I don't get why people are so harsh on hatton for?

He beat kostya, ok one big name... he was then going to fight vivian Harris next except he got his ass handed to him by a total unknown calos maussa, is that hattons fault? how can it be... i bet most of you who question his opposition would of no quarms had he fought harris... but harris got beat so hatton did the next best thing and then BATTERD the guy who beat the guy.

He was then given the chance to fight the WBA WW champion on short notice, become a 2 weight champion, have some leverage should he decided to stay at WW... he done that, granted it wasn't his best performance, and he just scrapped a win, but every boxer is allowed one bad fight, right? Lets not forget, Hatton v Gatti was almost certain to happon untill gatti went and got him self stopped to a guy whos then only interest was Floyd mayweather...

Hatton's moved back down to fight for his old belt and set up a match with Castillo. Thats just the way it works, you honestly think ricky decides this shit? its HBO and his promos who sort this out. HBO know well and truly money ways its better to have them fight on the same card, get one or both of them a world title then make them fight...

what should hatton have done? given collazo a rematch, it would of answerd alot of questions, ture. But what then? had hatton beatean him people would still claim the only big name on his resume was kostya and he was past it, so he would still have to fight some ABC champ at LW to get a title to make a big match with the likes of castillo or corales...

As for hatton staying at WW to fight cotto, if he stayed at WW to fight he had to give, urkal or vacate his belt? i don't think either fighter would enter that fight without a belt on the line,
