But what Hatton feels right ill support him to the end.

140 is his for the taking and we know this. As for oppanants that is a big question that needs adressing. There is that many big names that would make Hatton's name stand out if he beat them. I feel that he has gone to 140 for the easy option but don't get me wrong there are some intresing fights to be made.

Urango imo is a better choice for Hatton. The guy is a world champion and is undeafted. I know he can be questioned as a champion but at the end of the day he is walking in the ring with Hatton's belt. I can't see this being a difficult fight but i dont want Hatton to feel now he has gone back to 140 he is superman. He isn't superman and this guy is more than capable of causing Ricky problems. But if all goes to plan etc etc i feel it should be a win for Hatton by a stoppage because im sure this guy hasnt felt power like Hatton's to the body. But i don't want Hatton to get careless because we know this guy is a major underdog and he would have done his homework on him.

As for the future of Ricky i feel that 3-4 big names could be settled with at 140. I want to see Ricky fight Castillo, Corrales , Witter and finally hopkins. After that he should go to 147 again if not sooner and make some money!


CC for you wack!
Why does everyone seem to think Hatton under-estimated Collazo? Just because it was a tough fight? He knew it was going to be tough. What did he do in training that makes you think he under-estimated him?

Why do you want to see hatton fight Hopkins? Hopkins is on about moving upto heavyweight for maskaev and you want him to be fightin Hatton? Bit weird.
He did underestimate luiz like i did. I aint even heard of the guy before the fight. he didnt have a full training camp he was going into the wild and he was unprepared and he had a bad night on the night. He didnt take him fully and im sure he said that after the fight as well.

i ment DHOP bro
