this is the biggest load of S*** i have actually heard. just read it and think to yourself do you actually know anyting about the 140 or 147 devision? Castillo was the top man apart from Hatton to beat at 140 and hatton stopped him in 4. How is fighting Judah at 147 going to do much? it wouldnt prove anything, Judah is on a bad losing streak and he would get beaten by Ricky. PM would also be outworked by Hatton, he needs to get some expereince at the top and get some decent names on his record before he even gets considered to fight the best at 140. But i believe Hatton doesnt even have to get to 140 now, because he has done the right thing and showed us all he has bottle and wants the best and he will stay at 147 now and fight the best.

What do you mean Castillo poses no remebelence to Floyd at all, fighting Judah or Paulie would have got him better adjusted to guys with speed and decent movement i dont understand how you can say what i said is a load of S***. No way was Castillo 2nd best 140 fighter he came from 135 and struggled. I never said Judah or Paulie would have beat Hatton i said as a tune up they would have better prepared him for the fight.
Castillo has a more of a name than PM or ZJ. Judah was on a bad losing streak and PM is a nobody at this stage of hattons carrer. The Castillo fight had to happen and it happend at a good time for Ricky because he proved yet again he is the best at 140. When you look at the devision i actually still do believe that Castillo even after the Hatton loss is still ranked 2nd and i would favour him to beat anybody at 140. Even PM or Witter. I just dont see how you can come out with a statement that even if he tryed x3 as hard as he did against tszyu he would still struggle, realistically he would stop him in the first round if he tryed that hard.

My point is this, how can a fighter of Ricky Hattons class who is a 2-weight world champion 43-0 be looked over and FM is greatly underestimating him, it just doest make sense at all. Hatton has this burning desire to win this fight, this is something that FM is lacking. Im scared for FM in this respect because RH is going to be the hardest fight of his carrer so far, and if he takes his foot of the gas remotly he is getting KTFO!!!!
