I'd be more impressed if Hatton beat Malignaggi than either Tszyu or Castillo. Both were badly faded fighters and I have no doubt that Cotto and Mayweather would have dispatched them both just as easily as they met them at the same time as Hatton did.
I'd pick Malignaggi over Castillo any day of the week although obviously not by knockout. Still he would probably win 120-109 or something like that.
Beating Castillo just doesn't mean a great deal to me to be honest, he's an old fighter living off a former name.
Plus going life and death with Coralles doesn't a great fighter make either.
Re: Hatton only wants the names
Ive voted Mayweather but Mayweather or Cotto would be good next.
Re: Hatton only wants the names
Have a CC on me, Bilbo. I've seen your posts and you're giving credit to Hatton, while also being honest about some of the other factors involved. I know you're getting raked over the coals, but what can you say? People should be open to differing points of view. That's what makes this such a great forum.
Re: Hatton only wants the names
:) HIT- MANS the name whoever Ricky fights next, Mayweather, oscar, cotto, the result will be the same, then they will all say that they where over the hill, even though from the first round Rick went in for the kill, ;)
Re: Hatton only wants the names
The big names are all at Welterweight and above and I gon't think Ricky will move-up. More likely is Malignaggi (sp) next. Though I'd like to see him deal with Witter in a homecoming fight.
Re: Hatton only wants the names
Okay, so currently the in demand fight is that of Mayweather Jr, and plenty of votes for Cotto too. No-one thinks Castillo can come back from last night's drubbing then I guess.
