Hatton: "Don't kid yourself... Floyd can fight up close"

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Are you talking about the same hatton who couldn't **** with Urango, his was getting his insides tore up and decided to hug the whole fight

Ouch.

Broke four of his ribs, 100% true.

may I have a link or news report, please?

hatton NEVER weighs 143... Where did you get that from? hatton will be 146-147 at weigh-in, and 153-ish on fight night.

It was on this site in one of the stories. his trainer and team said they made a mistake trying to make Hatton as big as his opponent, and for the Floyd fight they were aiming at a weight between 140 and 147.

Even Cotto couldnt handle his power of Urango in a sparring session or amateur fight,Cotto said Urango was the strongest guy hes met, Floyd is not anywhere near as strong as Urango

I'm sorry. That is completely non-credible. The footnote refers to an article about castillo breaking ribs in a Garcia sparring session.

As you know, anyone can edit wiki.

In fact, go check the article again!!

thats about Hatton's weight for the Floyd fight.

Next time i see José Luis Castillo, i'll ask him.

you know wikipedia is put up by fans right?

naw I heard that Castillo did break some ribs .. but I wonder on the truth of it

can you come up with a source a bit more valid then an encyclopedia that anyone can edit?


Hatton can come in at 143 for the weigh in .. but no way he'll weight under 150 by fight night ... trust me

he weighed 139 1/2 on the scales for the Urango bout and came in at 150 ish on the HBO scales

but keep in mind, because of the 7 inch reach advantage it might be a bit easier for Floyd to fight "inside" so to speak.

because he doesn't have to get as close to hit him.

*the 65 vs 72 isn't just a number ... Floyd doesn't just have advantages (speed, footwork, defense) .. he knows how to use them.
