweather, I hope both of them and this whole old guard quickly vanishes if Hatton beats Floyd and I'm predicting him to so that will work toward that end.

Make Hatton look bad as in.

Hatton beats Mayweather.

People can say then well he never beat De La Hoya but Mayweather did.

And also to hype Floyd. (as if we needed any more of that.)

First to answer your question I never said Hatton couldn't fight. He just holds entirely to much. His strategy (watch his fight) is to hold until he is ready to punch. His opponent has no defense to this b/c his arms are being held.

Ricky Hatton punches get through b/c how can you dodge or block a punch when you are at the same time trying to pry your arms from this clown? Hatton has mastered the timing in holding his opponent until he is ready to throw his punches.

John Ruiz won world championships. Who cares? The general consensus is Hatton is a holdoholic.
Fight and stop holding thats all I ask

Right. Watch the Castillo fight WITHOUT your hating goggles on. First round, yes, a fair amount of holding. After some warnings from the referee he was warned and in the following 3 rounds it was all out inside fighting. Yes, Hatton holds his opponents arms sometimes to gain an advantage on the inside. That is inside fighting, go and learn about it. Inside fighting doesn't solely consist of two fighters putting their heads on each others shoulders and ****ing away at the body without trying to defend or gain advantage.

Urango fight he boxed well for the first half of the fight, before the bodyshots took their toll, and combined with the fact that he had a bad chest infection before the fight, i think he's entitled to do what was necessary to win the fight. Collazo he ate punches all night and fought completely the wrong fight.

is de la hoya hiding the rest of his last name? stein?berg?cohen? because he has a nose for that money............

[McNulty]

I think hes ****in w/Hatton. No way this fight happens.

If it does...

DLH TKO 5

[Double]

Hatton is too small to use the holding and rough house tactics on De La Hoya, I too think Oscar beats him up worse than Mayweather due to Oscar's greater power.
