    the same cannot be said about Castillo v Floyd 1 ,HBO had him losing the fight the punch stats were against him & most Boxing fans thought he lost the fight

    this is why Hatton did'nt rematch & PBF did
    Wrong. The SKY team had Collazo winning the fight 114-113, and Nicky Piper, Johny Nelson and others all had Collazo winning.

        Hatton stated in an interview he would give Collazo a rematch but went down to 140. You could say Hatton beat Luis and Floyd beat Cas (first match) but they were both controversial decisions. However, only one of the two losers recieved a rematch to end all doubt.

          there wouldn't have been much interest in a collazo rematch really.

            i sort of agree but i dont think either should be beaten with the Collazo or Castillo stick, they both had close decisions but if people are gonna debate one and neglect to bring up the other then there is gonna be a lot of division

              Well said..Most people in England thought Hatton lost..The SKY team and even most people in the pub thought he lost, We all breath a sigh relief when he was given the decision, People started saying he won a couple of days later just to make themselves fill better...It was a controversial decision just like the Mayweather/Castillo one...Mayweather gave a rematch like he promised while Hatton didnt.

              He went down to fight Urango? Are you telling me people would prefer him fighting Urango over a Rematch with Collazo to set things straight? Even Hatton knew he lost hence him saying he would rematch Collazo..Collazo isnt a big enough name to just force people to force the rematch.

                I'm telling you that HBO would rather see him fighting Urango.

                  Please dont insult our intelligence...HBO also prefer Mayweather fighting Bruseles? Fighters pick and choose who they fight not HBO..if he had said he wanted to rematch Collazo HBO would have said yes.

                    it goes like this if Floyd had not gotten the decision he did against Castillo in the 1st fight which he did'nt deserve IMO ,then he would have had a loss on his record and he would have had to rematch Castillo anyway

                    so i dont see why after getting the benefit of the judges he should be patted on the back for rematching Castillo especially when most people thought he lost the first fight he should have been Happy to have kept his "0" and given Castillo an opurtunity to do again what he did in the first fight

                    no way should he be patted on the back for robbing Castillo & then have the good grace to grant him a rematch lmfao

                    i dare say Hatton would have rematched Collazo if the overwhelming number of people thought that he lost the fight as was the case when floyd fought Castillo 1st time around

                    basically niether fighter deserves more credit than the other for these performances it is just tit for tat between rival fans dont try & credit 1 and discredit the other lets just let this issue slide all will be revealed DEC 8TH

                      HBO wanted Hatton fight Urango to LOOK good. Hatton was always going to have problems with a southpaw who could feasibly be a light-middleweight. He still won a UD, nobody wanted a rematch really, apart from Collazo, he lost.
