It's a mandatory. He's just had 3 fights for 3 different world titles, it's only fair he has to make at least one obligatory defense.

Personally I think it's good that there are sanctions to enforce champions defend against their mandatories. Ok so it may seem like a temporary step back for Hatton but to just dismiss mandatory title defenses devalues the belts and ultimately the sport.

Plus Ricky deserves a slightly easier ride after 3 hard fights.
He keeps on saying that he wants the super fights but this is no super fight is it?
He should he moving back down not stopping up at welter.If Collazo was a big puncher Hatton would of been ko'ed.If he faces a big puncher he will be in trouble!
exactly. step down a while but fight 3 or 4 fights a year...otherwise keep it real...

urkal is not keeping it real....
