Agree with wacko on Harris though, he may have "looked" impressive if given the right opponent..

*cough* Calzaghe *cough*

id be gobsmacked if hatton urkal went ahead, hatton wants a bigger name urkal will be a last resort,urkal is a fighter u dont look good against so i hope it dosent happen cos the even more hatton haters will jump on the bandwagon

I thought it was already confirmed that Hatton would drop the title and not fight Urkal?

Yup he's after smaller fish now.

Dropping back to 140 he's chasing Urango instead ::**

a JLC fight would be good though,as would a Chico fight if Chico moves up. The best thing for Hatton to do would be to clean out the division,get all the belts asap and then call PBF out to fight him@140...that would be a dream scenario as I think Hatton knows he cannot hang with the big boys at 147.
OR,there could be a shock announcement and Hatton may land the fight with Baldozar.

that's what i'm saying. he should fight JLC (and lose) or Cotto (and maybe win).

For those of you who may not know or can't remember, Vivian harris wento out of his way to duck hatton like a stone cold little bitch.
Hatton dogged him for months and eventually after the first Urkal/Harris fight harris was making noises like he would let it happen, then at the eleventh hour he turned on Hatton, claiming there wasn't enough money in it, took a £250,000 pound pay drop and rematched with urkal.
Scandalous.
I hoipe Hatton makes Harris wait like a dog outside a store tied to a railing in the hot sun sweating, and then beat on his pathetic little weasel ass when he feels like it, for the price hatton dictates.
I hope he gives maussa a rematch before he fights Harris.
I still would like to see him beat the living daylights out of Harris just for good measure.

lol well said, but i dunno bout some peoples opinions im not sure its proven that hatton cant hang at 147 i think it would be fair to see how he does with a couple more fights i got an inklin collazo mite hav jus been an awkward style for ricky! and i'd like to see baldomir hatton i figure it'd be a war, and plus the big fights are at welter cos floyds there and baldomir and margarito are there and cotto's comin to welter! n if cotto's movin up then theres no one in light welter i like nemore! lol peace.

I'd much rather see Hatton face Castillo, but Harris would provide a much better test than Urkal. Hatton should fight @ 140 a few more times. Castillo, Cotto if he's still there, Witter depending how he goes against Corley.

Harris is a good sharpshooter who seems to have problems keeping his opponents at a distance sometimes, which is a big problem. He also has stamina issues, confidence issues, and Hatton would unquestionably break Harris and probably brutalize him. And this comes from someone who rates Harris as one of the top JWW in the world.

Good points, but I think Harris would make it interesting for as long as it last. Definately not a walk in the park.

Very true, but Stevie Johnston showed that Harris is open for the second shot after you throw the first, I think if you're ever at distance for Harris' right hand then he catches you with it he will knock you down, much like Tszyu but not half as tough, I see Hatton bullying Harris the same way unless Harris fights like Wladimer

u know hatton is a bully fighter, hes right on the inside even a bit dirty to be fair sometimes and he throws almost exclusively to the body on the inside, so granted given the distance harris could drop some1 with the right, but it'll take alot of movement and power in the early rounds, and also thats when ricky is most vulnerable i.e eammon maggee's flash knockdown of ricky his only pro knockdown that i can recall!! so he'd have to work hard early and pray imo
