Comments Thread For: Schaefer To Line Up Hatton For Major Welterweight Shot

[ThunderGatti26]

Based on what?

Considering 3 years ago his career was being written off to becoming the EBU Champion and defending it a few times and looking pretty good to moving up to LMW and facing the next big thing, yet stuck in for 12 rounds isn't to bad. And considering Hatton was brought in for Saul to look good and dispose of and didn't, he's earned the right to get a fight at WW.

Sure Hatton lost every round, I'm not dis*****g that but considering he was simply brought in to make Saul look good and (hopefully) get the KO and didn't give him someone at WW, as I said he's not world class but at least give the guy a crack at WW belt or one of the top guys, he's done all the right things since the Watson fight in May 2008.

No you're right Dan, Hatton doesn't deserve a shot, but Pacquiao deserves a 154 pound title at a 150 catchweight because he fought the best guys at 154 and earned the right to fight for that title.

Oh wait....

Do you watch this sport?

[wazaa.]

Matthew Hatton just lost every friggin single round against a prospect...

...and he can beat any welterweight out there now?

Oh wait....

I don't think Pacquiao and Margarito deserved to fight for the JMW title at a catchweight, but if you're comparing them to CANELO and HATTON's case, ****! At least Margarito has won three world champions, has fought at JMW before, and I don't even need to explain Manny. What has Canelo done to earn that title and especially a bum fighter like Hatton who is nowhere near the top of any list.

I agree. His 'Jr Middleweight' Title is ridiculous.

Why are you telling me this?

So based on the fact since he got dominated by Watson who was coming off a loss he has beaten some average fighters and got a draw with an average fighter and losing every single round against a 20 year old prospect he deserves a title shot?

How about he actually beats a top 10 fighter at 147 before he gets a title shot at 147? How about actually DO SOMETHING in your career before you get a title shot at 147?

You just said he's NOT world class, and your absolutely right. He is far from being close to world class. So why should a fighter who has shown time and time again he isn't world class get a title for a World title?

There is literally no logic in this argument at all.

What a load of bull****.

"We'll make sure he becomes a welterweight champion."

Obviously, promoters, HBO and the WBC are in it for the money. If a fighter can sell enough tickets and PPVs, he 'deserves' a title shot.
