Hatton to get $10,000,000 new 3 fight HBO deal if he beats Castillo

Aye, but you are a 'tongue in cheek' poster Rupert, so know one really knows if you are the real deal, or taking the ****.

Thats where we differ mate, Im a mad fan of scottish fighters & everyone knows it, whereas with you no-one quite knows your motives.

Now if I thought you were sincere & we had a bond going on? I would consider your offer, as I have a soft spot for the welsh, despite the two welsh posters here JC & North who are always whingeing about scots & arse licking the english. I believe they are the exception that proves the rule though.

Anyway, thats neither here nor there. I suppose I am saying that until we know the real China hand joe is, then I have to say "I respect the offer Noel, but NO deal", like I would do if I was on the show Deal or No Deal.

I hope you understand Rupat ma man:good

 

By the same token you shouldn't lump all 'Hatton fans' together under one description.

 

No worries Bigears my man, I just got upset cos I have said many times here that I would have picked Pacquiao to beat Scotty, cos pac is a ****in monster. However though, with the rest I think Scotty could have beaten them on his night, but its an old argument now consigned to the dustbin. The only reason i brought up the Hussein fight in the past was cos of the legions of harrison haters who said he wouldnt win a round against the top boys etc... I replied that Scotty knocked down Hussein when pac couldnt, so it was unfair to write Scotty off.

But, I dont want to dwell on Scotty, cos its deflecting from my original searching questions on what Hatton does after this fight, & I want to hear the Hatton fans give me some straight answers for a change.

 

I have to say if Hatton isn't matched with the winner of Witter v Harris I will be disappointed . Even one of the other 3 title holders wouldn't be enough for me .

Of course that is assuming Hatton wins , and with Jose Luis Castillo in his way that is by no means certain .

 

Why shouldnt I? Hatton fans are overwhelming, & I compare their behavioral patterns to a plague of locusts.

In short numbers they lie low & behave themselves, but when they all join together their behaviour changes & they destroy & devour everything in their path simply through weight of numbers.

Like whats happening in this thread.

 

Jeez, I think you need to lie down (or take more water with it).

 

I genuinely rate Joe Calzaghe as the best boxer of the last decade.

I believe everyone else in the world should at least rate him in the top 3 P4P fighters in the world today, to consider themselves reasonable.

 

I'm not even going to bother arguing against this rubbish

 

it's a pity that choice doesn't include being able to watch a half decent heavyweight.

 

Hatton was fantastic against Tyszu but its been all downhill since. Tyszu wasn't prime but was very good none the less.

Castillo starched Corrales 2 YEARS AGO. He hasn't done anything since, has been very innactive and honestly I had him losing his last fight against the African Canadian - who looked bad himself last time against Bailey.

So maybe Castillo is shot after been out the ring so long, being in so many wars, maybe he has 1 last huraah though

Castillo would be a good win but 2 big fights against aged but excellent fighters out of 40something fights isn't enough.

Hatton needs to face an elite fighter in their prime - Cotto, Mayweather or even Mosley/Witter

 

:-((

I will come back and read this if I have trouble sleeping later tonight.

 

Well said, sir, take a bow. My sentiments exactly. We can watch them, just not in the ring but on the gridiron.

 

Stop blaming football for the lack of a good American heavyweight .
Yes men can earn more playing football than being a boxer but how many of those football players ever boxed in the first case and even had to come to a decision about whether they wanted to box or play football . I suspect very few .

 

The reason why they never boxed in the first place is because of football. That's the point. The inflated salaries of football players and the # of players needed for football make it way more appetizing to the prospective athlete. It seems to be much more viable than boxing, so the choice is quite easy. Well, anyway, what's the UK's excuse?

 

Ya but people don't take up football when they're 21/22 , they do it when they're kids . Which in the main is the same as boxing , almost all proffesional athletes started doing their sports as kids . Now don't tell me little Johnny whateverthe****hisnameis at 8 years of age decided he wants to play football because he can earn more money in it . You could say because there aren't any gyms nearby or something like that , but that's a point that affects all boxers not just heavyweights .

As for the UK's excuse , don't ask me mate I'm not from there .
