Do you think Hatton's Scared/Fearful/Overly Cautious of Fighting Floyd?

[BLOODSHED]

He has more professional fights and is asking for tune ups. Remember Hatton was talking about immediately fighting him before seeing Floyd whoop Gatti in person?

[wmute]

no, I don't think so.

he knows and acknowledges that floyd is the toughest opponent out there.

For god's sake man... get another obsession.

[mic573]

Yes but I also think Mayweather is just as scared, fearful or overly cautious of fighting Hatton.

I think they both know that it's a tough fight or they would of made it by now.

[Manny_P]

yea, it's really unneccessary fo hatton to be askin fo 2 tune-ups befo stepping it up. He's already beaten Tszyu. His skills is up there. I don't know what's the purpose of fighting guys like Maussa, or Baldomir. When hataz are hatin on Floyd becuz he only fights title holders, Hatton is practically doin the samething, IF NOT WORSE.

Zab Judah, Arturro Gatti > Baldomir, Maussa.

Manny, Baldomir beat Judah in his last fight (almost KOed him) yet Mayweather is still fighting him. Let's look at the past 3 fights for the dweebs like Manny who who have slim-to-nil in boxing knowledge.
Hatton: Zoo (many considered him one of the best 140 lber ever, and top 5 p4p at the time)
Maussa (KOed Vivian Harris and was giving Cotto a tough fight until he got TKOed on cuts. Over 300 amateur fights with a tricky, awkward style).
Baldomir (almost KOed Judah, and UD'd him)
Mayweather: Gatti (has a title fight ever been as overmatched as this one?!)
Judah (lost to Baldomir...)
Mitchell (got KOed by Zoo)

****** or ******ed? Which one is it?

[Manny_P]

like I said, Hatton is doing what Floyd is being criticised for.

Stop wit the biased wit Ricky Hatton already. Hatton DOES NOT need 2 tune-ups when he's already beaten a guy like Kostya Tszyu. It's evident that Hatton is just aiming fo the belts anyways. Otherwise, he woulda fought the bigger names like Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather.

and don't forget, Hatton dint even have the intention of goin up to 147lbs, UNTIL Baldomir caught a unfocused/distracte Judah, AND WON those titles. Hatton is aiming fo meaningless fights! He wants ONLY the belts now. He don't need no tune ups. And the excuse that, "hatton needs to get suited in U.S.A" is ridiculous.

I don't think when you are at such a high level(Hatton, Cotto, Mayweather, Castillo, etc.) any boxer is afraid of another one. Yeah, if you are undefeated you don't want to loose your perfect record but you don't fear the other guy.

Dude... without prejudice...do you really believe Cotto is #1 P4P?

Not yet, he hasn't beaten one of the top guys, I'm just a big fan of his.
