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

[Bushbaby]

Well to be honest,he does fit the criteria to get a shot at Pacman.Hasn't looked good in a while & coming off of a beatdown,yup perfect for the best fighter on the planet.

Schaefer saying that Hatton can beat any welterweight just goes to show you he doesnt know **** about boxing.

green!!!!!!!!

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.

He was outmatched, and could not get into the fight.

154 is not his happy place.

What do you know about Hatton NOW, that you did not know before that fight?

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.

True, but a gutsy effort to finish the fight on his feet.

The fact that he was fighting for a title at 154, was ridiculous.

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

No. He does not deserve a title shot, but he does deserve a chance at his natural weight. He should fight someone like Ortiz, for a shot at Berto. What has Ortiz done at 147, or anywhere for that matter, to deserve a shot at Berto?

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.

And a good suggestion it is, my suggestion was.....
" 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..... because, he is still the same WELTERWEIGHT that he was before he stepped in at 154 "

I just don't see the point in you dissing Hatton now, when you had a chance to diss Sulaiman for sanctioning that joke. Like I say, what do you know about Matt NOW, that you didn't know before the fight? He was outmatched.


Schaefer needs to give himself an uppercut for saying that Hatton could beat any welter, but he could make for an interesting fight at 147 against the middling guys.

Schaefer "Mathew Hatton has improved greatly over the past 12 to 14 months. We will make sure he becomes Welterweight Champion."

Yeah, sure..............by paying off refs like you all are used to doing!!
