Re: Hatton v Castillo is off says Hobson, Ricky to fight N'dou/Rabah winner!
I agree VD,I was just pointing out that the fight is not off but this is VERY dissappointing! Hatton needs to forget the alphabet soup titles,and just fight the best. What happened to fighting only the best fights,he is NOT breaking America beating guys like Urango,and Rabah/Ndou. And I totally agree,he CLEARLY stated that he would fight JLC next but then again,he clearly stated that he would fight Collazo again too :-\

If Hatton does indeed fight the winner of N'dou-Rabah instead of Castillo I think it's pretty obvious fear would be the reason why. I mean what else would it be? The title means nothing. And it's not like N'dou or Rabah are big money fights. It's fear. Plain and simple.

Here's a good video of N'dou, he showed some heart against Mayweather, but he got destroyed in the process.
I think Ricky could have a good, action packed fight against N'dou.
like I posted on another thread if Ricky fights Ben Rabah, he's got the style to keep Ricky frustrated all night
and possibly pull a slap victory.

It's actually a different N'dou Killer.... That was Phillip N'dou, this is Lovemore N'dou who's fighting ben Rabah... He has recently lost to both Cotto and Junior Witter.. Pretty much shot now probably.

Lovemore N'dou gave Cotto one heck of a fight a few years ago.
Ben Rabah is garbage and would do no such thing against the British Troll. He's a feather fisted runner, thats all.

I know you hate the guy, but you don't think a feather-fisted runner would be a problem for Hatton style-wise?

How long is he going to live of the Tszyu win? He gave his word to Collazo for a rematch and than ran away. He's now given his word to Castillo that he would fight him next. Now it looks like he's punking out. How you going to defend that?

He never said he'd rematch Collazo, and he didn't know the IBF would strip him if he didn't defend against N'dou/Rabah, he still plans to fight Castillo but I'm still sickened with his decision.

Ricky Hatton in his post fight interview after Collazo "I'll fight absolutely anybody and that includes a rematch with Luis."
After the Urango fight: "As expected, Bob Arum and his fighter Jose Luis Castillo were on hand to announce with Hatton's promoter Dennis Hobson that an agreement had been reached for the two fighters to face each other some time in June at the Thomas and Mack Center here in Las Vegas. "
Ricky's statement: "it will be an honor to share the ring with a fighter like Castillo who has been in so many great fights." He added " this ain't going to be a tickling contest…and if you want to watch a chess match tune in to the Floyd May weather - De La Hoya fight. But if you want to watch two blokes knock the shit out of each other watch me and Castillo."

I agree, Smashup :coolclick:
Hatton should dispense with his belt and just fight Castillo now, if he wins then it leads to more recognition and more fights. The belt itself is irrelevant here...

Re: Hatton v Castillo is off says Hobson, Ricky to fight N'dou/Rabah winner!
Disappointing as it would be....
I could see a massive Manchester card in the summer.
Hattons homecoming and mandatory defence against N'Dou
Witter on the undercard against his mandatory Castillo
Winner takes all unification in November for the WBC and IBF titles
Not so daft as it first seems and would rely on Castillo beating Witter for it all to fall into place.
Would rather see them fuck the belts off and get it on in June all the same

Re: Hatton v Castillo is off says Hobson, Ricky to fight N'dou/Rabah winner!
lets just wait and see what the camp "OFFICIALLY" announces on who Ricky faces in June before all the bandwagon jumpers decide if there gonna jump or not ;)
That is all :)

Re: Hatton v Castillo is off says Hobson, Ricky to fight N'dou/Rabah winner!

Re: Hatton v Castillo is off says Hobson, Ricky to fight N'dou/Rabah winner!
Every1 should stop going on about the collazo rematch cos its not like hes the only not to have a rematch wid a tough opponent nd also he said he only ever planned to stay at welterweight for one fight

Yeah I'm sure he went up to fight Collazo once. Mayweather wasn't on his mind ??? Cotto wasn't on his mind ???

No he moved up to welter to fight the southpaw Collazo so he could prepare for his next epic battle at 140 against Urango.

I don't understand some of you posters. In order for world titles to not be completely meaningless champions need to honour and respect them.
If a champion has a mandatory fight, then he should respect that and fight that fight.
Hatton can still fight Castillo in November.
N'dou and Rabah are undeserving of a title shot
Absolutely. Rabah just lost his previous undeserving shot vs Urango and N'Dou has been nothing more than a gatekeeper for the better part of a decade.
Shameful.
