Why would Hatton in his right mind take a fight at a point in his career when he didn't believe he could win? I'm sorry, but some of you guys are just strangely opinionated. Hatton has given himself a few years to develop into a fighter that he believes is capable of beating Mayweather. Why begrudge him this? He may have avoided Mayweather a few years ago (although I have read an interview with Ray Hatton that claimed the delay was agreed upon with team Mayweather to deliver the fight fans would want to see), but now he feels ready and has stepped up to the plate so I believe at least the ducking bull should now be left at the door. Mayweather is still at his peak, Ricky is at his peak, can't we just be happy about this. Ricky Hatton 2 years ago would not have been prime at 147, he is now, end of story.
