HATTON TO FACE URKAL ON DECEMBER 9?
By G. Leon

Moments ago Ricky Hatton's American promoter Artie Pelullo informed **********.com that the WBA welterweight champion will likely return to HBO on December 9 to face mandatory challenger Oktay Urkal at an undisclosed location in the United States. Pelullo also informed ********** that Team Mayweather recently "reached out" to him to discuss a possible Mayweather-Hatton bout, but according to Pelullo, "I have said to Al Haymon that we have a mandatory due with Oktay Urkal and that is what we intend to go forward with." More to follow, until then

Hatton would be a fool to take the Mayweather fight now, he needs time to grow into the welterweight division.

And, the fight needs to grow, too. Hatton's stock collapsed after Collazo fight.

Mayweather has always moved up through the weights, Hatton never has. Mayweather must have the structure to move up, while Hatton does not. In 1994 for example, Mayweather was at 106 and Hatton was at 139. Hatton has always been a light-welterweight, Mayweather has always moved through the weights.

And Mayweather started using weights in the gym for the first time ever a few years ago to build himself upto 140. Hatton's been using weights since he was 14.

Well, why not do it at 140?

These are illegitimate excuses. Period. People rip mayweather for this..and that..and this, yet Hatton gets a pass because he didint look good in his last fight? Come on.

EXACTLY!

Ask Mayweather..

i predict that hatton will fight urkal as the mandatory for the WBA and then vacate the WBA belt because Quintana will be the mandatory. hatton - castillo will happen sometime in 2007.

EXACTLY!

Ask Mayweather..

Thats ******ed. So essentially, Hatton wants to be in his comfort zone where he knows he can take people on, try to bully them about, but he cant move up 7lbs and take a fight at ****ing 147? You said yourself hes been at 139 while mayweather was at 106, so basically your saying that mayweather can adjust and move to 147, while hatton cant? Thats ******.
