Hatton: "Pressure is off!", Graham: "Ricky's still the best!"

[bakey321]

Mayweather has made a career of calling out fighters after they have been beaten, or when he knows they are not available, as in the cases of Hatton and Tszyu. I have no interest in what the bigmouthed Mayweather says about his so called challenges, unless the whole discussion is published, not his trash talkin no class version of it. Tell us the full offer, date time and reply, or tell us nothing.

You may not like what Mayweather has to say or how he says it, but the man talks the truth. Everything he says seems to be fact because nobody can deny the things he's said. When he says Hatton asked for 13 mil nobody in Hatton's camp denied it. When he said that he would punish Gatti, nobody believe him and.... he punished Gatti. Other than DLH and Mosley who has Floyd ever called out? He wanted Tszyu until Hatton beat him. Then he wanted Hatton. Proof that he's going after the best. Hatton wanted nothing to do with it and Gatti was next in line. Bottom line is that he does what he says, unlike your boy Hatton

No, he didn't want Hatton.

If he did he would have pursued the fight, not just get his management to put down an offer.. if Hatton did accept, Floyd might have moved up regardless, think out of the box, dumbass, speculate.

[hugh grant]

thats a load of bull****, your basically saying "lets wait until PBF has a few big fights and looks more vunerable, as opposed to fighting him in his definate prime so we have more of a chance at winning as opposed to the latter".

Thats a ***** move.

No....Hatton just wanted to bathe in the glory of being a champ and have maybe a couple of defences (like most champs do) and then fight PBF. What is wrong with that? PBF is still in his prime, and is not more vulnerable than he ever was! Hatton isnt going anywhere, unlike PBF, with his talk of retirement. Now Hatton is ready. Nothin bull**** about that bro.

that's just plain ******ed. hatton and his team don't want any parts of floyd and thats sad because that is a fight most prefer, now it's not that i dont like hatton but the doesn't look like it's going to happen because he (hatton) keeps pricing himself out. bottom line floyd will box and expose the **** out of hatton, you can hate but i'm going to say easy fight for floyd other than the wrestling part from hatton.

Hatton does want every part of PBF. He wants everything PBF has! He wants to be known as the best. He wants PBf p4p status. So that is where you are wrong. Hatton has as good as chance as anyone of upsetting PBF. Better than Gatti or Baldy anyway!

Riiiiiigggghhhhttt. You are ******ed. There isn't much "thinking out of the box" when a guy asks for 13 million. Hatton's team has said plenty of times that they want to fight Floyd..... later. Down the line. When he is long gone to 154. When there is no real chance of the fight being made because Floyd is fighting 2 weight classes above Hatton. Ok, maybe they didn't say all of those, but Hatton's team did say that they weren't going after a Floyd fight for a couple years. So who is avoiding the fight? No need to speculate, dumbass.

Don't worry guys. PBF's stay at 154 is gonna be a short one, he's gonna come right back down where he belongs. Then Hatton or other top 147 fighters might get their shot, unless of course PBF retires.

I have to agree with you on that. He is not even a natural 147, so its going to be EXTREMELY difficult for him to fight at 154. And he is going after some great guys at 154 (Oscar or Spinks). I don't think he'll be fighting at 154 more than once. Then again he might not fight at any weight more than once more. As for Hatton getting his shot, he could have had it and turned it down. Floyd is not going down to 140 and Hatton is scared out of his mind to go back to 147. That fight is never happening.

[hugh grant]

It really would be silly for someone with a mouth like PBF to talk about retiring. He keeps talking about wanting to fight the big names, and says what he would do to them so it does not make sense to retire, without accomplishing what his mouth keeps saying he will accomplish. Basically there is unfinished business.
There are not that many more names for him to beat....but they are important ones for him, if he wants to be taken seriously. Once he has won 3 or so more fights he can happily retire. And i wish him a happy retirement. He will have enough money so it should last him, until he dies about 90 years old.

NO, thats where you are wrong. hatton and his camp both said they needed more time to be ready when they were offered a fight. get your facts before you try to debate it came right from the horses mouth.

i have to disagree and i will explain why, when floyd moved up to 140 to fight gatti there was a reason why hatton was ringside and that is because floyd/hatton was the fight to be setup next and when the offer was on the table for hatton he and his team backed out by saying they needed more time and then he priced himself out. maybe it was because he was ringside and seen what floyd did to gatti (not saying gatti is on hattons level) and knew he wasn't ready yet. regardless it's a fight that i would like to see no doubt so i hope it happens soon.

Nice story. Plucked from your ass, but nice none the less.
