Ricky vs. Lazcano

[Fenster]

The General Public now see Hatton as a fellow who made a lot of noise before getting Knocked out by Floyd Mayweather.
In their eyes a KO win over Lazcano will be a step toward redemption.

And you know as well

You accept Lazcano, right donny?

Look what Hatton's people say about the fight -

"if we only get 20,000 fans through the gate we'll admit we were wrong. But Ricky transcends boxing, so that isn't going to happen"

They're calling the people that accept this fight MUGS. Are they not?

How many more fights is Ricky going to have before he retires i thought he said someting like five more.

well theres the 4 champs at 140lbs + PAC and Juan Diaz so i dont see why hes scraping the barrel for opponants.

. But Ricky transcends boxing, so that isn't going to happen

lol there basically saying we know Lazcano aint s**t but because Ricky is so big he can fight these bums and we know (these fools) i mean fan will pay to watch it and order it on boxoffice lol

So you're not going to watch the fight?

[killersheep]

I personally will only watch this fight if there is something special on the undercard, (like Witter vs. Malignaggi)

The Ring - # 7
Boxrec - Unrated (over a year of inactivity)

Well at least "The Ring" thinks highly of Lazcano, I don't see how he is rated at #7 still though since his only fight in the last 20 months was a loss. And before that he was simply walking on stepping stones.

I think that as far as take it easy fights are concerned this is too far of a step down. Ricardo Torres is a good choice, Kendall Holt is also a good choice, Vivian Harris, Herman Ngoudjo, Challenge Zab Judah to comeback to 140, Edner Cherry, personally I think those are all better choices.

[CutMeMick]

I'll be honest I have no issues with the opponent because ALL THE BIG fighters do this after a loss. Could it have been a more prominent name?
Yes.

You guys know what fight I would have liked Hatton to take?
vs. Huerta. That dude right there would give Hatton all he could handle.
