Let me say this a lot of people (not you G) seem to be takin what I'm saying & running with it.

I think that Hatton looked a mess last night...I didn't say that that was the end for Hatton...I just said that after seeing him in with Collazo it lowered my overall expectations of him taking out Floyd as I thought he previously may have a chance of doing so.

Southpaw or not...if people thought Collazo made Hatton look bad...I think Floyd totally exposes him. Floyd may not have the power that Collazo had last night (but supposedly lacks against others in the past) then Floyd triples that lack of power with skills.

There may not be anyone like Collazo...but there are fighters superior to him...then again...only seen Collazo in one full fight & a few snippets.

Hatton needs time to grow...but again...all roads end at Floyd.

Ricky does not need to agree to a rematch because he beat him (Yeah he scraped through and the 8/10 first round helped him to do so) fair and square.
He's now got bigger fish to "Try" and fry.
All in all if im honest.... if Ricky does'nt start to train himself up to move his head way more and move side to side and get round these straight punches to utilise his own weapons,PBF will toy with him with ease
Ricky really is'nt a very boxer at all and got seriously exposed power wise last night.
Roughly the same fights as Mr Calzaghe and compare the faces of both fighters
Nuff said
smash.

Saying that Collazo deserves a rematch...well he does...he was the one with the strap & Hatton was on the move up & Collazo took Hatton the full 12 & he wasnt just lucky. Hatton strapped one on & rode Collazo hard...thing is...he broke it off & rode Hatton right back...Brokeback that is. Heh heh heh.

Anyways...I'd rather see Hatton take on an underling instead of a top dog right now...fwock it...throw him in with Gatti or Baldo & let him stop one of them...he can.

Alright kiddies...the big weekend is almost over...so off the sticky we go.

Cheers fellers...it was another good one.
