    Please Hatton?

    Your hearing his name about fighting a bunch of different guys. Some are "who cares" type of fights and some are "you cant miss this" type of fights.

    If hes coming to the states then he should come with a **** and let it be know how good he is and that hes here to kick butt. I have a feeling that he will end up fighting one of the "who cares" fights with a guy like Bladomire or the other no name champ because they will probally be cautious with is 1st fight in the US and they havent shown to want to fight the best anyways besides Tsyzu but if he does fight the other guys then it will be something that I will pay to see.

    These are mouth watering fights. I just heard he could fight Margarito. I dont believe it but if he did then it would be big. Gatti would be big, Freitas would be big, and Cotto would be big. Please fight one of these guys. You know it would be a Fight of the Year Canidate with any of them.

    Come with the **** like the Prince did with Kevin Kelly. Thats how you get instant respect in the US

    first, hatton and/or his team denied any attempt to get kostya for a rematch, which would be huge here in the U.S. amongst fight fans.

    that alone means something, especially when offered a rematch with potential good earnings.

    baldomir wouldn't be too bad of a fight, but fighting tszyu again in a NEUTRAL country would be a great idea and solidify any of his ranking issues.

      Tszyu would be ok too but it wouldnt sell like those other ones except for maybe Margarito but that fight is so enticing that everyone would probally rather see that instead of a guy in Tszyu that you dont know if hes done or not. Just to see littile Hatton against big Margarito makes my mouth water just thinking about how great and action packed that fight would be but I wouldnt mine Tszyu either.

      Your right about the Bladomir fight not being that bad but compared to those others, its real bad

      Look, Im past the "start Daniels" thing because I know thats not going to happened and Caron is playing well but we still have to help Gil out. He has the ball way too much.

      I made a thread on here the other day saying how I was watching a tape of our playoff games with the Bulls last year and one thing I noticed that we missed about Hughes was his play making skills and the ability to create offense for other. This year the only one we have that can do that is Gil and sometimes Daniels but hes not going to play all that much and alot of times when he does play, EJ still keeps Gil at the point for some reason that I still cant understand.

      Anyways if you watched the game last night, didnt everything seem kind of hard for Gil? He has to do to much. He has to run the point and have the ball in his hands almost full time, while at the same time being our go to scorer. It wasnt that bad last year because Hughes could handle the ball and take the pressure off Gil and this allowed him to rest some and play without the ball alot. Caron is not capable of doing that because he cant handle the ball that well. JJ is not Larry Hughes but he still handles the ball well enough. We have him playing the 2 now but we still dont let him do enough. Let him take some pressure off Gil and run the O more and bring the ball up the court more.

      Earlier in the year even Gil was talking about how it was much harder for him to score this year. Remember last year when Larry got hurt and Gil just took over. He played great but didnt we all talk about how it looks like this is killing him and he has to handle the ball now all the time and score. It looks the same now. Thats why he doesnt really shoot great percentages anymore. I actually kind of understand why he sucks on D now. You cant play great D when you have the ball so much on offense and have to do everything. He has to rest on defense.

      We play in a super fast offense. One of the top 5 uptempo teams in the league and he is a PG on that up and down offense but averages 28 a game. You know he will get worn out if someone in that starting lineup doesnt handle the ball more. The bottom line for me is that I think you will see a totally different Gil with him at the 2 and you will see a better Gil with him at the 1 but someone handling the ball more.

          I would love too but I dont think I would want to see it more then those other fights because Ive already seen it and Tszyu maybe old. If Hatton beats Tsyzu again then it will be impressive but how impressive? Alot of people will say that its no big deal and Tszyu is old or whatever. However if Hatton beats those other guys then he will be one of the biggest names in the sport and everyone will have to take notice and give this man his props.

            Margarito seesm unlikely,and i dont really want to see either gatti or freitas(really whats the appeal in those,hatton is at least in my mind,a clear favorite) A castillo or cotto fight and of course a mayweather fight would be what i would like to see,even a corrales fight.

              dlt, definitely feel ya bro. a lot of people say tszyu is a bit old and weathered considering his great am and legendary pro career, but if kt does have some juice left in him, i would not like to be the person he takes his last fights' frustrations out on. also have to remember that the intentional low blow did take quit a bit ot of kt since it was in the later half of the fight - by wich he was down on the cards by only a point.

              getting on to gatti, i think it would be fun, but no ppv or big dollars for hatton. i saw hatton's last fight and wasn't quit impressed. still, i do think he stands a great chance at beating gatti. freitas and cotto might be more interesting though. i guess i still wish he had the guts to fight kt again.

                You wouldnt like to see Gatti or Freitas? Even if Hatton wins those guys will still get there fair amount of shots in and it would be very exciting. E****ally if Gatti and Freitas abandon this new ****** boxing style they have and go back to brawling which I think Hatton will make them do with all the pressure he puts on them

                  Freitas has a far more intresting matchup with Raheem,and Id rather see gatti with the likes of Baldomir.I dont get the appeal in a hatton fight against those guys,even IF it was a brawl,so what? They would get beat by the younger fighter all that much quicker.

                  Hatton v Cotto/Mayweather/Castillo/ and even corrales is what i want to see.Too many good matchups there to scrap those for Gatti/Freitas.
