Why isn't Hatton being bashed for fighting Baldy??

[Manny_P]

good question!

Hatton really needs to step it up. Baldomir aint in the level of Cotto, Judah and especially Weather. Baldomir is just like Maussa WHO HAPPENED to won a belt/belts, but really everyone knows aren't top dawgs.

Are you serious?!? Mayweather takes on the man that lost to Baldomir, whilst Hatton is taking on the true number 1 WORLD CHAMPION in the welterweight division. Like it or not, if Hatton wins this fight he will become a legitimate two weight WORLD CHAMPION not a belt holder like Mayweather. I'd love to see the Mayweather or Cotto fight first, but Baldomir has proven himself by beating Zab Judah. He was the better fighter, and Mayweather should have been chasing Baldomir and NOT Judah. Hatton deserves credit for taking one of the hardest fights available to him. Let's not forget, Mayweather has shown NO interest in fighting Hatton whatsoever. He has been chasing loser Judah as he knows it is an easy fight for loads of money.
