Harris Calls Out Hatton at 140 or 147!!!!!!!

[amagnin]

Stop contradicting yourself. Floyd has no obligation to satisfy your needs by mentioning Margartio. The fact is that Floyd has always said the same thing about Margartio but Hatton looks like a fool by saying that he would fight the winner of Castillo-Chico and then wanting nothing to do with Chico. Why do you keep bringing up Casamayor when that fight was just made a few days ago and the Chico-Castillo thing was a long time ago. Obviously Hatton had no intentions on fighting him

You guys talk about Hatton like he has done so much and has looked so dominant. You guys diss elite fighters and then brag on Margarito who has not 1 good win and on Hatton who only has 1 and that was against a 35 year old who had basically just been off for 2 years and it was in England. Alot of people think he just lost his last fight and you guys are going to act like he is untouchable. Please. Harris doesnt have a punchers chance. He has a legitimate chance and would win

You're all mixed up. Hatton said he wanted to fight the winner of that fight but there was no winner. Chico expressed no interest in moving up in weight as he had no problem making 135. Regardless of what he said on FNF, he wants a rematch with Casamayor because some people think he lost the 2nd fight. Chico is a proud fighter and wants to right that. Hatton still has plenty of time to fight Chico IF and WHEN he moves up. Hatton owns 2 good wins in the last year against a solid champ and against a title holder that nobody really wants to face. Take it from me, Floyd is my favorite boxer, Hatton took a tougher test for his first fight at WW and deserves his respect for that. Sure he didn't look impressive but you can't win every fight easily especially against good opposition. Margarito is a different story. He may not have beaten elite competition but that is not his fault entirely. Judah and Mosley and Mayweather have turned him down. He beat Andrew Lewis who was champ (yes he lost to Mayorga I know) and he beat Cintron who everybody liked before the fight. Margarito has crushed all opposition willing to face him (calling somebody out doesn't qualify). Losing to Daniel Santos at 154 was not indicative of anything except that Margarito is better at 147. He was coming on in the fight and I think would have stopped Santos if not for a headbutt. I try to treat all fighters the same and criticize when they deserve criticism and praise when they deserve praise. This all being said... Harris is so overrated its not even funny. The man has lost to both Olivera and Maussa and drew with Ivan Robinson. Who has he beaten if you're going to talk about Margarito?

I picked Harris by KO. My reasons: 1-During the fight with Johnston I noticed how fast Harris hands are. He's very quck & can land that right hand in close quarters without needing the spacing like Zu does. 2-He's an under rated counter puncher & if he lands he can hurt you & he punches in combination. If he fights like he did early against Johnston he'll stop Hatton because he fought ecomnomically. He didn't waste punches & used his jab very well. Collazo showed that if you jab Hatton & punch in combination you can outbox or frustrate him. And I believe that Harris punches harder than Collazo.

Zu was king at 140....undisputed period.

Floyd hasnt doesnt that since 135....he is at 147 still not doing it.

Oh and Zu ko'd zab in the 2nd round, that more than Floyd did.

but Zab won an easy 1st round and got lax, his athletic ability and talent was far superior than Kostya, just so happens Zab greatest strenght is his greatest weakness.

Haven't read all the thread, but has anyone mentioned yet how Harris was offered a substantial (ISTR career-highest) sum to fight Hatton back when Hatton wasn't such a name?

Harris pulled out at the last minute, leaving Ricky in the wildnerness for a bit longer until Costa Zoo took up the call.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton turned him down now their fortunes are reversed...

[Guest]

Oh, Hatton KO btw. Easily.

What the ****? I don't understand DLT's logic. You said: "Stop contradicting yourself. Floyd has no obligation to satisfy your needs by mentioning Margartio. The fact is that Floyd has always said the same thing about Margartio but Hatton looks like a fool by saying that he would fight the winner of Castillo-Chico and then wanting nothing to do with Chico. " Maybe because they haven't fought for a 3rd time yet, dip****.

Harris/Sharmba Mitchell already clearly ducked Hatton a little while ago. Hatton is in the better position now...he's got a 3 fight deal with HBO and he's a big star now. He won't fight Harris unless it's like a HUGE split in his favour because that's just how boxing works. Harris never fought him before when Hatton needed him and now the situation is reversed. Hatton is going to bail and for good reason.

[FeelTheA-Force]

Might as well call him out, Hatton will dodge him too. Now Hatton IS ducking quality opponents. He said he would give Collazo a rematch and not has backed out.

he beat him he dont have to do ****. plus contracts speak more than words

Yeah, if I was Hatton, I'd say screw him. Harris had the offer on the table and didn't come to England, so Hatton waited it out and got Kostya Tszyu to come, which made Harris look like a wuss. Now Hatton is in the driver's seat and Harris doesn't even have his belt. Harris is in no position to be calling Hatton out now when he already turned the fight down in 2004.

[Smokin']

Exactly, Diego my friend. That's just how boxing works. When negotiating it's about ego too. Alot of people forget that ****.

Hatton would knock Harris out in about 8 rounds anyway.

Tszyu was linear champ, but was not undisputed in any way, shape or form.

And the this fighter beat this fighter so this fighter will lose to this fighter **** doesnt work.
Go watch some boxing or read some boxing books, becaues you have no idea what your talking about.
