Did Ricky Hatton avoid certain boxers?

You are a Glass Class Poster. :hi:

 

Like every fighther, Hatton avoided the smallest paycheck available...

True about mallinaggi and he leathered him. for 11 rounds.

 

:good Well said!!!

 

Hatton turned down fights with Witter, Judah, Corley and could have fought Mitchell/Harris for their titles if he didnt demand 70% of the purse. He also turned down the fight with Mayweather on 5occasions/dates prior to accepting it

Hatton did duck Witter like the plague for 10years 99-09. Outside of Tyszu(who was past it)/Mayweather/Pacqauio he fought trash and that includes a shot to pieces Castillo

 

:deal

most fighter do this these days, some call it ducking, some say its common sense.

 

Please dont qoute facts here. anecdotes based on myths are much better.

 

But Paulie didnt have the punch to bother him and isnt as tricky as made out, after winning his title he looked lucky in winning his 1st defence, and in beating Lovemore Ndou in his 2nd defence.

 

Ok..he got knocked out by Pac, who hits like a freak, and seems to keep hitting harder, he got knocked out by mayweather.. a guy who hits harder then many give him credit for...after 10 rounds of punishment...and on a perfect check hook that had hatton's own force combined with mayweathers punch..then he got wobbled twice by Lazcano in a fight he definitly won....once in the 8th, once in the 10..but he still won the fight aganst a guy who was 37 wins 4 losses and 27 knockouts..but yeah..he got wobbled twice, and he got wobbled when he BEAT..yes he BEAT the natural 147 pounder..and very good Collazo...so he has a glass chin by those standards.....and of course beating hard punchers like Kostya Tszyu, Juan Urango, and Jose Luis Castillo mean nothing, because they where shot or no good at all, like Urango...totally sucked....couldnt beat up my grandma..so yes...Hatton has a glass jaw.

 

Hatton ducked Witter, simple as. That fight could easily of been made at several stages in their respective careers. Witter wanted it but Hatton didn't. If that's not ducking then I don't know what is.

 

Again, this is a case where if he didn't fight every top ten fighter within 10 pounds of him, he ducked somebody.

He fought Castillo, he fought Tszyu, he fought Mayweather, he fought Pacman.


I have no problem is a fighter "ducks" a fighter to fight someone better.

this is ridiculous. I think Hatton is a very limited, over rated fighter, but he is not a ducker.

If you were British and privvy to Hattons career from a domestic perspective you'd know the accusations are factual and without any dispute.

 

:good
esp with all the Fatties that live on these boxing messege boards.
