prepare!

Are you saying he was unprepared against Collazo?

He knew he had a fight to make on that date. He had LESS weight to lose than
he expected and fought the exact same way he fights every fight (barring Urango)

did i mention weight
i dont recall that
and yes i am saying that he had 5 weeks to prepare for that fight

And yes i guess he did fight that fight the same way he has done his others HE WON

I don't understand what else he would have done to prepare then......
Please enlighten me...........

Hatton will lose, but he will make a better show than most. He'll have a better chance than Dela Hoya had. He has better footspeed than Oscar and he's tougher and more relentless than Judah. Both of those guys managed to take a few rounds, and I'm betting Ricky will win a solid 3 for 4 rounds. Collazo was a true WW. Floyd, regardless of his current weight and title, is naturally a 135 or 140 pounder. Ricky will be able to force the action and make Floyd earn his victory with his fists. This would actually be a good fight for Floyd because he'll need to engage more. It might even look like some of his early, great fights at 135.

shza right. It's on b-talk. Thank god for that site, they instigate so many fights. These guys are actually talking at least and Mayweather actually wants to fight the dude. Hatton needs to take the 60/40 or 65/35 split Floyd will offer him and make the fight happen. Floyd ain't retiring and if Hatton is reasonable and realizes that he only made 2.5 Mil for Castillo and Mayweather is pound for pound the best and just won his last fight and made over $25 Mil, then the fight can get done. But if Hatton is asking for something outrageous like $15 Million, then the fight will never get done. Floyd $12 Mil+, Hatton $7.5 Mil+, let's get this shit done.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that Hatton will outprice himself though.

He;s done it before so I would not be surprised. CC for the info SHZA.

Mayweather basically said he would beat HAtton and all Hatton does is hold more then fight and that he would stop Hatton with a body shot and hatton only uses his name to promote so he is giving him an opportunity to sign a contract to see if he is serious

I can. And I will. Mayweather is twice the fighter Collazo is. Hatton got a gift win against Collazo and than preceded to avoid him like the plague. Mayweather is in another level than Hatton.

Mayweather is on another level than anybody. he should just stay retired and save us all the bother of watching him beat everyone.

Stop the negative thoughts,lets focus on the positive,keep saying over and over this fight will happen

Why can't he call out Cotto? Margarito?
Margarito's been arguing his case before Hatton and proven at 147 unlike Hatton.

Ah whatever.... Hatton's the first live fighter he's faced in ages! Since Castillo hahaha.

Hey, I thought you were retired!!!!! Stay retired Mayweather!

Of course, LaMotta wasn't on the same level with Robinson. Neither was Fulmer or Basilio. That's we still want to see the fight happen.

This has nothing to do with Hatton calling Floyd out.

It has come about because Oscar called Hatton out 1st. I bet if Oscar's post Castillo KO phone call to Ricky didn't get press Floyd would still be counting his money while dreaming about 'The World Awaits" rematch.
