One bad fight, Hell no man. He didn't beat all the other guys by being over-hyped. The guy just had a bad style for him. But Ricky showed heart, determination and resolve to hang in there and get the nod.Quote:

I think the southpaw thing plus being tall and rangey is what threw Ricky off. It was a tough fight vs a tough style and he still pulled it off, but he's got some major work to do
so when mayweather gets KTFO by judah will you reqire his becomming a full time sparring partner mr imripped?
Should Ricky Hatton Become a Full Time Sparring Partner?
No.
Should Ricky Hatton go back to 140lbs?
Yes.
Anyone that has seen Hatton fight & watched him rip through his opponent from round 1 - 12, you would have noticed that his stamina fell the fwock off after about the 6th. Bad sign.
Not sure that he took his power with him to 147 either. There again...just not sure of that...but his stamina didn't seem to come along for the ride & once plan A didn't work on Collazo...there wasn't a plan B.
Ricky's second gear either couldn't kick in on his own or Collazo just negated it.
Ricky should only move down if he wants to fight Cotto (who will be a BEAST at 147)
Ricky has plenty of options at 147, I suggest the winner or Gatti-Baldomir. Gatti has had plenty of wars and his style would bring out the best in Hatton. Baldomir is a good tough fighter but has no power (12 KO's) he does however have a great workrate.
Viv Harris would be a good fighter for Ricky too.
The key is to have a fight so he can get used to the weight, just like anyone else. A rematch would also be smart
Agreed. That would be a great fight. Lots of action.Quote:

I'd be shocked if Baldo came out on top over everyone...stranger things.
Hatton eats him up.Quote:

I think in a rematch Ricky would work harder on the inside and it would REALLY pay off. He had the right idea by smothering Collazo but he needs to take the Vitali style of clinching to heart. Clinch, just before the ref can step in, break then throw combos...works everytime! Not really the most sportsmanly way of winning but it's not totally against the rules either
he really should go back to 140, he was 158 last night
Did I miss something? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Floyd de-belt Judah last month? Judah had his shot at Floyd, he blew it. He ain't getting another shot. That's life and Floyd is still the best O0Quote:

and we all know he fears margarito ;)
After Floyd beats Oscar, he can handle that slick southpaw Collazo. And who better to spar with the great Mayweather than another southpaw, Zab Judah. I did a topic on him becoming a sparring partner too, you should check it out, because it works out perfectly here :laugh:
i know about that topic, and trust me, PBF will have to fight either judah or margarito...Quote:

AND REST ASSURED MAN,
LARRY HAZZARD ISNT APPOINTING ANY GLEN HAMADA ;)
All Margarito has to do is not lose and I promise, he's getting a shot before Zab. Hell, Floyd would rather fight Shane than little Zab. With Judah it's a case of "Been there, beat that." :laugh:Quote:

De la Hoya would DESTROY him
