A look at Hatton's resume!

[Ray*]

hatton ducked cotto. End of story

Trampler revealed for the first time that Top Rank had been trying to make a Hatton-Cotto fight happen at junior welterweight.

"For the last two years, Cotto has been willing to fight Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton at what ever weight," Trampler said. "Get this straight: Cotto ducks nobody. Here's a scoop for you: there were numerous discussions with the Hatton people, but Ricky went up to 147 and then came back down. Miguel is staying at welterweight. But Hatton knows where to find Cotto when he wants to get it on.

He avoid Cotto when Cotto was the WBO champ and he ducked Witter when witter finally won the WBC belt something his fanatics alway like to sweep under the carpet.

Floyd didn't steer clear of Tszyu at all. He wanted that fight.

Nothing at all like Hagler-Leonard.

Tszyu was very inactive and very injury prone, fact.

It was a good win but these are facts.

Floyd was willing to fight bruscles in an eliminator to get to gatti... Im not saying that floyd was ducking him, just that he vocally was calling out gatti, i think even since the corley fight... I do think floyd would have fought tszyu had tsyzu gotten past hatton, but he was def not his first target when he hit 140..

very much like hagler,, not so much ray,, but an aging inactive champ... 85-87 hagler had 3 fights, just like tzsyu from 03-05

injury prone in camp, yes,,, I'm not saying kosta was an ironman, but when ready and healthy, he was still dominant in the ring....

What if Floyd and Hatton fought at 140?

What if Floyd and Hatton fought at 140?

KO by ring post probably in the 10th round.

Yes it was his first target.

He wanted Tszyu, once it became evident it wasn't going to happen. He fought Gatti.

It's nothing at all like Hagler. Tszyu was riddled with injuries at that point.

Gatti was a fight that Arum had lined up for Mayweather for a while, due to Gatti status and who can blame him? Tsyzu was still going through his injury problems on top of that he had Sharmba and Hatton already waiting for their title shots, remember Tsyzu belts were taken away from him due to his long term injuries.

I had Collazo beating Hatton.

thats fair,, i thought the early knockdown swayed it towards hatton

razor thin decision, not a robbery, but can totally see how people score it for collazo

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Yes it was his first target.

It's nothing at all like Hagler. Tszyu was riddled with injuries at that point.

how active was hagler,,, 85 hearns, 86 mugabi, 87 leonard...

maybe the injuries were different but activity was the same


floyd targeted gatti from the get-go....Smart business move, but lets not act like floyd targets the toughest hombre every time

all you say is correct...


My whole point is that people crap all over hatton's resume and the tszyu win, and that is just not fair or accurate

[FrenchDeLaHoya]

the only person that considers hatton elite is floyd jr

its sad that this was floyds best win. lol
