Why isn't Hatton screaming for a Mayweather fight?

[Smokin']

Mr.Expert, since Mayweather looking for a fight with an opponent isn't calling out, then what is? Is there an offical definition for 'calling out'? If so, I would love to hear it.

I stand by what I said...in Floyd's own words he 'tried to get the fight' with Hatton before even Corley, he said it himself. Usually when someone 'tries to get a fight' he first calls the guy out and tries to get a contract.

If you're as ugly as you are ******, then you're in a world of hurt!

What's the deal here?

Before anyone from the obvious group of posters who are going to jump in with their nickers in a knot over this question, let me say I like and respect Hatton.

He's an exciting fighter and I think his move to the US and taking on someone he knew was a bad style match up was a good move and showed he's serious about being taken seriously.

But he's been half calling out Floyd since beating Tszyu, and that was a year ago. After beating Tszyu he wanted two more fights. Then it was "I'll fight him in 2006".

Before and after fighting Collazo he was talking about Maywether.

Now, Floyd has announced he's fighting Nov. 4th, and no opponent is set. Why isn't Hatton calling for this fight? We saw in the Collazo fight he could lose a fight if he stays at Welterweight. So could Floyd if the stars were alligned.

Why not jump at the chance to fight Floyd in November?

Brother brother brother, you seems to have missed a lot lately.

Yeah team Hatton was mentioning a posible fight with PBF before the Colazo fight but after Hatton's not so impressive performance at 147 it was them themselves who said that Hatton needs to settle at the weight class first before he'll be ready to fight PBF.

It was Team Hatton's real intention to feel and test 147 lbs weight class that's why they opted to challenge Collazo instead of defending his 140 lbs titles.

HYPING and HATING aside, that's a very smart move by team Hatton.

[-EX-]

Cuz Floyd would flatten Hatton's face. Hatton doesn't want Floyd.

sure taking you a while, Boozo.

instead of looking at it from ricky the fighter , look at it at ricky the buisines man
hes got a lucrative 3 fight deal with hbo.
hes already had 1 of them with luis collazo and had 2 remaining.
say he fights mayweather in hes 2nd hbo fight ,which should generate massive buyrates all over ther world,and looses pretty badly (like 90% of the scene members think) there aint gonna be no interest in hes 3rd fight which is been mapped out has hes biggest payday of hes carear.
so if he takes on floyd now and looses hes gonna lose out on 1 more biggish payday

why the heck do i care about the career savvy of a certain group of fighters? we are boxing fans and we shouldn't have to put up with this crap. we want the biggest fights out there.

this is how i see it and why i think so many people have a problem with hatton facing urkal next.

hatton only has a couple of years left and perhaps another 5 fights if he is to be believed. he is a big name now so belts like the WBA one that he currently holds are not THAT important - if hatton beats urkal he has to defend next fairly soon against joel julio or be stripped apparently. julio is young, unbeaten , naturally bigger and a ****er. if he was the mandatory instead of the 36 year old Urkal would team ricky be so determined to hang onto the WBA Belt? - i have serious doubts.

hatton will fight and beat the 36 year old urkal then conveniently side step the young, hungry, unbeaten julio by then abdicating the WBA belt and facing the gatti/baldomir winner instead. hatton is taking an easy, safe option in urkal who is very old for a welterweight and doesn't hit hard. it is like his WBU days all over again - taking safe fights - that is why he is 41-0 because he has had very few fights that could be deemed competitive when they were made. He has had all these routine fights before when WBU champ - he is supposed to be entering the final fights of his career. he needs to try and make big fights - that is what he said when he beat tszyu. nut since tszyu we have had maussa, collazo,now urkal(who has lost to harris and tszyu)and then most probably gatti(who has had many a savage beating). the first 3 names are virtual no names and gatti fits the profile of the usual hatton opponent (except tszyu) - in his 30's, looking shopworn and nowhere near his prime. gatti got the beating of his life last year by mayweather for god's sake.

i would not have a problem with hatton facing urkal if he was a young, up and coming champion. but, he has had these types of fights for years when he was WBU Champ fighting mid to late 30's guys like oliveira and phillips etc. ricky is only 5 fights from retirement apparently. why not try and make a match that gets the juices flowing? try and entice mosley - shane would love to fight him . fight witter if junior wins the WBC crown - at least witter is hungry and it would be a grudge fight that would interest a lot of people. hatton does not need a belt - barrera didn't need one for years. like i said if hatton was being pressured into defending against julio and not urkal then i think his camp would be singing a different tune - the WBA Belt would probably not seem so important then.

he aint screamin cause he got strep throat

[Bozo_no no]

It's funny how you don't even know what it is you were talking about anymore. Let's review:

You're not getting my point. When Floyd is wanting 70-30 because of this ****** 'I'm p4p baby!' then there is a problem. Yes, Hatton NEEDS Mayweather for his legacy but he does not want to get ***ed out of money either, especially how he unifed 140 and was the top dog and Mayweather moved up in weight to fight feather fisted (and a 140 lber) Sharmba.

Remember how you mentioned all this talk of purse spilts, people asked you where you got it from, and you went back to exclusively trolling because you had no answer?

do you not understand? When you are the top dog at a certain weight you should be the one making demands on the money split, not the other way around. Doofus.

Remember this gem? About how Floyd's at 147, Hatton just moved up there with the said intention of chasing Floyd, and how that has nothing to do with 140? Once again, you had no reply and went back to trolling.

Mr.Expert, since Mayweather looking for a fight with an opponent isn't calling out, then what is? Is there an offical definition for 'calling out'? If so, I would love to hear it.

Calling someone out is what Margarito's doing with Floyd right now. It's demanding a fight by making claims and offers through the media. Before fighting Tszyu, Hatton was not a marquee fighter. He offered Hatton's camp a chance to be his opponent the same way he did to Corley at the time. Was he calling Corley out?

See what happens when you try to get caught up in something that has NOTHING to do with the non sense you were saying in the begining?

But once again, if we look far enough back we see the begining was trolling with no comments on the topic. That's because you're a trolling little ***** who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yawn

[phil28]

He was not a marquee fight for Mayweather at ALL at that point.

Did you miss the part about Hatton's camp not feeling they were ready for the fight at that point? But then they were for Tszyu?

It's funny how in your desperation your focus will drift. It must suck being that dumb.

Also funny how Olivera was a positive win for Hatton when a few weeks ago you told me he was a poor opponent.

You should look at going into stand up instead of some blue collar job.

Tut tut. Think about it.

You've had 38 fights and won them all, picked up the worthless WBU trinklet along the way and you now have two options:

1. Fight Tszyu, the 140lb king, and finally realise your dream of becoming a legit world champ if you win.

2. Fight PBF who's just moved up to 140.

This was prior to the Gatti fight, so PBF brings nothing to the table for Hatton, other than a high risk, low reward fight.

Would you seriously go with option 2? I didn't think so.
