Hatton and his fans, make up your minds!

Hasn't De La Hoya said he'll come down to 140. Personally I don't think he has a chance but that's what I hear and i'm sure PBF can get to 140.

 

Healy when your nation produces a boxer come back and conversate.

 

Maybe he dosent, but he said he will!

 

Yes, of course. You say why not fight Cotto, but why would he fight Cotto over Oscar or Pac? Would you? Would anyone? I certainly would not with the money he would be making and those fights would do more for his legacy anyway, less sensible match up or not. Fighters are in it for themselves and they're the ones risking their lives so why not just appreciate that. I would be more excited to see these fights anyway and so will most people.

 

at the end of the day fighters are in boxing for the $$$ so let it be, its their full time profession whats the big deal, everyone would do the same

 

Yes I would, I'm not saying the actual fight would be more exciting but it would be a huge global event and Hatton would be the underdog against a future HOF'er. Against Cotto he would just be in a very dangerous fight against someone who isn't even the number 1 in his division and not as big of a name so what's the point. What is wrong with a fighter taking the fight for the most money and against the bigger name when there is no other outstanding opponent? All fighters do it, and you would be mad not to.

 

Let's list some available opponents for Hatton.

Pacquiao
De La Hoya
Cotto
Torres
Witter
Bradley

In ten years time, who is gsoing to remember Torres, Bradley or Witter?
He should fight Pacquiao for both legacy and money.

 

Hatton has nothing for the elite welters.

Hatton and Pac have to decide who potentially rules 140 and under (JM Marquez).

 

i am a hatton fan, and this is how it is. hatton is willing to move up for big fights at 147 floyd rematch, odlh,pac.

but against real legit welters such as williams, marg and cotto he and his fans knw he has no chance, hatton is the best at 140 and under, but lets be honest there are not enough big fights down there?


hatton is carefully picking the big fights that are big, but still winnable, even though personally i think ODLH wins handily over hatton.


hatton is a good 140 fighter, not great. but there is noone great at 140 downwards. hatton will rule 140 for a few more years, but thats not anything to shout about:good

 

Are you serious here Healy? I know you've never stepped into the ring, but those pounds can make a difference especially at the elite level. If you outclass someone it doesn't matter much, but all other things being equal, it's a killer.

 

with a head that size I bet he was landing with every shot!
