I would buy this fight.

For sure, someone is going to get KTFO.

though i dont like each fighter... but i want THE CLINCHMAN to beat the cheater by hugging him on the waist line till he suffocate.... hehehe!

[Cletus Funk]

FOTY without a doubt. I think it goes the distance with Hatton's extra output edging it.

Can the guys predicting Castillo to win by TKO on cuts tell me which of these 2 fighters has been stopped 4 times on cuts in their career?

Here's a clue; it's not Hatton. He hasn't been cut by a punch since they removed a piece of hardened vaseline from under his skin.

This fight needs to happen for sure, I can't believe the amount of people on here dismissing Hatton's chances..it's unreal, though keep doing it..the majority of ya wrote him off against Tszyu and we all know how that ended up.

You can't judge Hatton just from his last fight with Collazo were he moved up a weight for the very first time, fighting for a world title and against a slick southpaw (which Hatton has always struggled against). I, and most other Englishman and Hatton fans will know that when Ricky Hatton is at his best he is the very best in his weight division.

Hatton's style and pressure would take it out of Castillo and i'd predict a K.O in around 9. I'm not underrating Castillo either as i kinow how much of a great fighter he is but i suggest you all do some more homework if you think it'd be as easy as you make out.

Oh, and if this fight was to happen in Manchester,England...Castillo might as well not turn up because it's impossible to beat the Hitman in his hometown

Hatton fought Tszyu in England and even in his home town Manchester.

As much as i dont like to say but in many Englands boxing fans are like there football fans Hooligans as well as the the referree is on Hatton side. Tszyu cant use his fav. punch the straight right is someone keeps on clinching could he?

Even Mayweather is not fighting Hatton in England.

HATTON wins in a wrestling match LOL!

hatton only clinched in the collazo fight. his other fights had a medium clinch count. ANd he only clinched with collazo because he was afraid of that left hand coming from a southpaw stance, and he didnt know how to defend against it. And he doesnt grab on, he just holds his arms around his opponent. He breaks himself out a lot as well.

I think he'll give up the clinching once he realizes it wouldnt work against castillo. As praised as castillo is, he is very under-rated. He is a great inside fighter. I can say with 80% assurance, that this fight will be FOTY or at least a contender for it.

Nice, English boxing and football fans are hooligans. Nice generalisation. How would you like it if I wrote that Arab boxing fans are suicide bombers? You wouldn't like it would you?















I would not however dare to suggest such a thing. Just drawing a stereotype comparison.
