Sometime I wish that HAtton and Cotto fought each other instead of Gomez. I hearing toooo many people saying that HAtton should fight Cotto and all at 147 ( Cotto won't make 140 for nobody) andn that HAtton will outpower, Outbox him ;D ,and that he has more speed tahn Cotto and if fans are saying thatit means that it would have made a bad ass fight when I say Bad ass I meant Bas A$$ bunch of mone because in my eyes it will be onesided.
For those people saying that Hatton is waiting for Witter to win a few more fights and build up the PPV - Ricky said he doesn't want to give Witter the payday so that argument doesn't really make sense. Making more money will mean more money for Junior.
I am beginning to think that there is something to the 'ducking' claims.
Now is the perfect time to make the fight, after a tune up to regain some confidence.
If Hatton doesn't fight him there will always be a question mark IMO - he is clearly the only guy at 140 who can pose a threat although Devon Alexander looked really good the other day and could pose problems in a year or two.
I disagree bro. Unless you want to see Cotto in prison for Grievous Bodily Harm,I don't think that fight should be made at all. Anyone who thinks Hatton can wi that fight is crazy,no offence. Cotto would beat Hatton from pillar to post and stop him earlier than Floyd.Quote:

I havn't heard anyone mention Hatton-Cotto. Seems most people realise He can't cut it at welter.
And the sooner everyone sees Hatton ducking Witter the better.Is there a better fight out there at the moment for Hatton.
Actually they do. Here at Saddo, Comments at youtube among other forums and so on.Quote:

Hatton could be done now he did'nt look that good against Collazo and Urango he looked good against Castillo but he is old now then Mayweather knocked him out i remember Hatton saying Mayweather won't stand and trade with me or he will get eaten.Well he did stand and trade and it was Hatton who was chomped up and spat out if Hatton is'nt mauling and hooking and holding i dont think he is all that strong.I see Witter beating him in similar fashion to Mayweather i know everybody says this and also say he's been doing it years and it works but i think his lifestyle between fights is damaging his career he looked really weight drained leading upto the Mayweather fight and still slim a few days after then 3 or 4 week later he is fat as hell again on sky news.Also if im honest i see Torres knocking him out Torres can bang.
Who ? Urango . Colazzo and Mausser ? Fighting Witter would be a bigger attraction than those guys . The Witter fights been a long time in teh making . Hatton is rapidly running out of excuses . Every argument he can give can be countered .Quote:

I dont like him- Fighters dont usually love each other! Do you think Oscar liked Mayorga or Lewis liked Tyson
Dont want to give him payday - Witter is willing to accpet the small end even though hes the WBC champ
Bigger fights out there - Who ? Malignaggi . Holt , Torrez . Rees ?
Even Hatton fans wana see it now so Hatton has to step up or lose face.
I see your points Donny, but both Tszyu and Mayweather were pretty much certified hall of famers when Hatton fought them. I dont think hatton is afraid of losing to those type of guys.Quote:

Lets look at the facts. Hatton has looked shit since he fought Tszyu. The Castillo fight looked impressive because it only went 4 rounds.
He was ok againsed Collazo till the latter part of the fight as with Urango. Struggled with Maussa before he actually picked his punches (like he used to do) just watch the last round leading to the KO, thats the last time I seen Ricky fight like he used to.
He did ok in the Floyd fight. He was already beat going into the ring though, no fire in his eyes or anything. Compare his face to the face he had walking into the ring to fight Tszyu. Totally different. Floyd got to him big time. He was more fired up at the weigh in and as a result was just worn out emotionally come fight night.
His lifestyle caught up with him a good few fights ago and he just resorts to the tactics used to beat Tszyu these days. Witter just might do a job on him this present day, a few years back Rick would have beat Witter all over the place. Witter has improved while Rick has declined.
Still, for a boozing fat bastard he ain't half done well in his career
Still can't see Witter beating Hatton. Even a Hatton on the slide would be too busy and too sharp for Witter. As for Hatton being scared of losing to Witter, if he had fear, why did he fight Mayweather? I think there is a general thing of people underestimating Hatton now. He'll be surprising some people in the future.
Losing to the best guy out there really ain't nothing to be ashamed of and he got a great payday too. Losing to Witter though would be a disaster to Rick after all these years.Quote:

His KO of Harris was impressive, you can't help but think he has what it takes to give Rick a little too much trouble at this stage in his carrer.
