im disappointed with hatton.

hes got a 3 fight schedule with hbo that was originally designed to end with a hatton/pbf mega fight (according to ring magazine august issue)and the first fight was with collazo, and hes gonna waste #2 on urango.

the only remotely big fight at 140 would be with jlc, so that could be #3

theres other fights that would be good at 140, but i dont see many being mega fights like hbo wanted.

i gotta hunch that hattons gonna be a showtime fighter by early next year

Not only that, but his most recent victory, against Ben Rahbah was a complete robbery (as has been mentioned). I watched it back when it aired on FNF and Rahbah was seriously boxing circles around Urango and urango didnt connect with ANYTHING but air 99% of the time. Think of Peter-Toney; except Urango connected with FAR fewer punches than Peter did and never hurt Rabah. Urango-Rabah was a true robbery.

I think Hatton peaked vs. Tszyu and will never be able to perform on that level again. He'll be able to do better than he did against Collazo, but I think it's really pathetic to take on Urango..that's really reaching towards the bottom of the barrel and he should be really be fighting better opponents. He's wasting his potential and his fans time. Most of the big names have moved up to 147 anyways other than and hatton has proved that he wont be able to compete on that level with any of the top 10.

I agree about the 140 competition that is available, I wouldn't mind seeing him face Junior Witter or D-hop,
I would think that either of those would be bigger draws than Urango. Of course JLC would be the biggest
And then he could say he beat the man that beat PBF (if he won of course)

Dude, pbf-jlc I was a close fight and saying that pbf straight out lost is nonsense. PBF won definitively in the rematch anyways.

I do agree though unless Hatton does a complete 180 that fighting castillo is the closet he's ever going to get to Floyd
