But he talks crap..How has hatton ducked him..When casamayor was never an option to fight before..This is the only mention of wanting to fight hatton..

Let hatton fight him..Hatton wont loose

He never said hatton ducked him, he was talking about the ABC wanna-be's at lightweight.

My mistake

I skipped a line when i read it..It read something along the lines of..They are men..And have ducked me.. I put the bad english down to him being brazilian..Lol But no..i skipped an entire line..Lol

Isn't he from Cuba?

Let him and Mayweather exchange unpleasentries for the next few months until the fight is signed after colossal build up

Looks like we might be getting it all signed up soon, I just hope Floyd lives up to all this talk cos Hatton will fight him, and beat his ass too.

I'd just add this: Casamayor is getting up in age, and did not look terribly impressive against a completely shot Chico in his last fight. Yes, that fight was for the championship, and yes, Casamayor does not have the brawler-type style of Chico or JLC that makes guys get old overnight, but this fight would just set up more "so what, hatton beat a shot fighter who was in his prime nearly ten years ago" commentary. Let Casamayor get Juan Diaz in the ring--he deserves that fight as LW champ. And let Hatton fight a younger guy in his prime, like Paulie or the winner of Torres/Holt.

Dam man,thats 3 times I've said this in 2 days:excellent post. I agree,I think it is a lose lose situation for Ricky and I HIGHLY doubt he would take this fight. Although I think it would be an excellent clash of styles,as you stated,Hatton would not get any credit for winning. He is better off fighting Paulie at 40,Floyd/Cotto at 147.

Casamayor is a total waste of time.

The money's gonna be in Cotto & Floyd & Hatton will have to move up & give away some of his natural advantages.

I've always had huge respect for Joel Casamayor but Hatton is the wrong fight at the wrong time.

i personally think hatton dominate

Slight advantage for Casa.

Not quite sure how Casamayor is naturally bigger or can match Hatton's strength

Anyway, was anybody that impressed by Casa in the last Chico fight, Chico looked like a zombie. Casamayor did well enough to get the win but it wasn't that impressive to me. At this point in time I don't see how he would be able to match up with Hatton's strength and workrate. A better fight would be Juan Diaz.

Everybody wants a piece of Floyd's azz, wonder why dat is

Casamayor can be the scape path and still a good payday for Hatton! Ricky should think it over and don't commit suicide into the 147 lbs division, he has time to adjust and must outsmart Floyd's provocation and deadlines or else he's done - only Roberto Duran slugged his way in against a slick flashy better boxer in Ray Leonard in the Brawl in Montreal, Ricky can't do it and his career will be tarnished with no way back to the spotlight, take on Casamayor for now, Ricky!
