    Sorry, but Judah is not on the same level as Castillo, plus Zab was coming off of a loss. Weren't you one of the ones claiming Zab was a current world champ when Floyd beat him?

        for one, Castillo never rose to the occasion in ANY of the big fights he was in, he always came up short. Judah KO'd Spinks in the biggest fight of Spinks career in his hometown and captured the WW crown, this is something castillo could never do, im sorry.


        And no, i would never claim no **** like that, im not that ****ing ******.

          Not at all, Rickys a very good strong and accomplished fighter. This fight will only prove how good FLoyd truly is because I think Ricky will give him hell...I can tell he wants to because no matter how much he says it...Floyd has gotten underneath his skin

              Hmmm... 2000 upset of the year, Castillo beat Stevie Johnston for the WBC Lightweight Title, a title he defended until he was robbed by Mayweather. Comes back in 2004 and wins it back again and defends it against fighters like Casamayor and Julio Diaz. Finally loses it to a very good fighter in Diego Corrales, but he KOs him in 4 in the rematch. This year he beats undefeated Ngoudjo in the WBC LWW title eliminator, before losing to Hatton.

                OK. I don't want to argue that. But the Judah that Floyd fought had already fallen from grace. So this will be a bigger win. No one can seriously dispute the quality of this win. Hatton beat a legend for the undisputed 140 lb title and defended it several times, albeit against mediocre competition. Floyd is catching him at just the right time.
                This will the the best, and second biggest fight on Floyd's resume.

                  Hatton has nothing to lose, everything to gain.

                  Some people in here think Hatton is a bum already.

                  Like Billy Graham said in 24/7 "Ricky is an idol in Britain, and a God in Manchester." I think thats all he wants and needs. He's far exceeded what was expected of him.

                  If he loses however - i think his career will still be intact, and i think fighters will still want a piece of him. After PBF, win or lose - Hatton will still be able to make pay days.

                  Hatton victory = Hatton vs. DLH
                  Hatton loss = Hatton vs. Mallignaggi

                  OR..in the event of a bloody, multi-knockdown but close win/loss = PBF vs. Hatton rematch.

                  GREAT POST

                      you and i both know he looked like **** in that fight against Ngoudjo, he looked like he had aged, and considering how suspect Ngoudjo looked in his last fight, its what made it look that much worse. i will give you casamayor and julio diaz, but other than that, NO i dont think he was robbed by mayweather, it was a close fight, but you dont fall asleep for the first half of a fight and then win 5 rounds later in the fight and win a whole 12 round fight, but thats just me.
