Oscar De La Hoya: "I Won't Fight Ricky Hatton"

[TCNŽ SOULJAH]

LOL...I didnt know why Hatton's trainer didnt change their bodyshot strategy after watching PBF on the 24/7 show, He basically showed how to nullify Hattons wide-bodyshot then countering him with the right.

Roger was throwing the bodyshots at Floyd but he was blocking them with his elbow while countering roger with the right hand at the same time.

Floyd: "Throw me another one of those Ricky Hatton hooks!"

its oscar's humble way of saying he won't fight a mismatch.

Silly fight anyway!!! Hatton has already said he isnt at his best when he moves up and dlh cant make it down so why bother!!!

Last year, Oscar De La Hoya had his eye set on a possible fight with Ricky Hatton in 2008. He was making it known in public interviews that he wanted Hatton to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. last December to set up a possible fight between them in 08. Since the December fight, De La Hoya has signed Hatton to his promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions. Now De La Hoya rules out the fight because "he's a naturally bigger guy in a higher weight class." Isn't that why experts blasted De La Hoya's fight with Steve Forbes? Last year Hatton was a free agent, this year he is the future cash cow of Golden Boy and De La Hoya has to protect his investment. [details]

I REALLY dont think oscar can make 140...not anymore...he's too past his prime...

however im glad to hear he wants a p4p opponent after mayweather...

shows he's going to give the fans a good final fight.

Oscar would beat Hatton but it wont be a massacre, that's just going over the top.

It would actually because Hatton is there to bit and Oscar is quicker than Lazcano so Ricky would get hit clean harder than he ever has , Oscar KO early rounds , he is just too big and has too many skills and power for a walkup small fighter like Hatton , massacre for sure .

If Oscar can make 147 easily, why isn't he fighting Mayweather for his welterweight title?

MAYWEATHER DOESN'T HAVE HIS TITTLE ANYMORE

MAYWEATHER DOESN'T HAVE HIS TITTLE ANYMORE

Well Technically he does, he is still the recognized WW champ
WBC is just an alphabelt title, anyone that wins that strap will merely just be holding a paper title
i.e. Joe being LHW champ with no official title

hatton is gonna bring in a lot of cash @ 140 and those are his plans along with golden boy, hatton is a special fighter who has a huge fan base.....
there are a lot of fights for hatton @ 140lbs such as

hatton vs pacquiao
hatton vs casamayor
hatton vs torres
hatton vs holt.....those are good fights for him
