Hatton-Corrales is ON!?

[JUYJUY]

That's the problem.

I don't know if I agree with that. I think Castillo is just as strong as Hatton, if nor more so. It would be crazy to assume Hatton's chin is any better than Castillo's either.

Its just guesswork at this point.

Only one way to find out though

Hatton stronger than Castillo.

That's true (bold). We all know that JLC's chin was granite and Chico cracked it but there are just too many things weighing against Diego for me to think he'd win.

1.) Hatton is in his prime NOW, coming off a huge win against Tszyu.

2.) Hatton would be very motivated for this fight because of his desire to show that he can perform in America on our biggest stage.

3.) Corrales' power, while it will probably still be good at 140, is somewhat questionable at this weight.

4.) Corrales just fought Casa x2, Freitas, and JLC...he's probably pretty beat up. I think that Castillo fight took A LOT out of him.

I don't know about Hattons power in comparison to JLC's, but he seems to bull fighters around in the same manner. He's definitely sturdy and has a nice body attack that takes it out of you no matter what.

I guess the jury is still out on this fight though.

hmm

Hatton will destroy Corrales. Corrales has little chance of seeing the final bell, much less winning. He won't hurt Hatton. He will get very discouraged by Hatton, and fall around the 9th round (for good).

[The Fix]

hatton wins the fight, chico's chin is far from great and hattons power will severly test it. my prediction is hatton by late stoppage

[dino]

i think hatton is too strong for corrales

Corrales had the fight of his life last time out and need to pull out every trick he had. Dont forget he got planted twice and damn near showed the will of the gods to win that fight.

Hatton showed his dirty side and completely bullied the former King Pin Tzsyu around the ring for 11 rounds. At the end of the fight Hatton had enough engery to dance and jump around the ring.

Though Corrales win was more exciting he was less dominate, took more out of him, and showed more weakness. Add in Corrales's inhumane fight schedule he has been through and his step up in weight class, Hatton would be the betting favorite. I will not say Hatton is too much for Corrales at any time, but if they fight with in the next 12 months Ricky will stretch Corrales.

It aint questionable foos! Corrales WILL carry his power to 140lbs! He's been in 135lbs fo a while and is strugglin to make the limit. He'll be strong at 140lbs, almost definitely!

This is bull, Corrales needs to give Castillo the rematch.
I dont want to hear any excuses when he does fight Castillo.
If Hatton ko's him then Castillo wont get the props he deserves.
This fight is gonna be a war also and I dont Corrales can take the same punishment anymore.
Castillo and Corrales need to finish what got started.

I agree they have unfinished business, but I for one don't want to see them go at it again right away.

Morales and Barrera had unfinished business after their 1st fight, and waited a few years to get it on again.

Asking Chico and Castillo to get it on again this year would see them both kill a part of the other's career. It was too tough a fight.

Let them seperate a while and then rematch later.

An immediate rematch would almost gaurentee neither of them would ever be the same again.

Hatton will beat Corrales, i have no doubt in my mind.
