Theres some strange comments on this thread for sure.
1. Why doesnt Hatton go to Welterweight? Well the answer is because he is a lightwelterweight fighter not a welterweight fighter - that is his fighting weight! You could just as easily say why dont the others come down to light-welterweight to fight Hatton, or why did they move up when they hadnt fought him yet
2. Choice of fighter at Lieght Welterweight - we all agree LW scene isnt as good as it was at all - but given that is Ricky's division, surely everyone agrees that Castillo is the most difficult opponent. Hes not a blown up lightweight - he failed to make that weight more than once.
Theres noone Ricky wants more than Cotto and Mayweather - but it was them that moved away from the divison, not him!
