The current haters are ten a plenty at the mo, sad really as hatton is one of the few boxers in the world at the moment who can win a genuine world title without being completely on song.


I would not go that far....And I also would not pick Hatton over a Prime Castillo....He beat a shop worn version that was obvious did not really want the fight to begin with....I liike Ricky but he is not as good as you are stating....Many guys in the game that would beat him P4P.....Even at 140 I still say Malignaggi outpoints him....

Castillo took the fight having just come off wins against corrales and ngoudjo. Nobody before the fight questioned his desire to be in the ring with hatton it was only after seeing him out classed by a better opponent and stopped through a beaut of a kidney shot that people began coming up with this ridiculous assesment that jose had just suddenly lost the hunger to win the exact same assesment people came to the same conclusion with when he beat tszyu despite the fact hatton walked through kostyas best punches that night.

Hatton can only beat what is ever infront of him and apart from the P4P king he has done that all his career.

corrales on the other hand - knocked out by castillo outboxed by casamayor and beaten in his final fight by some guy whos name i cant even remember!!
