Ray Hatton: "Hatton vs. Rees Won't Happen"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As we reported several days ago, the Daily Mail revealed negotiations were taking place for a possible bout between the comebacking Ricky Hatton (43-1, 31KOs) and WBA junior welterweight champion Gavin Rees (27-0, 13KOs) of Wales. Hatton's return is slated for May 24 in Manchester. [details]

looks like ricky the hypeman hatton is still blieving his own hype. how ironic was it that a wrestler disguised as a boxer got his head knocked into the turnbuckle. jus fight sumbody and shutup.

Torres seems like he is ducking any type of decent opposition. They've already turned down a Holt rematch, Victor Ortiz, and another unbeaten Top Rank fighter I can't think of right now.

Thanks for the hate. You've obviously never been in a boxing ring with another man coming after you. Loser.

Its hard to compete. Hatton wants to, but he just can't. Hit and hold just ain't going to work any more. There are alot of legitimate contenders who saw the blueprint to beat him. Sit in the pocket, and throw punches as little pritchard hatton advances. Hatton still has the ability to overwhelm ding-dong style fighters and he has to pick the right one for his comeback.

Ever since his fight with Cotto,he has NEVER looked as fast,in shape or focused in a fight,it seems hes always got a discouraged look on his face now,and hes been down in nearly all his fights since the Cotto one,i think the fight took alot out of him,as it would if u get into that kinda war with a puncher like Cotto

Agree 100%. Torres also looked like crap in the Aranoutis fight and was lucky to get the win.

I hope Haton decides to fight Malignaggi or Witter next, they both deserve a shot at Hatton.
