I'm sure you heard most 'experts' all agree, the type of fighter hatton is he only has 1-3 years left in him. So why spend half of that time going through aload of crap to fight a guy, who could get knocked out, beaten badly, injured in that time and render the hatton re-match a waste of time, waste of money and a possible loss of titles he cuda picked up fighting at light welter

IF ricky was staying at Welter then yes, if he said he wouldn't fight him - then agreed it would be a duck.

The move he is making now is the best move for him self, and in the sport you gotta look after #1 before anything else.
I did wonder if Collazo would be as eager to rematch if Hatton vacated the belt to avoid Urkal.
