Ricky is having all hell making 140. ! 135 is out of the question IMO . Pacman can come up if he wants.. It would be a nice match , both men about the same height.. Ricky would be hell to fight , so physical ,just forces his will on his opposition . I Love it !Quote:

Hatton and mayweather would be huger (its a word) on this site than any other fight out there. It probably wouldn't be as hyped up as the de la hoya fight, but im sure it would have a shot at getting more buyers.
Hatton is an exceptional fighter but Mayweather stylewise is just too quick. Hatton does something similar to what Marvin Hagler did. Not the same punch but a similar move. Hagler used to leap in with a right hand jab and leap in the air and land it total commitment. Hatton does the same with his left hook.. Totally commits. That is the move of a great fighter who is confident. Hatton has to use the next two years and fight really good fighters because after that his style will fade. He looks really good. Stopping Castillo in 4.Quote:

No...... he won't. The only way they'll ever meet is if Hatton moves up to 147.Quote:

I don't think the other fights at 147 are viable for him,I don't think his style would be effective at that weight.
You'd think 7 pounds is no big deal, but in this case it is. Hatton would have trouble with any of the top welterweights at the moment. On fighting Paulie, I happen to think it's a good matchup for Hatton. Paulie is known for his lack of power, so with no deterrent to stop him, Hatton would walk right through him. Paulie would be unable to keep Ricky off of him.Quote:

only huge fights for now is in 147lbs.
or he can try to unify at 140
I think Paulie is a deceptive puncher and the key to beating Hatton is timing. I'd favour Hatton but remember,Paulie dropped Ndou which not even Miguel could do with his hammer fists! He doesnt have true power but he managed to generate some because his punches are sharp,fast,they type that once in a while,you don't see coming. I'd favour Hatton but it would be a great fight.Quote:

What do you think of a Floyd fight Tito?
You mean Floyd-Hatton?
