I don't believe for a second that Hatton himself fears these guys to be fair to him but he is being managed badly imo and i said long ago he should have gone the Golden Boy route.
He'd have been well looked after i reckon and if you wanna do well in the States then who better to join forces with than Oscars crew?
Im a big Hatton fan but can see why the majority of you are getting f*cked off with him.
And you've good reason.
We're the staunch fight fans on this planet and we deserve the big fights served up to us.
Don't really know what more to say to be honest and i feel angry i guess and let down.
Surely if he did a number on Castillo in his next fight he'd be first in line for a crack at Cotto or maybe even Floyd.
If you make the right moves and beat the top boys then you can literally force the very best (via public pressure) to fight you

You're right Smash i'm in same position as you. Feel let down in a way. Hope the Fight will be in UK tho, at least i could go to it. I still can't see how Cotto has risen above Hatton tho...Quintana is not as big a scalp as Tszyu or even Collazo. Hatton needs to look impressive again. BIG TIME
