Malignaggi, Torres on The Ricky Hatton List

[letsgobrady]

Beat Castillo and Collazo, fought the best P4P fighter on the planet and racked up some good performances on his way to the top.

castillo was coming up from 135 and wasn't the same fighter he was and i thought collazo won

I wouldn't say he "beat" Collazo as much as he survived. Collazo had him out on his feet towards the end of the fight and made Hatton's face look like an undercooked hamburger. Hatton would never face Collazo again, and for good reason.

If beating a shopworn Castillo, whom Emmanuel Steward kept referring to as a "shot fighter" during the telecast, is a badge of honor, then Antonio Margarito is the the next Tommy Hearns for entering the ring with such a dangerous adversary.

Well the facts are Collazo didn't win and Castillo had just come off a win over Ngodjou. The same Ngodjou who taught Malignaggi a lesson less than a month ago.

I don't care about what happened at the end of the fight. A fight lasts 12 rounds so why not focus on the rounds that Hatton dominated?

Plenty tipped Castillo to beat Hatton but he was conveniently shot afterwards.

One of the judges, a blind one presumably, scored it 117-111 to Malignaggi. That says it all really.

hatton didn't dominate any rounds except the first every other round was close or largely collazo like that last round.the majority of people thought castillo was washed up they even mention it in the paulie ndou fight that was a week before the hatton castillo fight

Absolutely. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, but all I heard before the Castillo fight was that it was too close to call. All of the sudden after Castillo is off his feet for the first time in his career he was a shot fighter coming in. How come I didn't hear that before the fight?

I dunno who are these plenty you are referring to, but I knew that something was up when Castillo was getting outhustled and outfought by Ngoudjo, who isn't anything special himself. There is a reason that the attempt at building up Castillo-Hatton as a superfight wasn't successful; Castillo was a shot fighter.

About Collazo-Hatton, there wasn't much domination going on by Hatton. Hatton won most 7 rounds with a knockdown early, but those five rounds Collazo won were a cheat sheet on how to beat Ricky Hatton.

Hatton is a marked man right now, he needs to do something big outside of the cozy confines of Manchester to earn respect. All of that homecooking has a vulnerable fighter made.
