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

[LeadUppercut]

berto should be facing cintron or mike jones.

Good point. That could be a good fight, Cintron as well.

Based on what?

In the article, they said it was for his gutsy showing, and so that he could fight at his natural weight.

It is ridiculous for you guys to be dissing Hatton.

He is still the same WELTERWEIGHT that he was before he stepped in at 154. The only people that have the right to diss Hatton, are the ones who personally e-mailed Sulaiman before the fight to register their disgust.

If you weren't worried then, it's too late - and irrelevant - now.

IMHO, he deserves a chance at welter.

My only arguement would be that he should have to fight an eliminator first.

So we see Broner get beat by Ponce De Leon and one judge scores it a landslide victory for Broner, and Hatton getting a shot is what is wrong with boxing?

Give me a break. Boxing is all about politics and corruption. Hatton proved to be a fan friendly fighter as he came to fight, never stopped coming forward and threw punches.

That is what should be rewarded and I think that he will put on a hell of a show in a big welterweight fight.

Boxing isn't always about who is the best, because a lot of times the greatest fighters never have good enough management to make it big, that's why we have guys like Andre Berto, David Lemieux, Devon Alexander, Tim Bradley and a whole slew of guys who couldn't hold a candle to the past all time greats, yet they are what we're forced to watch.

Gimme a break with "This is what's wrong with boxing." Broner winning a decision over Broner is what's wrong with boxing. Manny and Floyd not fighting is what's wrong with boxing. Arum cheating history is what's wrong with boxing. 20 vacant titles going to fighters who haven't proven themselves is what's wrong with boxing.

I can't believe that after the guts and show he put on for the crowd Saturday night, people would say that him getting a shot is what's wrong with boxing. The guy worked and fought his heart out and for being outclassed and HEAVILY outweighed by a bigger, younger guy, FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHT WITH WHAT HE HAD TO WORK WITH.

Good Post bro.

sometimes a loss can make a fighter better, hatton proved he is worthy of a world class stage , he has an incredible chin , he took on a proven ko punching 154lb + guy and wasnt even shaken, you cannot train to have a chin its something you either have or dont. all he needs is to crank up his offense, with a good trainer and hell do very well.the chin and defense sometimes you cant teach that, look at pacyow he gets hit with bombs his defense sux, ate 227 punches the last fight. good luck to matt hatton.

Yes, thats the same Welterweight who has done nothing in his entire career on a world level. Matthew Hatton has done nothing in his career to suggest he deserves a title show. Getting beaten up and losing every round against a 20 year old prospect doesn't mean you deserve a title shot.

I was worried then, worried for his health. I stated on numerous occasions the fight is ridiculous. Matthew Hatton is out of his league fighting against above average fighters. Let alone World title shots.

In your opinion he deserves a title shot? Explain what he's done to deserve a title shot please.

Yes, he should fight an eliminator....maybe he could fight some Top 10 ranked fighters at 147 while he's at it. You know, beat someone that means something? Before he gets a title shot there? Just a suggestion.

If it's something you have or you don't what happened to Matthew Hatton's 'incredible' chin when he got stopped by the brutal punching 4-6 David Kier in 2 rounds?

Explain how he proved he is worthy of a world class stage please.
