Collazo was supposedly the real deal like floyd right? So what does that got to do with Floyd going to 147, sounds like an excuse. Also floyd was looking at jail when he was trying to get afight with Gatti, sounds like another excuse. And he aint fighting in England, u want to fight and beat the best, u got to come to the best.
    I was referring to the offer to fight this November. You don't think that preparing for a court case and being in court would disrupt your preparation? Please...it would have come smack **** in the middle of his camp.

    You want to fight the undisputed champ, you go to him or pay for the privilege of having him come to you.

    Floyd never gives the full story, he just tries to play the big man.

      all I know is that Hatton GOT QUIET ALL OF A SUUDEN. I don't know when he got quiet. After Mayweather whooped Gatti or Judah OR when Collazo schooled him. But I know Hatton isn't even thinking Mayweather right now. Good for him because Floyd would school him.

        He turned down the biggest payday of his career against Margarito, and he hasn't lobbied for the best 140 lbers, Hatton or Cotto. Like I stated, he's lost steam, plus he's become a boring fighter that won't step up to a big challenge anymore. A headcase, Zab, gave him almost more than he could handle. All can say is he better have his head screwed on against Baldo.
        Squeaking? lol are you talking about the first fight? what about the rematch where floyd clearly beat castillo huh? yea you going to ignored that. He turn down 8 million to fight margarito and right now he's going get more then 8 million to fight the real legit champion. Atleast floyd next fight is against a real champion at 147 pounds while hatton next fight is who again? lol yea.

          The brusseles fight was when? lol stop living in the ****** past. The bottomline is this hatton next fight is facing who? and floyd next fight is a stronger true welterweight with a real legit title.

            I think preparing for a court case would affect training, but it's been done before. alot of fighters have fought thru adversity. And like I said, the seriousness of the court system and everything didn't prevent him from trying to make other fights. And what is ricky the undisputed champ of? last time i checked he gave up his 147 belt and was going back down to fight for his old 140 belt, that don't sound like undisputed. hatton is a tier below floyd, hatton should be beggin for a fight and trying to make the fight happen for himself, to help him reach that legendary status. the fact of the matter is that he is a lil intimidated and just not that good to be considered legendary.

              PBF would open up a can of whoop-ass on Hatton if they ever fought......this would be an old-skool beating!

                Hatton has stepped out of the PBF que when he went back down to 140lbs. These two guys wont fight for anything meaningful. However they might fight a few years down the road when one or both are well over the hill with a couple of losses and they want cash in on this would've been fight.

                Fact is Tzu/Hatton opend our eyes to Hatton but it also created many questions. Hatton has not fought the level of competition that would answer these and beating Urango does nothing for him either.

                Fact is that in leaving the WW division Hatton has decided to not fight the best fighters of his era even though they are only 1 division up. The only redemable quality of Hattons retreat back down in weight is the Castillo fight which could be a significant win for Hatton and a gold star on his resume, however the rest of the division leaves much to be desired.

                To be truly remembered, IF Hatton defeats Castillo he will have to move back up to WW and fight some of those other gold stars.

                  Who let out the pipsqueaks? The only fight over the past 4 yrs Floyd dominated was Gatti.

                  You Floyd pipsqueaks always conveniently forget that Floyd thinks he's a p4p great, but he's been passing on the big fights of his era the past 3 yrs. I can excuse some boxing and managerial politics, but the fact is he just ain't got the mentality to be really great. He might make it into the 50 alltime greats, might being the operative word. Roy Jones ain't gonna make it, and he dominated his era far more than Floyd.

                      your pathetic, just look at his career as a whole and see who he has beat. what can the man do when he goes after fights like hatton, mosley, and oscar and they turn him down? and now he's fighting the 147 lb. champ and marg don't deserve a shot so please don't reply that bull****.
