If Hattton beats castillo, What next?????

[bzkfn]

granted mayweather is a different class, he's a freak of his generation.. but if anyone has a chance of beating him at LWelter and welter its mosley and hatton (still think hatton would take a punishment).

if PBF retires he's left a lot of unanswered questions, he wants to be remembered as one of the greatest, a great wouldnt quit with the fights to be made and questions to be answered.

he even said he would come to manchester and fight ricky in his own back yard and beat his fat a** (or something like that). cant see him living up to his word thou.

I read that too. I think Floyd is just being a mouth. I doubt he'll fight Hatton.

I too think Ricky will take a decision, but it should be a great fight. I personally doubt Ricky will take on Witter at any point. I've never rated Witter, he lacks the talent to be a truly world class fighter.

Although he lost his last fight, I believe Hatton will face Corrales after Castillo. He's a big name and it's a fight Ricky can win by KO. It'd be the only fight left at light-welter really, after Corrales said he would drop down after the mauling by Clottey.

Corrales is done after loosing to clottey..And cannot make light welter weight anyway..

I think not strait away but down the line hatton will get a big fight with paulie maligniggi..
Malignaggi's rep is building ..He will soon be the ibf champ..

But the next fight for ricky imo is not witter.. I say witter looses the title to viv harris who is his mandatory and hatton and harris will fight .. Plus the wbc tends to be a little better with theyr mandatory challengers so hatton is unlikely to drop the title without a couple of defenses..
I mean vivian harris aint all that bad for a mandatory challenger in all fairness!

I can see hatton fighting torred..That would be an exciting fight...

But of course..If it could happen..Then we all know the ideal next fight would be mayweather!

That would be another Gatti-Mayweather IMO.....Hatton needs to stay as far away from PBF as possible....Collazo beat him...PBF would destroy him....

Not that I think Hatton would beat PBF, but it would much more competive than the Gatti fight. Ricky is younger, faster, and a better boxer than Gatti. The fight would look more like the 2nd Castillo fight.

Im currently in ausi at the moment, bak in a month so havent seen the fhm interview, sounds like interesting stuff. like Calzaghe i feel RH should be facing A class oppents from here on in. After the collazo fight theres no doubt RH knew how close he woz to a loss, so you have got to ask questions if he could become no. 1 welter-weight in the world. The boys gona have to take some serious risks if gona get to where he really wants to be. although i can see RH losing a fight at welter and think he's gona shock a few people along the way. Who do you think RH could not beat hands down at welter?

I think if Paul Williams gets by Tony, I think Williams would be to much for Hatton and then again if Tony wins that another one I think would beat hatton. Other than those two guys prevoisly mentioned and Mosley I think Hatton and do pretty good at welter. I don't think Malignagi (sp) is ready for someone like Hatton yet, he needs a few more good oppenents before we can say he's ready.

Why do people rate Margarito so highly? I don't get it. Hatton would ruin him, as would Cotto. I can't wait until Williams beats him and people stop over-hyping this guy.

Pauli is climbing isn't he....nothing like fighting a middleweight to boost you up!! man has heart and would dance around Hatton all night long...and after the Cotto fight I honestly don't think Hatton can hurt Paulie....

All your really trying to say is to the tune of triumphant music : "America.. F*CK YEAHHHH" Your the biggest xenophobe I know on this forum, your even worse than Lyle. How can you even think for a second that Malignaggi is anything close to having a chance against Hatton. He wouldn't be as you say 'dancing' around Hatton, it'd be more like running for his life. Oh and when you say he faught "A middleweight" in Cotto, while he may have been heavier than 140 in the ring, he was also ethopian looking, and highly weight drained, an absolute shell of his true ability and much more beatable than he is now.

[bzkfn]

Malignaggi has potentional, but is not ready for a fight with Hatton. Can anyone name a British fighter that Americans actually have praise for?

[RozzySean]

Hatton and Calzaghe get plenty of love in America and they both get plenty of respect my most americans on this board. Don't judge a nation based the people who name themselves after bad marinara

Cc Big my man Gotta be reppin' magic man paulie!

But for the record.. Hatton won on one point :P Zee knockdown..

I know all too well that hatton can box .. And just as well my man paulie is slick as greased lightnin and takes a hell of a lick..

And paulie will beat ndou..Be world champ, and by the time hatton has run out of opponents or is struggling..As i am to think he is a credible opponent at light welter.. Then paulie will have a big enough name to have a superfight with ricky..

Dont get me wrong i want that fight strait after cotto.. But i also want it to be big as possible..
And the world arent nearly aware of paulie like they should be!..

But changing subject..After paulie wins the ibf title.. I want to see him face harris, lazcano, Forbes! That'd be a great fight..And D-hop!

Those are all good fights for ricky too!
Peace

[bzkfn]

Hatton was all signed up to fight Lazcano when he injured himself and instead Ricky moved up for Collazo. I would like to see him fight Lazcano, but it's unlikely after Harris beat Lazcano last time out.

I know bro it was very much directed at the man who names himself after bad tomato based, italian derived sauce.

[althetruthhindley]

iD like to see Ricky fight Mayweather if he beats Catillo and to be honest that is an IF ,
I make it a 50/50 fight but will be rooting for Hatton as im from manchester to and like him or loath him Ricky is a honest good guy

Ohhh that burns dan!! It burns! lol..

Dont get so testy bro.. Who knows what happens paulie - hatton..

Of course paulie is the massive underdog.. And sure cotto didnt check his body.. Which is the wildcard from hatton..

But you cant downplay how good a fighter malignaggi is! Dude you must agree he is highly skilled takes a lick and three quarters and will fight anyone.. He fought miguel cotto in his first title shot!
Thats something.. and it was a good fight..
Like i said..I know for a fact hatton can box.. And its plain interesting to match the two up..
I mean .. What was tito's last fight at 154 cos he just couldnt make it anymore?! Vargas and he was powerful and on the ball.. Cotto wasnt exactly starved of all skill .. He met a good fighter and came through.. You canni downplay that.. Big props to mailgnaggi and of course bigger props to cotto..

[yoitsdan]

I love Malignaggi, I think he's excellent but I just think Hatton is all wrong for him, Malignaggi lacks the muscle on the inside to deal with high output pressure, I think after Castillo and Hatton he's the best of the rest at 140 though, I'd love to see him go in there and beat Junior Witter, I'd be cheering him on if he faught in the UK.

[Tysonbruno]

Hatton should'nt be fighting Castillo he should be fighting young hungry big names Castillo is past it in my opinion Witter would have been a good option he is fighting Harris next Harris is higher ranked in most lightwelter top tens than Castillo if Hatton is'nt careful Witter will pass him in the ratings fighting better opponents Hattons just fighting Castillo the name the fighter is done

I dont know where to start... Your wrong..Thats a start...

Castillo sparks any of them espeeeecciiialllyy witter.. You'll see when the fight comes..

Witter passing hatton in rankings means nothing.. Everybody knows witter is nothing..A boring scrappy ingles fighter who masturbates over the thought of a big fight with hatton thats just not happening..
He wants these big fights but hasnt even made it out of his front door bieng britain to even begin to impress the american public..
And if he wanted it that bad..He would have picked up on that already!

In fact i doubt witter will get past harris in all fairness
