Ricky Hatton vs. Juan Lazcano is Announced

[squealpiggy]

Like Lazcano...

When the best win on your record is Vivian Harris then it's a good idea to try at least to go after title holders.

While it's understandable that, after his 1st defeat, Hatton's taking on a relatively unimpressive opponent, I think when his fans ultimately demand he fights Witter, that's when the fight will happen. And the tide is turning.. 2 Hatton fans already aired their grieviances on live tv:



More Hatton fans should speak up, it's up to his own fans to convince him. Deep down I think everyone wants to see it, whether you're a Hatton fan (to shut Witter up), a Witter fan (to shut Hatton up) or just a plain boxing fan (to see the best of the best).

The thing is has a british boxing fan i would love to see it, Just for both guys to prove once and for all who the best is at 140, A chance for Hatton to beat his best opponent since Tsyzu, Shut Witter up and retain his claims to been the man at 140 and a chance for Witter to prove he has what it takes to be the Man at 140, I dont mind Hatton fighting his next 2 fights without Witter in it but common after that he has to fight Witter or Ring mangazine should vacate the 140 ring belt.

Hatton is going to KO Lazcano in nine.

Ricky is losing 1 million by not fighting Lazcano at 3 in the morning to accommodate HBO's American audience.

il go and see it for the atmosphere, but what a shameful choice of opponent

I don't really understand the uproar at the opponent. Lazcano is a solid comeback fight from a heavy knockout for Hatton in his last fight. That said I would never think about going and theres no chance i'm buying the PPV. Needs to fight a legitimate fighter in his next fight, assuming he beats Lazcano.

I have no clue why there is this uproar. Anyone that understands the way fight scheduelles are arranged should understand this bout.. If not they should stop embarassing themselves and embarassing Ricky. he's doing what he should.

why? just why?

its Hattons next fight that should be scrutinised im not a massive Hatton fan but its obvious to anyone with a brain that it makes sense for him to fight a gimme fight so soon after Mayweather even if it just a confidence building exercise

if he does 'nt address Witter & Malignaggi next then he is no different to Floyd Mayweather IMO ,not talentwise obviously
