I'd like to see Hatton-Baldomir: I believe that Ricky can take the title!!!!

[ono]

Hatton should challenge Baldomir for the title and then go back down to 140 cuz he can't handle the welter's, but will do well at Jr. Welter!





WHAT DO YOU THINK

Cool click northside. Avnt seen ya on here in ages. Good point there thats his best chance at another title at welter altho he's prob best movin back down to fight either corrales or castillo or the winner of witter - corley.

I think Gatti will beat Baldomir and then Hatton will probably try for him but Gatti may very well end up fighting Cotto instead.

I agree 100%.

This is how I see it going... and they are all pick'em fights.

Hatton
Castillo > Hatton?
> Castillo
Corrales

Gatti > Hatton
> Gatti?
Baldomir
> Cotto
Cotto
> Cotto
Malignaggi


Imagine if we got Hatton v Castillo and Cotto v Gatti on the same card!!! set up as tourny.
If Hatton beats the shite out of Castillo then I would pick him over Floyd.

We're getting Castillo v. Cotto before Hatton gets either of them though, right? And I don't see Ricky beating Castillo. I hesitate to say it, since you're obviously the prediction King, but your question mark there assures me I'm not too out of line.

It depends who is going to make Arum the most money. He can always pit his 2 guys after Hatton, win or lose Castillo would probably be worth more after a Hatton fight anyway.

[p4pking]

Bob Arum said that Cotto Castillo is on, but if Gatti beats Baldomir and decides he want's Cotto after, Arum would have Cotto fight Gatti and then Castillo would be open to fight Hatton. That's the best case scenario for Ricky, imo... Otherwise he won't get any of these guys soon. He needs to just give Collazo a rematch.

Might Gatti not be available to Hatton if he doesn't call out Cotto (or if he loses; in which case might Baldomir also be available?)?

[The_One77]

explain the bets Cotto is a 4 to 1 fave?? or what?

Yes.

sportsodds, ladbrokes and stanjames have him at 8 to 1 favourite. More reputable sites like 5dimes, sportsbook and pinnacle have him around 4 to 1.

WTF!?
Are you serious? I thought Cotto would be the favourite, Paul is overrated.

I don't see the money in fighting hatton right now...Hatton needs to erase the doubters and give Collazo a rematch....If he wins the rematch then maybe he'll get the shot at bigger name fighters and the money ....otherwise I think they will leave him out of the loop because there is too much risk/reward going on.....

This is not specificcaly aimed at you bigragu but hatton doubters in general. I don't think it matters what he does. If he fought Collazzo again and steam rollered him my prediction is that Collazzo would be written off as a weak opponent and Ricky would still not have unanimous respect. There will always be doubters. Even Ali still has doubters (Lyle(purely an example))

There are just some people who will never like him, if he fought both Klitschkos and Lewis one after another in MSG an knocked them all out, there would still be people doubting him. It is the nature of the beast
