Ray Hatton's statement seems to rule out the possibility of a Hatton-Mayweather fight this year, with New York's Paulie Malignaggi, the WBA light-welterweight champion, still most likely to get the Hatton engagement.

The Hatton camp know Mayweather is never going to come down to 140. They're ducking him. Maybe they're ducking because they think they can make more money with alternative fights, that's the most charitable way of looking at this. I wonder what PBF will have to say about it.
Here we go again with stupid accusations of ducking..

Ray is not in the hatton camp..He is Ricks dad

And Both billy graham and ricky himself say that they will make 147 should they need to..

This is just a plot to try get him to 140..Why wouldnt they want it there if they could











I agree I do not believe that Hatton is ducking Floyd but I do believe that he is trying too make this to his best advantage....Ricky could not duck Floyd now if he wanted to....If he refused the fight now his credibility would be shot as a fighter and he would never be taken serious again...Untill Hatton actually refuses to fight I or anyone else can not say Hatton is ducking him...Though it is a shady move to try and force the fight to 140....
