Freaking Hatton!!!

I just don't understand this guy. I just read on Boxingtalk that Hatton's manager, Artie Pellulo (sp?), said that Floyd's team reached out for a fight with Hatton but they couldn't take it because of the mandatory with Urkal. Ummm...seriously Hatton has been talking shit ever since Judah gave Mayweather a competitive fight. Throw your belt in the garbage, PBF did. The only belt that matters is WBC belt anyway. I just don't understand Hatton. Hatton was running scared after PBF demolished Gatti and said that he wouldn't be ready for a PBF fight until 2007, then after Zab gave PBF a good fight, all of sudden Hatton is saying he wants to fight Floyd and he could bang with Floyd, now Floyd reaches out to Hatton's team again, and this guy is worrying about the weak ass WBA belt? I don't understand this guy at all.

Run Hatton Run........I don't blame him...He needs to make as much money as possible and once he fights PBF the money makin train is over....:)

If this is true, this is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Who the hell cares about Ricky's stupid alphabet strap? If you're a big name, you shouldn't be fighting mandatories unless you've already unified the division. Sorry, Floyd, I can't fight you now because I have to fight some schmuck no one's ever heard of, mate. Actually, you can fight whoever you want. He's running scared. Again.

exactly.....seeing things the same way.....

i think he had second thoughts ever since he fought Callozo

Like i said, don't believe everything you read...

...and its not December either ;)

Save your critiscm until after the announcement!

If this is true then that is a poor excuse. You have to believe that the WBA would jump at the chance for PBF to fight for their belt. They would sanction PBF/Hatton in the same amount of time it takes them to grab money from under the table.

Now whos ducking who. This is like the 3rd time pbf tried to get hatton to fight and its the 3rd time he refused. Hes scared. Simple as that.When people talk about floyd they shouldn't even bring up hatton cause he don't wanna fight.

it IS december ;)

If he has a Manditory, then he has to go through with it, he has no choice...

I dont see where that makes hatton sound out of line or how it makes it bullshit....

Ricky, is by far, scared of someone like Mayweather....I actually think this could be the fight to derail Mayweather....

It will be an interesting one to say the least...

Sure- thats right....

...oh hang on...who's avoiding Margarto then?

Maybe Ricky will take Arum's money and fight him himself.

Here's the choice: (a) defend his worthless alphabet strap against a bum who won't attract any fans or a big payday or (b) say fuck the mandatory, give up the worthless alphabet strap (like floyd will do with his IBF strap--I guarantee he won't be sitting around taking crap mandatories), and sign up for the fight that everyone wants to see and that will bring you 10x as much money as this crap Urkal fight. So maybe you're actually right about him having no choice, but right for the wrong reason: option (b) is so obviously the thing to do that there's not much of a choice at all. (Unless, of course, Hatton's scared of Floyd.)

Who has bigger side muscles, Hatton or your son? ;)

if this is true then i am very dissappointed in ricky. i am a massive hatton but this would be dissapointing because one of my main reasons for following him is my admiration at his sheer courage and tenacity. In some ways I would prefer to see Ricky square up and possibly get his arse pounded, just cos it shows what a warrior he is. It takes a true warrior to take a fight that they know is going to be tough to win and still step through the ropes.

I am inclined to believe/hope this is rumour or lies and would expect a response from the hatton camp.

First off Collazo is a south paw and a much bigger man the Floyd, how much would Ricky make fighting Floyd now??

Answer not that much people think this is going to generate Tito-Dela Hoya revenue!!! Only real die hards no this is the fight we want to see.

Ricky wants this fight when he is capable of demanding at leats $10million, Urkal is a bad choice, Ricky could easily drop that strap he has the $$ to attract any of the other belt holders, so for me it is pointless but its to soon to be fighting Floyd simply because of the $$ issue.

I always thought of BoxingTalk as one of the most innacurate boxing websites out there.

Why?

The more Hatton keeps fighting safe fights, the more people are going to stop believing in him. Even his own fans are going to realize it eventually.

Safe fights PMSL!!

Did you watch the Collazo fight?? That was his debut at 147 by the way, who did Pretty boy fight on his debut at 147, oh yes Mitchell who is an old man oh who guess what was also making his debut at 147, dont talk crap mate.

Judah gave Mayweather a good few rounds.. not fight. And that Judah would kill Hatton so he has a right to be scared of PBF

I think Hatton would win against judah,would be hard for first few rounds but i recon Hatton would get stronger as fight went on and he would slow judah down with his body shots.Judah hasnt looked good in any fights of late.

Hatton will lose....

He has to learn to be more of a boxer when comming to the states...

American refs will start deducting for all the grabbing and holding that Hatton does...

Please dont get me wrong, I like Hatton, he is one tough Mutha...

But, he is to used to the style that they fight in Europe and the fact they let the fighters there get away with a little more than they do here...

He didnt look all that hot in his last fight he had....

Thank you for stating the obvious, now answer my question

Who has bigger side muscles? ;D

Woa, take it easy Hatton fan. We're not talkin about Floyd here and fyi, I've been saying the same thing about Floyd. Why didn't he fight Cotto at 140 and unify? Instead he fights Maussa who Cotto already beat and then moves up to 147 to win a title and fights a guy he thought was a vulnerable champ and now he's talking about going back down in weight. :( I'm losing more respect as I write. Too many fighters that only care about the money nowadays. I understand it's a business and yada, yada but they gotta realize that as well. What we need is more real fans to stop paying for garbage PPVs and stop giving more credit than due and hopefully we'll wake these people up. It's up to the fans though, so do yourself a favor and hold out. Maybe we'll get some quality fights.
