I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but......
Honestly, all of you who talked all that shat about Hatton being so good, now what is your excuse? Now do you think he can beat Oscar or Floyd? or even a top welter or Jr. middle? I thought that his size would make him an easy candidate? Tell me now what you think cuz Callazo was fookin' robbed!
Re: I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but.........................................
Their excuse is the weight, that Collazo was a southpaw, that Collazo is the second best welterweight in the world, and that Collazo htis harder then Mayweather and Judah.
All those excuses have been cited within the last 24 hours ;D

Collazo isn't even in the same level as PBF or Judah, so WTF do they mean?
Can someone please explain this to me? Collazo is not that good but yet he won the fight and got robbed wtf?
Re: I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but.........................................
Now Northside, who are you to talk about excuses? I remember plenty of Zab Judah discussions where every other post was an excuse.
Either way welcome back/
Re: I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but.........................................
I think Collazo's style caused Ricky problems more than anything else. Ricky didn't work like he usually does.
I take nothing away from Collazo but he lost.

Now what do you think about Hatton/Judah, Hatton/PBF or Hatton/DLH?

Judah - Tszyu ;)
Anyways, I think underestimating his opponent is a legit excuse in this case but I doubt you'll get Hatton to admit it.

OK
Hatton-Judah: this all depends on which Zab comes to fight. Zab COULD easily outpoint Ricky by staying on his bicycle and using his speed. BUT seeing how Zab "Lord of the Dance" Judah takes people lightly on a regular basis I see Ricky hurting him to the head and body and the ref stops the fight. But this could run the gammit from draw to Ricky via KO or Zab via KO. A GOOD match up of styles because Zab doesn't like pressure fighters and Ricky apparently doesn't like slick boxers.
Hatton-PBF: Right now or in the future I see PBF winning via TKO cuts. Now the crux of the fight is whether Ricky can land on Floyd, I think he's a longshot to KO PBF based on the wide punches he threw but also based on the work he USUALLY does inside I think he could KO Floyd if, IF he fights correctly. Worse comes to worse it's a boring fight with PBF jumping in and out landing at will and Ricky swinging for the fences.
Hatton-ODH: Biggest mismatch of the bunch. Ricky is trying to get used to 147 and ODH has been hit by Trinidad and Hopkins and he LOVES guys who try to brawl. Oscar wins via TKO just like vs Vargas or Mayorga but earlier.
The BEST matchups at this time are as follows.
Hatton-Gatti
Hatton-Cotto
Hatton-Baldomir
Re: I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but.........................................
Zab never used the excuse od underestimating Tszyu. Zab said himself that Tszyu caught him with a good shot and that he was hurt and didn't know what was going on so he takes his hat off to tszyu. it's like that incredible hulk thing he talked about before the fight he had went back to david banner ;)

your right I did have what you call excuses for that fight, but there sure was a reason Kostya never remtched, hhmmmmmm!
Re: I'm not bashing Ricky Hatton but.........................................
It's not that he SAYS he takes them lightly, he carries himself like he's taking those guys lightly. VS Tszyu, he has his hands down as always but backed up CARELESSLY (straight back) which Tszyu picked up on and BANG end of night for Zab. VS Spinks I he waited and waited and WAAAAITED to throw punches...it's almost like he thought Cory's head would magnetically attract his fists...he GAVE THAT FIGHT AWAY which really btohered me and then he had the GALL to talk shit about the decision....what a bastard
You can read Zab's body language JUST like Shane Mosley's...you can tell when they are beaten or when they will be beat.

I agree he did give away fights & looked lazy like he wasn't really into the sport

That hands down style was how Judah had always fought to that point. He did the same against ward and still won all but 1 round
