Hatton v Mayweather Rematch - Father against son

atschnononono

Close Fight = Rematch
Knock Out = No Rematch.

Its simple really

 

The BHOP/JC fight was close and there is reason to believe that the outcome of a rematch may go in Hopkin's favor - thats why I along with ALOT of boxing fans want a rematch. So please don't say no one when in actuality its JC fans that dont want it.

Whereas the Mayweather/Hatton fight wasnt even close and there is no reason to think a second fight will produce a different outcome. Mayweather has plenty of other options out there and Hatton shouldnt be one of them. Taking a rematch with Hatton does nothing for his legacy.

 

BTW - Just to ilustrate my point. I am a big Jones fan but am i calling for a Jones/JC rematch? No, because i would be out of my mind to think that the outcome would be any different the second time around. JC is scared and so are his fans of Hopkins - and they have reason to be.

 

honestly mate that is ridiculous&wrong on so many counts.

how many rematches have there been of fights that ended in k.o's.

 

heres that story:i was told wrong,a contract HASNT been drawn up but contact has been made.

Ricky's revenge mission
Exclusive by Stuart Brennan

March 25, 2009

RICKY Hatton is lining up a revenge match with rival Floyd Mayweather Junior at Wembley Stadium next summer.

Contact has already been made between the US promoters Golden Boy and Mayweather's agent Leonard Ellerbe.

And if Hatton can beat Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2, it will set up a rematch with the only man to have beaten him as a professional. And next time, if he has wrested the pound-for-pound world title from Pacquiao, Hatton would insist on home advantage - and that the fight be at his favoured light-welterweight rather than at the welterweight limit at which he tasted defeat.

And in a shock turnaround, Hatton's trainer Floyd senior says he WOULD work the Hitman's corner, even against his own son.

There are obstacles to overcome before serious planning can begin.

Hatton must first beat Pacquiao, while Mayweather faces a possible clash with Juan Manuel Marquez. But Hatton Promotions chief executive Gareth Williams confirmed that the wheels are already in motion.

Crowd

"It is still not official that Floyd is out of retirement yet, but Ricky has made it plain it is a fight he would love," said Williams. "I speak to Richard Schaeffer on a weekly basis, and he has already been in touch with Mayweather's people about this.

"This time we would want to look at the weight the fight was made at, because Ricky has made it clear that he sees himself as a 140-pound fighter.

"He has also made it plain that he wants it in front of a large crowd at a big venue in the UK. When Ricky beats Pacquiao he will rightly lay claim to being the best fighter in the world, which puts him in a very good bargaining position."

Mayweather senior has told Hatton before that he would not work the corner against his son, but has changed his mind.

"If Ricky fights my son I will be in Ricky's corner," he said. "The fight will be different if they meet again, because Ricky is a much better fighter."

 

There have been and i agree with some. However, this fight wasnt even close and as i mentioned in another post, Hatton gave us nothing to think that a rematch would produce different results. If the fight was competative up until the KO, then maybe a rematch is warranted but that wasnt the case.

 

the rematch will be an easy sell tho,because they will bring up the cortez factor,the weight etc etc...regardless of whether they affected the outcome or not.

 

Man you guys really want Hatton to get KTFO again? Trust me, the first time was NO fluke...:deal

 

Sure it will be, especially if they fight in England. That still doesn't make it right.

 

you know as well as i do,being right has nothing to do with it.

 

I think Floyd Sr. already said he won't train Hatton if he were to rematch PBF.

 

of course id like hatton to beat mayweather,even if its not likely,hatton deserves respect for being willing to step up against floyd again regardless.

 

Yes I agree. Unlike JC, Hatton wants to fight the best. That's why i like him as Boxing fan. :good

 

i can respect that.:good
