Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"

Hatton still chasing Mayweather

It has been all talk and no action between Hatton and Mayweather
Ricky Hatton remains hopeful of fighting American four-weight champion Floyd Mayweather.
Hatton will attempt to regain his IBF light welterweight crown against Juan Orango on 13 January in the States but could then line up Mayweather.
"It's a fight I would definitely want," Hatton, 28, told BBC Radio Five Live.
"I'm not scared to say he's the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He has won world titles at different weights. Hopefully we can get it on."
Mayweather's trainer, his uncle Roger Mayweather, told BBC Sport earlier in the year that the fighter was interested in fighting Hatton, although not on his home soil in Manchester.
Hatton has now resolved that issue by securing a deal with TV network HBO to fight in the United States and he will take on Orango in either Las Vegas or Atlantic City next January.
Floyd came in to the ring dressed as Russell Crowe and he ended up fighting like Sheryl Crow

However, this month Mayweather accused Hatton of demanding too much money and Hatton in turn insists that is not the case.
"He says that I've priced myself out of a fight but I wasn't even aware that I've asked for a price because my next two fights are done deals," Hatton told Sportsweek.
The Manchester fighter also suggested Mayweather, who defeated Carlos Baldomir last week to claim the WBC welterweight title, would have to raise his game if the two were to arrange a high-profile meeting in the ring.

"The way Floyd is performing, I don't think he is in a position to be demanding money," said Hatton. "His last two fights have sent me to sleep.
"He is a wonderful talent but his last fight was very boring. They carried him to the ring dressed as Russell Crowe and he ended up fighting like Sheryl Crow."
Mayweather, who remains unbeaten in 37 contests, said he intended to quit after one more fight.

Re: Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"
Honestly...I don't know where people come up with this shit.
The quote should actually read: Hatton says: "Floyd's last two fights have sent me to sleep...but just prior to that I had to clean out the cabinets & fridge...then pound back about 12 Guinness." ;D
Re: Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"
Im getting fucking fed up with all this Hatton bashing. Im actually ashamed of you Wacko.
;D
Re: Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"
Hatton DID NOT say "step up to me Floyd or I'll embarrass you by beating everyone the boxing fans want you to fight"....which makes Hatton look like a dope to me.
If I was Ricky I would say....Floyd doesn't want Tony Margarito, I'll take him out!....Floyd doesn't want Miguel Cotto, I'll take him out! Floyd doesn't want Shane Mosley, I'll take him out!
It's that simple, you discredit what Floyd has done by beating him to his next goal so Floyd can say "Well I beat ____" and Ricky can say "Well I beat ____ too and before you even got there"
I want Ricky to get his shot but I'm afraid the Collazo fight fucked it up!!!

Well I will say this...And all the Die-hard Hatton fans have to admit Ricky aint setting the world on fire...He fought once last year, Just scraped one out against Collazzo and then dropped down to 140 again to attempt to take an alphabet from a guy with 19 pro fights....Cmon boys fair is fair and Matty you know I have posted this in other places just as respectfully...Whats good for the Goose is good for Gander...Ricky needs to asses his Team and his Direction and they need to step it up..Cause the the Things they Accuse Floyd of there just as guilty and thats were I try to hang in there but then Credibility comes in...I am trying to see it both ways .....Fair is fair..
Plus I have to question how much of it Ricky really meant or is he Just Posturing for a Fight with Floyd...After Floyd fighting Delahoya in May(If it Truly Happens) it is safe to say Ricky needs Floyd more than the Floyd needs Ricky....Hopefully we wont have to argue about it and those Fukers will get in the ring and sort this S*** out............... ;)
Re: Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"
Hatton has to realise that Floyd is not going to go after him. Hatton isnt all that important to Floyd. Floyd can move up divisions and fight up to junior middleweight, if Hatton wants the fight then its looking like he might need to follow. It doesnt look as though Hatton is able to do that.
Hatton is best off keeping quiet and actually getting back in the ring. Its been a very long time since he last fought!!!

Re: Hatton says: "Floyds last two fights have sent me to sleep"
For real why is Hatton talking smack right now? What has he done lately? He's still riding on the Tszyu fight...
Floyd's moving up in weight to fight OSCAR DE LA HOYA
Hatton is moving down in weight to fight Urango
