Now that Maidana has a jab, I reckon he'd take the fight comfortably.

He was cutting his teeth under Frank Warren most of that time. He's already said he's not coming back to take easy fights.

doesnt really matter when its all said and done, people look back at his record and correctly say his first 30 odd fights were against poor opposition to put it nicely. doesnt matter what the excuses are, hatton signed the contract.

A lot of people talk about how passionate and dedicated British fans are when they see news like this. But to me it's a real shame that Hatton vs TBA can sell so many tickets so quickly while other really good fights get very little interest from the general public.

I dunno, Floyd, Pac and arguably Collazo beat Hatton because of being able to land powerful counters and catch him coming in. Maidana could catch Hatton with something big and win that way, but I don't see his jab being the difference. Alexander did well punching and clinching against Maidana and I see prime Hatton doing the same and winning the fight on the inside.

I'd expect the current version of Hatton to get knocked out though.

maybe most of those people who bought the tickets just want to see hatton get knocked out again in person? you have to admit when he gets knocked out it's classic comedy, totally flattened for 5 minutes by Pac and turned into a pinball by Mayweather

Yea, I see the same thing happening with prime Hatton, he doesn't last long now with Maidana though.



I don't think Hatton vs TBA selling all those tickets is too bad, as Hatton was a superstar. However, the undercard of the Mitchell-Burns fight and the reluctance to match our fighters hard really hurts the sport over here.

Hatton has is own stable and rumours are Murray is going to be fighting on the under card in his biggest fight yet. I cannot stand seeing a card with one decent main event and the rest is full of prospect A vs TBA, prospect B vs TBA. Only for TBA to be replaced by a fighter with a record of 0-48 or 2-50, what good is that for a fighter?

I'm hoping Ricky provides serious opportunities for several of his fighters.

no shock


after all, there's still only one ricky hatton


the dude used to juice stadiums in goddamn las vegas

Maidana was much cruder before and didn't utilise his reach & height which would cause the T-Rex'd armed dwarf, Ricky Hatton, fits.

I think it allows him to deal with Hatton easier.

Tszyu had a good jab. I'd make Maidana favourite for the win now too however, if only because we're unsure as to how RH takes a big shot and Maidana would surely land at least one...

Fans need time to develop an affinity with any fighter, good promotion helps that.
