Ricky Hatton vs Vivian Harris on May 13th

[Easy-E]

This is Hattons first fight in the U.S..
I'm sure you know that the casual fan doesn't know much about the Hitman. So maybe to you and me, but when it comes to dollars and cents, is it wise for Hatton/Mayweather to happen right away?
Honestly.

If Ricky is as good as he's supposed to be, he'll beat Vivian Harris and then step up a bit more in comp and win that fight as well. That puts him on the map for the showdown with Floyd Mayweather.

Ricky didn't fight Vivian directly after his loss to Maussa. He took care of business, got the belt from Carlos then is fighting Vicious Vivian.

I don't care how much you degrade him, fighters have bad nights. Should the same thing happen again, well he's not cracked up to what he was supposed to be. But I think he'll be more prepared this time around. I'm not saying he's going to win, but this isn't a cake-walk for Ricky.

if this fight happens, then no one should hate on floyd for figting zab, the better and more dangerous fighter than harris. thats what im trying to say.

floyd offered hatton a fight which he turned down. if hatton offered, any one of those guys would get out of their fight and fight hatton.

YUP! This is total Bull****! Why not give Baldomir a chance? Now Hatton is using the same excuse as floyd "pricing himself out"?

F'n Bald knows he only has 1 chance to BANK on giving someone a title shot of course he's going to want it all + some. And both guys could easily beat him wit 1 hand tied behind their back!

Well I guess Hatton's camp is taking the easy road to Floyd. Hope this shyt aint on PPV! That would be the ultimate slap in the face to boxing fans!

It's probably not going to be on PPV. THis fight is an investment to introduce Hatton to the USA. But a certain guy named Moussa already introduced America to Harris, so, you know

Vivian will hopefully prepare and fight smart, he had Maussa hurt but ran out of gas.

I agree that Vivian Harris is NO tune-up. It will be a decent fight and we can get a better standing on the type of fighter Ricky Hatton really is.

If this is no tune-up then he might as well fight Floyd for that matter. This proves my point all along. Hatton is taking the path of least resistance.

I don't know, last night I was upset about the choice but he does need some exposure here in the states before he takes on Mayweather if they want it to be a succesful PPV.

If he's looking for exposure, then Harris is the WRONG opponent. Harris has no fan base. Gatti would be the better fight in that regard.

Gatti moved up to 147.
