Beristain: "There is a big possibility the Hatton/Marquez fight will happen"

It's a good fight to make.

 

doesnt really interest me

 

Would honestly rather see Marquez fight Katsidis or Valero. Resume wise he has little to gain from Hatton and the other two are more stylistically appealing fights, Katsidis is always entertaining and Valero is an unknown quantity. Personally I think Marquez stops both but he deserves an easier nights work IMO

 

Hmmm... Id rather Hatton packed it in personally.

But this does sound like a reasonable matchup, on paper. Hatton should have a size advantage to compensate for the fact he is way past his best.

The best fight out there for Hatton I think in terms of kudos, money and winnability.

 

Marquez by round 1 KO with a feather duster.

Should be entertaining.

 

Hatton way past his best? based on what?
I coulda sworn a lot of journos and huggers alike were saying he looked better than ever against Paulie...which was what...well under a year ago, and was gonna be too big and strong for Pac.

Not shot.....more like exposed repeatedly as his level of comp. went up. Give it a rest with this 'Hatton's shot' excuse.

 

hatton gets knocked out in this fight, bad style for him against one of the best counter punchers in the sport

 

As a JMM fan, I agree. This fight does absolutely nothing for JMM's legacy, IMO, and isn't the best next step for either fighter. That said, if the fight does get made over here then I think I'll have to dip into my savings. No chance in hell I'd miss this if it took place over here.

 

Bettys found pretty much the only pressure fighter in the history of boxing who is as good at 30 as he was at 26.

 

Should Hatton come back he needs to get Kerry Kayes back on board as his conditioner... was just looking at the Pacquiao and the Mayweather weigh in pictures and Hatton looks like a different guy completely. Granted Pacquiao's power has moved up with the weight classes but Rickys punch resistance surely hasnt diminished to virtually nothing
