Tszyu Bout Could Be Hatton's Final Shot

[m00ks]

No, the best opposition Hatton could get will be in the UK come June. Its about the fighters not the location.

i'll never understand why so many Americans complain if a fights not in their back yard

None of the fighters are american and neither am I!

Hey big **** - witters coming to kick some ass

Wake me up when Witter fights someone in the world top 100.

And while your there SUCK MY ****!!

Well you've been awake since June 2000 then big boy, no wonder your rubbing your **** so frantically.......must be lack of sleep.

In all seriousness though this June will produce an excellent fight either way and i'm putting in the overtime now to get those tickets, it's about time we had a big meaningful fight over here.
Junior should try to get Harris, what do you reckon tittylicious, two avoided dangerous fighters

Maybe your not but there is an ego problem with most who think all fights should happen in the US.

The only good reason for a fight in a certain location is money, the invention of TV should have solved this location problem long ago.

Why do you think it should be in the US?

Just to add my 2 penneth I think Witter Harris would be a great fight. Just out of interest seeing as you are from Notts TheIron One, what do you think about the Froch situation at the moment (I'm originally from Derby, now based in San Francisco, but like to see the East Midlands lads doing well)

Should be a good night, i hope Hatton can handle Tszyu's power because it could be a great fight! I'm ordering my tickets ASAP.

Witters a lame ass, i hate him out of the ring but it would cool if he did well in it, shame he wont fight anyone. Whens the Branco fight??

Witter vs Harris - the most avoided boxers around, not by the fighters but the fans! LOL!



I'd seriously love to see Witter vs Harris, then we could see how good he really is.

Well just my opinion. Like you said the main reason is money, money, money. Now with money comes fame and recognition. The US is where the world's best compete. I also find that's it's neutral territory. I mean Hatton's used to having thousands of cheering fans chanting his name during his bout. How would he handle the jeers? How would he handle the pressure? I'm not saying he can't but I do feel that it's time he left home and try to conquer NA. I'm not saying anything bad about the judging in England but I can symphatize with the fighters who are reluctant to travel and fight Ricky in his backyard. He's gotta leave home at some point right? I mean I hope he doesn't expect to finish the remainder of his career back at home and expect solid competition like Mayweather, Cotto, Gatti, Harris to ALL travel to England whenever he wants to fight a big name fight. People have made sacrifices in the past and he shouln't be an exception.

Taht's only my opinion. How about you? Why do you think it should be in England?

The way i see it is Hattons just as human as the rest of us, he's got a family to feed and if he can make more money at home then thats what he should do.

I dont know how many fans would watch him in the US(or anywhere outside the UK) but i'd like to please my own fans more than anyone else. Thats my opinion and i'm the type of person who would like beat the home fighter in his back yard, i'd enjoy the hate.

Hattons a weird situation, its not often a fighter can make a lot more by avoiding the US travel, i'm sure he'd love to fight there again but only for the right reason.

Eastmans in the same situation as Hatton, there both fighting the champ but its obvious that Eastman has to travel to the US because thats were the money is. I think Hatton should travel anywhere Tszyu wants the fight but it make more sense to have it in the UK. Tszyu first said no way to the Manchester fight but money talks.

For big **** : The branco fight is soon, that should show us a bit about Witter then onto Harris with a bit of luck!!

Dunc - Yeh mate from near Notts,I think Frochs good, would kick Magees ass and he (M) knows it thats why he's avoiding him making out he's going for the euro title, he would get alot better money fighting Carl in nottingham for the british and common, prob more respect too if he pulled it off.
Froch will come a cropper soon with that lazy left but not til he steps up alot more. Hope he's got a very good chin. I think he's coming along nicely, couple more defences get the euro, then get two or three good high class international bouts (10 rounders please not tesco belts) over the next couple of years then we'll see what he's made of, hopefully be in a similar position to Eastman now (but not have to wait for a legit shot)

I think Witter could destroy Branco, he looked pretty bad against Gatti and if Witter gets this right its a claim to a title shot. I cant believe Witter could get a title shot by beating chumps, whats wrong with boxing

Frochs a decent fighter, he was full of **** for asking Calzaghe for a fight but at least he's got balls. I think he could beat Magee and maybe even Reid now, i just hope he learns to hold his hands abit higher because that style suits him better. I have a feeling he's going to be another wasted talent, hopefuly he'll get hungry after spending time with Eastman in the US, Hopefuly he'll become a solid pro.
