Rees ruled out of Ricky title bid

[-----------]

RICKY HATTON has been told he cannot challenge WBA light-welterweight champion Gavin Rees in his next fight.


Hatton, 29, is considering his options after being knocked out by Floyd Mayweather for the WBC welterweight title in Las Vegas.


And trainer Billy Graham wants the Manchester boxer to return to light-welterweight.

Insane

Hatton won IBF and WBA titles before stepping up a weight for the second time to face Mayweather.

Welshman Rees, 27, holds the WBA title but his manager and trainer Enzo Calzaghe said: “I’d be insane to let Gavin make his first defence against Ricky.


“I’m a manager with a heart. It’s not logical that we put him in with Ricky.


“They see Gavin as an easy route to being world champ again but I rule it out at the moment.”

Yeah well Rees deserves to defend the strap ONE time on his own terms. If he wins another fight then maybe he should go after Hatton

Money talks tho, If theyre offered enough theyd take the fight.

[feed-the-goat]

let him keep his belt.
Let ricky fight the best in big fights, not for titles against poorer fighters

[Chunk..]

Enzo Calzaghe ain't ****** enough the throw Rees into the same ring as Hatton. It'd be like throwing a lamb in the ring with a wolf!!!

Yea, If they gave just £1 million to Rees, be his biggest payday ever.

Is he really going to achieve alot?

I know I'd take the money.

No shame in a loss to Ricky Hatton for a few million
