Duran tips Hatton

[Dynamite Kid]

1) "Underestimating Collazo" is an excuse. Please don't make excuses.

2) What was the excuse, er, um, "reason" for the Urango fight?

3) Louise Collazo doesn't throw "monster" punches. He is a very light-hitter.

okay i wont make excuses and i wont bring up J L Castillo getting robbed against Floyd cause PBF niether his fans made ecuses about that did they at least Hatton deserved his victory over Collazo unlike Floyds over Castillo

by the way Hatton Happened to destroy Castillo ,what Castillo was shot PBF hurt his hands sounds like an excuses to me

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

was tyszu a light hitter?

At 36 years old and very inactive and coming off injuries, I don't know what Tszyu was. All I know is that Tszyu was on fumes. He blew out Sharmba in a few rounds...but so did mayweather and a green Williams. SFW.

I don't use 36 year old retiring fighters as the benchmark. In general. Sorry.

Hatton ran back to 140 and fought somebody named Juan Urango. Louise Collazo was begging for a rematch.

are you for real so PBF hits as hard as tzyu LOL, i dont think PBF thought that maybe thats why he avoided fighting him

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

IN one word.............no. Ask Judah and a good number of others about that. lol

Oh.. I just checked with Zab. He said that Kostya Tszyu wasn't 36 years old and injured/inactive when they fought.

Thanks, though.

May 19th, 2005:

- Is there anybody out there that you want to fight after Gatti?

- Like I said at my last fight when I called Kostya Tszyu out. I called him out. Kostya Tszyu don't never call my name out. Every time they ask about my name, he try to duck and dodge the question and go around my name. I am not like any of these guys; I got a chin, I can give it and take it, I can box, I can fight on the inside as well as the outside and I am smart. He knows I am an intelligent fighter. Smart fighters know smart fighters.

"I can't make these guys fight," said an exasperated Mayweather, who had hoped to face Wright in what would have been one of the year's most intriguing bouts instead of what will turn out to be nothing more than a glorified exhibition.

Former lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight champion Shane Mosley was offered a bout against Mayweather, but declined.

Mosley said he wanted a couple of tuneups, but said he'd fight Mayweather next year.

Kostya Tszyu isn't sure he'll fight again. His conqueror, Ricky Hatton, turned Mayweather down before money was even discussed.
Oscar De La Hoya has mentioned Mayweather, but said he won't consider him until late 2006.

That's around the time when Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he'd be willing to put young and promising Miguel Cotto in against Mayweather.


NUMBER THREE:

Today’s sensational 140-pound crop includes universally recognized champion Kostya Tszyu (31-1), his next challenger Ricky Hatton (38-0), Mayweather (32-0), and Cotto (22-0).

Gatti (38-6), resurgent recently, has a big following, and adds steam to boxing’s best division.

It all sounds great until the socio-political stuff factors in. Tszyu fights for Showtime.

Mayweather, Cotto and Gatti all fight for HBO. It’s a highly unusual situation that the smaller of the two subscription-cable boxing giants holds sway over a division populated by so many of the larger network’s fighters, but that is the position.

"I would love to fight Kostya Tszyu,” Mayweather said. “If the money's right, I'll go to Russia to fight him. I just want to show I'm the best. But with HBO and Showtime, I know it's going to be hard to make the fight."

Mayweather’s first order of business is a June pay-per-view fight with Gatti, which is a long, long way from a done deal.

He would like Tszyu after that, unless Oscar De La Hoya wants to rumble. Mayweather still craves that fight, though De La Hoya consistently has remained three weight divisions heavier. But if De La Hoya drops back to welterweight as advertised, they will be separated by just one division and seven pounds.

"It's part of history. My uncle's a two-time world champion, we've got a lot of controversy with my dad and my uncle, two fighters from the same family, one training the Golden Boy (Floyd Mayweather Sr.) and one training the Pretty Boy (Roger Mayweather). It's a fight I think should be made,” Floyd Jr. said. "I know at the end of the year, it's going to be me and Oscar. We've got to get it on. He can't keep ducking and dodging."

Why do you put so much stock in what fighters say in lousy interviews?

You know what Floyd did, though? HE REMATCHED CASTILLO IMMEDIATELY.

Hatton ran back to 140 and fought somebody named Juan Urango. Louise Collazo was begging for a rematch.




Manny Steward in round 1: "Oh my God. Castillo is a shot fighter"

the fact is both of them were criticised for these performances and rightly so ,PBF probably wanted to rematch him more than Hatton wanted to rematch Collazo cause everyone thought he got beat and Hatton won his fight according to most pundits and broadcasters

you cant say the majority thought PBF won that fight HELL 1 BOXING SITE HAD Castillo in the top 6/7 in the p4p rankings based on the fact they thought he had a strong claim to be the only man to have beaten him
LOL
