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

[yoitsdan]

One thing though that I find annoying is that Mayweather at the time he was training for Gatti, he claimed he would have faught Kostya Tszyu but waiting out for Hatton was worth more money. In the same interview (well more like floyd sounding off) he says he respects Kostya because he goes to people's hometowns and gets the job done, thats why he wants to fight him so bad. Boy times change huh, Gatti, Mitchell, Judah and Baldozar later and somehow Floyd is fighting Oscar De La Hoya. Thats good marketing folks.

LMao,that is dam true!!

Hatton is in a difficult situation after the JLC fight and its his own fault.Asking Lil Floyd's camp fpr $13million is a ridiculous and ludicrous demand. Unless he is willing to lower that substantially,he wont get to fight Floyd(or Floyd mya just retire after Oscar anyway). A move to 147 to fight Cotto is th best move $$$ wise. He'll lose though His style is not effective at 147,the guys are just too big and strong. Guys like Margarito would annihilate him.

a possible fight with mayweather or mosley something like that

Why do people think Antonio Margarito is so good? I really don't get that. Hatton would slap the piss outta him, Cotto would slap the piss outta him, but neither of them two fights will happen when Williams beats him and the guy goes to being nothing. Seriously, who has Margarito beaten to deserve a fight with Mayweather? People say Hatton has failed to impress lately, yet those same people are still raving about Margarito when he struggled against Clottey. It just pisses me off.

Hatton shouldn't bother fighting Witter. He'd beat him and gain nothing. He'd just get criticised for taking an easy fight. It's a pointless fight. He'll end up fighting Corrales I think, and while he's on the downhill, it's still a name taken, and people would pay to see it.

People keep saying Hatton should'nt fight Witter he would'nt gain anything if he won end of the day what did he gain from fighting Maussa,Collazo and Urango apart from world titles Witter is better than these and i can't see that he will gain much by fighting Castillo he's a big name but a faded one even boxing world mag said he would have been better off fighting Witter other than Castillo

Hatton wants to become a legend. You only be remembered in this sport for beating names. Witter hasn't beaten anyone and isn't a name. Castillo has. Faded or not, it'd still be a name. I agree that he shouldn't have fought Urango though. I looked at that guy and just thought he would be too big for Ricky to knock down. As it turned out, all he could do was take a punch. Silly fight, but nobody wants to fight Ricky.

Witter wants Ricky and like Urango held a title he could of fought him and a legend how can he do that he's only fought 2 decent names both past it Tyszu and Castillo

[cockey cockney]

Hmmmm id much rather see him move up and take the biggest fights. If he loses then like he says at least he lost to the best, rather that then see him fight decent fighters at 140.

I'm not sure about that. If a guy has a body and style that is made for 140, why should he move up to fight bigger men and lose? If he's going to move up in weight, it should be against someone with whom his style matches up well, ie Corrales at 147, and I don't think he gains anything from that.

I wouldn't be surprised see him fight Malignaggi...

No way Margorito annihilates him, Hatton would box his head off imo, if he goes in there in good shape Hatton would come out worst if he went in for a war but Hatton is a much better mover/boxer than Margorito imo he would box him for 12 rounds and win comfortably.

But the people who matter in this fight HBO dont want Witter they wanted Castillo, what evidence is he faded?? A sub standard showing against a guy who anyone would struggle to get up for?? He took Corrales out with a sweet left hook in his last big fight in three rounds, was Corrales stopped by the super middleweight ( on the night) Clotty, Castillo is far from faded and basing that on his shite performance against the last fight which was basically a sparring session to get him some ring time is very naive.

It makes me laugh 12 months ago people were saying i would be very impressed if Hatton fought Castillo, now its " hes figthing a lightweight" " Castillo is passed it " etc etc, it makes me laugh, if he was to fight Witter the same guys would be saying he should of fought Castillo!!!!

I don't think Hatton could make any big fight happen at 147 at this point and there is really no reason for any of the 147 title holders to come down to a catch weight.

Two fights for Hatton, that are most likely happen if he beats Castillo are Witter or D-Hop both at 140.

I think there's more chance of him fighting Corrales than Witter or D-hop. Seriously I think might be having his last fight at 140 in June, unless a big name comes down to 140.

I thought about this. I guess it could happen, but I can't see what Hatton would gain, other than $$, from beating Corrales at this point. Corrales is on a losing streak and most people think he's done. I'm one of the people who really hopes he retires and opens a restaurant (he went to culinary school). If Ricky beats Castillo in a close fight, he'll get a free pass from fans to take a fight against a lesser name if he wants. He can make some nice $$ to shut Witter's mouth and stay at home.

If Hatton were to destroy, I mean destroy, Castillo, he might put himself in a position to fight Mayweather or one of the big name WW's, but I just don't think that is going to happen.

Why does he need to destroy anyone when Gatti, Mitchell, Baldomir and Judah have all recently had a shot at Mayweather? Hatton clearly is too small to be a welterweight. His strengths don't stand out like they do at 140. He would have to rely a lot on pure boxing skills and that won't be good enough to get to the top of 147 with the likes of Mosely, Mayweather etc in and around that division. Stick to 140 because you never know, in a year or so it could become a hot division again. In the meantime there's Witter, Torres, Castillo and probably even Corrales which would all be pretty exciting.

Witter would beat Collazo?

I don't even think he would beat Urango.

I wouldn't sweat it Hatton wont beat Castillo it isn't going to happen Hatton should have taken some nobody like hes use to doing! ! !
