Why are some of the elite welters targetting Hatton?

[Joe2608]

naw that aint right..if he takes his beating he should get respect right??

If he takes a beating and comes back and wins then yes he deserves respect. But he will get beaten by all the elite Welters imo. He is a weird one, he can't fight at 140 anymore because there is just nobody there to fight really, and he just doesn't belong at Welter because he isn't big or powerful enough.

Oh yeah, he is a tough man.

**** i think floyd had to retire after fighting him..he probally shattered his hands on his head..lol..hattons a tough s.o.b st8 up no 1 walks thru this guy even tho he's limited..imo that makes him even more impressive..short arms,1 dimintional..but he's made it this far offa ...st8 up balls

Yeah, but I think it will be his downfall again like it was with Floyd. Even with a new trainer, I think Hatton will still be forced to brawl with Pacquiao. I don't think he can outbox Pacquiao. Considering his problem with cuts in the past, I could imagine Pacquiao cutting him up and the fight getting stopped.

hattons better try and get him out early(which is doubtful)it'll be a great fight..but im not betting on it

Nah I don't think so, he was bruised/swollen around his eye after 1 round, but I dont think he was cut.
I like Hatton, every boxer says they'll fight anyone, anywhere. Hatton is one of the very few who actually do it. He'd have no problem fighting Cotto. And by that I mean he'd fight him with no hestitation - he'd have plenty of problems in the ring!
Hope he finds a way to beat Pac. I'd love to see JMM v Hatton
