    Hobson Laughs Off Arum's Attack on Hatton

    Ricky Hatton’s co-promoter Dennis Hobson laughed off US rival Bob Arum’s statements that the Hitman should steer clear of his two star charges, WBO junior welterweight Miguel Cotto and former lightweight king Jose Luis Castillo. [details]

      Hatton is more of a swarmer than a power puncher. That fighting style is tailor made for fighters with power like Cotto or Castillo. He has a better chance against Cotto though since he has a suspect chin. But Castillo would be to much for him even though it would be an exciting fight.

          Nice slap-down on Cotto Hopefully Arum will put his fighters in there with Hatton then.

            Cotto has got a lot of power, I think he'd beat Hatton. Castillo was a big but not huge puncher at 135, and is unlikely to be as big a puncher at 140 IMO. A fight between Castillo and Hatton would be huge money and huge entertainment, plus it would be a close one to call.

            Both cut, both like it close, both get hit a lot. This would be a great fight!

              It's funny how he says that "he has the best thoroughbread in all the stables", LOL then stop making excuses for a P4P guy struggling with a good but not great fighter in Collazo. I can understand the close fight because of Collazzo's style, but not almost getting dropped in the last round. I doubt after the Collazo fight he feels he's the best.

                Arum would change his tune in a second if Hatton needed a new promoter.
