charlie had a bad choice of words. Tszyu was BASICALLY undisputed but he had to vacate all of his titles except for the WBC (I believe) because he had so many injuries. He was the lineal champ and "The Man" at 140.
Harris Calls Out Hatton at 140 or 147!!!!!!!

Id turn down the offer to go to England when YOUR the champ to get less of the purse.Originally posted by DiegoFuegoYeah, 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.
That was a bull**** offer by Ricky.
You dont make champs come to your hometown and give them 40% of the purse.
Lucky for Ricky, Tszyu came to England for some reason, and well..you guys know the rest.Comment

Hatton offered the champion the lesser purse AND wanted the fight to take place in his backyard.Originally posted by Smokin'LOL. It was a crazy offer considering it was Harris' biggest payday yet...Harris said he would fight Hatton for 80,000 and Hatton offered him 500,000.Comment

Harris was one dimensional in both the Maussa and Johnston fights. He was purely looking to time and land a big right hand. The feather fisted Johnson even had him wobbily in the 6 or 7th round. Hatton will not allow him the time to set up the right, plus Hatton has the steel chin ne way, Hatton by KO.Comment

So why did Harris choose to fight Urkal in Germany instead for a 1/5 of what he would have made against Hatton?Originally posted by PBF34Hatton offered the champion the lesser purse AND wanted the fight to take place in his backyard.Comment

Simply by principal, probably.Originally posted by Cletus FunkSo why did Harris choose to fight Urkal in Germany instead for a 1/5 of what he would have made against Hatton?
And plus, Urkal is a fighter he knows he can beat no matter where the location.Comment

When did he say that?Originally posted by Smokin'yes, AND? What's your point? Harris said he would fight him for 80,000 and he said he would go over to England and do it. He flip flopped on Steward's advice and ducked Hatton clearly.Comment
