CC mate - just came on to post it myself - still only the word of Ray Hatton though, and no venue agreed, I'm still sceptical :-\
Sounds credible enough to me. CC.
Yeh, but I'm always a pesimist until they step through the ropes ;)Quote:

British fighters really are putting their beans on the table this year, and making the big fights. Winter might be dark and gloomy, but there's a few bright lights in there for us!
Yes, a truly amazing fall coming up. Should be very exciting!!Quote:

But do you think he'll win or lose? If he wins, it wouldn't surprise me, but if he loses I can see him wanting to come back and claim one more title so that he can retire as a champion. He's to proud to go out with a defeat imo.Quote:

Don't get any bigger than this, win or lose. The only other meaningful fight for him would be Witter...and we all know he's dodged Witter like the plague for years
Bring it ;D
I agree. If (when) Hatton loses to Floyd and if Witter beats Harris (far from guaranteed), Hatton beats Witter in front of a huge stadium crowd to finish his career.Quote:

Bet that's his dream.. Without the losing to Floyd part of course.Quote:

Dodged Witter cos it's the worst fight style wise on the planet not cos he is scared ;)Quote:
