Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Turns Down Marquez/Morales Fights

[MOTHER DUCKER]

HAHAHAHHA! ur a joke. yeah he'll beat a washed up morales but he CANT beat marquez at all. period. hatton had 2 rounds of pac and that was enough. marquez has heart and guts, he'll outbox hatton and probably tko his ass. hatton aint got shat left in him.

ur boxing knowledge =

Rofl please like i said Marquez was having trouble with Casa/Diaz at 135 and was clearly unable to function well over 140+. An that is my point Hatton is a better pressure fighter then Diaz and the fight would take place at 147 well OVER Marquez best weight (about 4 weight classes arguably). + Marquez is also freaking old now must be 37-38?? and on his way out..

If Hatton has anything left and it took place at 147 he wins imo

Both The Guardian and The Manchester Evening News have reported that former undisputed light-welterweight champion of the world Ricky ‘The Hitman’ Hatton has turned down a two-fight Mexican finale that would have seen him take on Erik Morales, who recently won a vacant WBC welterweight title comeback fight against the modest Jose Alfaro, and lightweight kingpin Juan Manuel Marquez.

dam ricky is losing confidence. please dont follow gayweathers lead by cherrypickin boxers. i guess its really time to retire if youre gonna do so.

Ricky should tell Golden Boy to **** off. Why should he fight Morales, who is shot and way past it and Marquez, who is much smaller and on the slide. Golden Boy should have more respect for a top champion like Ricky Hatton.

[jrosales13]

Well he faces Morales first mate i think even Hatton is less shot then him lol

As for JJM it would probably be at 147 or Catchweight and JJM is not really effective over 135 and is older then Hatton. Diaz gave Marquez fits for a bit and is a pitty pat puncher and not near as good pressure fighter as Hatton. But that's just my opinion depends on how much Ricky has left but he has had a long rest.

Co-sign........

The same Marquez that got rocked by a pitty pat puncher Diaz? I'd think Hatton would do better than Diaz...

Yep Hatton has decent pop and is a bit better then Diaz but the main factor for me is that Marquez is probably best at 130 and 147 is 3 weights up.. So idk why people laughing at me suggesting Hatton would most likely win

I think facing these 2 would be cherry picking tbh.. 2 mexican legends who i think he beats (good way to end his career). One of them is completely gone (Morales) and Marquez would be 37 or so fighting 4 weights up from his best weight.

Pitty pat or not Diaz is a young, fresher, and more skilled boxer than Hatton no matter what the diffrence in punching power might be.

Diaz at leasts moves his head and works behind a jab plus he's not coming off a year plus lay off.

[Hi-Dro]

That's great news


JMM doesn't belong above 135...heck he got rocked by Diaz...what would Hatton do.

Morales is past his prime, and looked bloated, and chubby in his WW fight. He should think about retirement to, or go to JWW, because WW is clearly not for him.

The good thing about this, as another poster previously stated is that now we know who Alfonso Gomez is fighting lol

Erik Morales & Juan Manuel Marquez will beat Ricky Hatton easy

I'm surprised he would turn down Morales. Thats a winnable fight for him. I'd actually be scared for Morales

[Bushidō]

Morales should try to get to 135. He looks way too flabby for 147
