Ricky Hatton keen on PBF rematch........

It's funny because after people fight Floyd they say I think I could have done this or that better, and want a rematch. Maybe they should have figured out what they could have done differently before the 1st fight in case their plan A failed. Plan B usually won't work either, and by the time Plan C is being thought of the fight is usually over{if they ever had a Plan C}.

This is why fighters and trainers have months to figure this out. Hatton should have spent more time working on boxing and head movement in camp than punching that Fat Albert body suit :laugh: I love Ricky, one of my favorite fighters, but he chose the wrong guy to pick a fight with. I think he'll have his hands full with Paulie at 140 :-\

not taking anything away from him but i think he feels himself that he could of fought better, it would have to be his perfect fight to beat Mayweather though

Most of Ricky's inability in the Mayweather fight was not due to what Hatton was doing wrong. It was more of what Mayweather was doing right. Mayweather knew Hatton was coming after him to dig punches inside, so he made his inside defense tight and countered him coming in.

Does anyone think a rematch at 140 might be different, or will mayweather not drop to 140???

There's no reason a rematch at any weight would be different, and (outside of some members of this forum, apparently) Floyd would get massively criticized for taking a rematch against Hatton rather than fighting Cotto or any of at least 10 other people who are more deserving of a shot. Hatton had his chance and got outclassed. End of.

Mayweather would get shat on by every boxing commentator out there if he gave Hatton another shot instead of someone far more deserving. Maybe if Hatton beats Cotto and Williams first, but obviously that's not happening.

There's no reason to drop down to 140 for PBF, the $ is at 147.

What fuck! for? ???
Other then $$$

think mayweather may take on cotto then retire.i think ricky should have one fight before going for a title fight again and i would then like to see him also retire and enjoy his wealth.

There will be no rematch for the Fatboy! The fight was not close and PBF has Cotto, Williams and possibly Margarito to deal with. Hatton will go back to 140lb and fight Witter, Malignaggi and whoever else wants to be beaten by him, Hatton should remain a 140lb champ for at least two more years.

Thanks for the replys, jus a few other comments bwt the fight with floyd do any other ppl agree tht the referee got involved to soon or was hatton workin within too smaller quarters to really hurt floyd, or is it tht floyds defense is really to good to crack? as they was alot of pre fight talk tht the mayweather camp called hatton a grapler and was just wunderin if this affected the referees actions?

Does Hatton really want to head butt the ring post again?

Just like he had surgery on his face to help reduce cuts; he is planning on having a metal plate inserted into his head to negate the effects of hitting the ring-post next time ;D

nothing else mate purly for the $$$

both fighters made a shitload of dosh and if a instant rematch takes place their just after a shitload more.... simple as that.

Greedy cunts ;D

but the thing that they seem to be forgetting is that Hatton has already been knocked out so the intrest on a rematch would not generate the same dosh... No where near

Hatton Cotto or Floyd Cotto would generate big bucks but Hatton Mayweather 2 ??? ??? ???

totally pointless IMO

I wouldnt rule out a rematch if the numbers come back big from the ppv. I think Hatton has alot of room to improve from that fight and take a little knowledge and experience from it. Floyd is pretty much top of his game I cant see him getting better than he already is. If Hatton had better stradegy and technique that fight is alot closer IMO. It looks to me from what they show of Rickys training he does alot of power drills and I dont ever think I've seen him doing footwork/movement stuff. I know they dont show everything, but c'mon we've seen that bodybag thing enough already. Maybe get in a assistant trainer, I know he's loyal to Billy but you gotta add some seasoning like Roger was saying in the last episode of 24/7 ;D

Personally I wouldn't pay to see a rematch, as all the suspense, drama and hype for that fight ended when Ricky ran into the pole. Credit to Ricky for trying, but if I had any doubts about him losing the 1st time around, there are none now.

And I would be critical of Floyd if he took a fight with this guy again when there are others waiting in line.
