Hatton may fight N'dou in England later this year...

Hattons US promoter,Art Pelullo will meet new IBF Light welterweight champ N'dou in Vegas tommorow.

N'dou.."I am looking forward to meeting with Art Pelullo and hopefully set up a match with Hatton in the future,Im sure i have the skills to defeat him"



If Hatton fails against Castillo then this could maybe happen but if he beats Castillo then surely N'dou won't even be on his radar...or will he? ;)

As long as an opponent holds a paper title they will always be Hatton's radar ;)

well witter vs n'dou is a good posibility and i would not be suprised if the winner of hatton vs castillo fights the winner of that.

always...another angle to build the record...

How ironic would it be after doing the right thing, slinging the IBF belt, to make a far greater fight with castillo, that he then justified fighting N'dou cause of the IBF belt...Surely now, like Witter, N'dou is so far off Hatton's radar it's unreal ;)

n'dou was never 'so far off hatton's radar' really cos ricky really had to think about his options before he finalised his next move and officially anounced the castilo fight. if n'dou and witter get it on and unify and impress then they might bring more to the table in hatton's eyes and he might fight the winner. but he has to get through castillo first.

You can bet that once he's got the Castillo fight out of the way he'll need at least two paper world title fights just to settle his nerves again before he has a go at another big fight.

why were Maussa, Collazo, or Urango on his radar? Don't be dillusional.. I hope he doesn't go after N'dou but realistically, if he isn't going to move up to welter, there isn't a whole lot for him to do if he beats Castillo.. And he does seem to enjoy winning as many pointless titles as he can..

Enlighten me then, were you simply being sarcastic and implying that Witter should be on his radar?

Yes

If N'dou is an option then Witter can be an option. ;)

Before Hatton beat Urango was N'dou ever in the picture as a possible next opponent? NO! Hatton chucked the belt so he could fight Castillo. Why would he consider fighting N'dou later in the year?

And Witter has to BEAT N'dou AGAIN to impress Ricky?

whats the point tho? if he does fight him and win, weather its the IBf or WBc or both, he will have to make another pointless fucking mandatory first ruling out fights with De la hoya, mayweather, mosley or Cotto - so he will have to vacate.

Preme, you automatically assume that Hatton should step up to 147. As far as im concerned Hatton has learned his lesson and 140 is where it shall be at for the time being...

The 4 fighters you mentioned cannot or refuse to fight at 140...why should Hatton break his obvious limits to make fights beyond what he is naturally capable of doing and doing well?

Ricky needs to make up his mind. I think that the only reason that he's worried about N'Dou is because if he doesn't fight N'Dou, Witter will find a way to get N'Dou in a unification match, and if Junior wins then he will hold the two major belts for the division and technically he'd be the unified champion at 140. Which means that Witter will only get bigger and those two guys hate each other. As long as Ricky holds a belt at 140 then he's screwing Witter, but once Witter becomes the unified champ of the division, Witter's callouts of Hatton will actually mean something. Witter can start making some big fights and bigger money, and Ricky doesn't want that because he hates Witter. Ricky needs to realize that when you're 43-0 or whatever he is, you shouldn't be worried about trinkets anymore, now you should be worried about making the biggest fights possible in terms of P4P. But to be honest, I really don't see why Hatton hasn't faced Witter yet, is it really about Hatton not wanting to give Junior his biggest payday, or could it be that Hatton is scared?

Witter may be down the line. Hatton has bigger fish to fry for now. No need to be shooting guns too quickly! ;D

The only names coming out of Hatton's mouth right now should be Witter, Mayweather, and Cotto, oh yeah, and Castillo. Seriously, Ricky needs to step up his competition a bit, he's been eating off of that Tszyu win for like two years now, great win, it's time to move on to bigger and better things. I still don't understand why Hatton isn't going mad for the Mayweather fight. Mayweather will fight in May, Hatton fights in June. Megafight in the late fall 2007. Hatton better stop being so tenative because I feel like this is our last chance to see the PBF - Hatton fight, if it's not made for the fall, Mayweather will fight Mosley, then Spinks, and then retire for real.

Are you trying to quote me there?

Oops. Thanks for the catch.

Just playing with ya! ;D :coolclick:

I really believe Hatton is toast, he has not come on at all since the Tszyu fight and maybe that fight took a lot more out of him than first thought. The big money is at Welter and he looked very sluggish against Collazo who was out of his league against Mosley. Mayweather will never fight Hatton at 140 and i think Cotto would stop him. I think Ricky will stay at 140 and fight the chumps down there.
Any move to 147 against any of the elite would be disastrous for Hatton.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if N'dou beats him.

Can't we just wait and see what actually happens in the future before slating the guy again? He is fighting Castillo after all, and the speculation about that fight being replaced with one against N'Dou was just that, speculation. Alot of people were slating Hatton for something he hadn't even done. Maybe after the Castillo fight we can talk about some of the points you're making, but really, is Castillo better than Witter? That's a no brainer for me. Is Hatton fighting the best left in his division? Yes. Is a Witter fight ever going to be a big money fight? Unlikely

So far, he hasn't really done anything wrong in that respect. If he does beat Castillo, then he will move up a division, unless the Castillo fight is spectacular and very tight, in which case we may see a rematch. After Castillo there is only Witter left, and as I have said, I don't see that happening. The challenges and the money will be in the 147 division. Say what you want about Hatton, but he is not a coward and he is confident.

Oh, and to talk about Cotto as the next coming after one fight against mediocre opposition is lunacy. He's hardly proven to say the least. But a spectacular win is all that counts right. ::**

Whom ever wins wether it's Hatton or JLC.... IMO the winner should face N'dou... and then the winner of that fight vs. either D-Hop or Holt....

I hope witter unifies the belts and then gets to call the shots because Ricky's running scared he's had so long to prove otherwise but chose to fight urango's and struggle with them instead.
