don't think anyone's slating Haton for not fighting N'dou. Or that anyone will. So stop acting like Hatton's just criticized no matter what he does, noone on this site came up with the article, or is saying that it's accurate. Fight Castillo already, just get it signed.. I think hanging around in limbo is what pisses everyone off.. It's all so cryptic as to what he might actually do in the weeks before his fights get signed.
He generally is criticized no matter what he does tho.Quote:

I mean really, can you honestly say that since beating Tszyu, there hasn't been any reason to criticize him? Maussa, Collazo, then Urango, was not exactly the way to follow it up.. So naturally if he were to fight N'dou instead of Castillo for his next fight, he would be scrutinized, and probably quite fairly. My point was that since he isn't doing that, noone in their right mind is going to criticize him for this decision in particular.Quote:

Hatton was just a mandatory for Tszyu's IBF belt and Hatton won that right. Now Lovemore won that right and Hatton is gonna say no?
How is Lovemore the number 1 is what I want to know? All the big names on his record are losses...I would think Junior Witter deserves the shot more than N'dou, or am I crazy?Diego Corrales, Castillo, Ngoudjo, and Witter are the only ones not currently scheduled to fight in the top of the division....I think any one of those guys would be better than Lovemore.
Yep, cuz Castilllos a better and bigger fight that was talked about beforehand. Not like N'dou will lose his mandatory status, and this way he may actually win the title when Hatton vacates.Quote:

lovemore n'dou should accept the vacated IBF title, chase witter for a rematch to avenge his loss at him and have a crack at a unification. i'm sure witter would be interested in getting his hands on another title and gaining a better rep state side and i'm sure that he probably reckons he would beat n'dou again. plus the winner of that fight might be able to have a crack at hatton. n'dou would surely want to avenge that loss.
Exactly mate CC. That's all it is at the end of the day, Hobson telling porkies to the IBF.Quote:

He's only fought 4 world champions 3 of them coming off career best wins in his last 4 fights !
No pleasing some.
Mayweather : oo me hands.
Thats a good point alri...but ya cant really deny he has had good schooling....A bronze world medal in the amateurs and consider pro fights like Ben Tackie & Vince Philips...Hatton is no soft touch.
Hatton dominaited those fellas for the best part of 12 rounds.
He's having hard fights i for one can't wait to guage Collazo - Mosely .
:coolclick: I completely agree with you.Quote:

Won that (controversially) and suprise suprise vacated that and moved back down to fight for the belt he had just recently given up, beats Urango and wins the belt, and now wants to vacate that to fight Castillo ::**
Surely people have to understand that the belt organisations have rules and regulations and if Hatton wants to fight for these belts he should at least make an effort to honour the belts with one defense at least.
All he does is muscle his way in to the title shot, win it, then basically throws the belt away, takes a crap in the ring and fucks off to fight for another title, which he will throw away seconds after winning.
I'm steadily going off Hatton to be honest.
