And as for my boy Cotto,no way would PBF run from him!Cotto was and is still learning,getting better,give him a year or so and he will be able to give Floyd a tough fight.
I don't recall Floyd showing interest in fighting Hatton until he saw him struggle against Collazo. Now he can't keep his name out his mouth.
UH no Floyds people offered to fight Hatton way before the Collazo fight and Hattons people said Ricky wasnt ready and they offered after the Collazo fight and they still would not take the fight
At least Hatton is honest. You really think Ricky is scared of fighting Floyd? or is it more likely a business decision to get more exposure in the states, don't forget he has a 3 fight deal with HBO.
Good post bro ! Its all business , the reality is no top pro fighter is afraid of anyone. I can promise you this, now the guys in charge of the business side will be hesitant to put their fighters at risk unless the money appeals.. "the risk reward ratio" as its called. But I can assure you that no top fighter is a afraid to fight anyone. if the fighters were in charge of the match making we would have some great match-ups.. but that’s not how it works. the reality is the fighters fight who there told to fight with few exceptions. its about making that money, in boxing you don't get better with age, so you got to hit the green pastures before your time is up.
