You cannot accuse De La Hoya of being like the floyd of today. Oscar has took on some big challenges. He didn't need to take on flody in 2007. he could of went with more easier options for around the same money Mayorga was a big test after all that ring rust. He did't need to fight teh best middle in the world in Hopkins You could argue that he took on mosley and vargas at the right times yes but we weren't complaining when those fights were made In his prime, he also took on a prime tito, quartey and mosley. Mayweather in his early years wasn't afraid of a great challenge. He took on corrales (who was heavily favoured), castillo (twice), genaro hernandez (after a small amount of fights), angel mafredy (who was favoured by some to beat him)
Below are 3 criteria I would use to decide whether a rematch should take place: 1) The champion loses his title 2) It was a close contraversal dicision 3) It was an exciting all action fight In their first fight, Mayweather won convincingly and even stopped Hatton (which hardly anyone predicted). I saw nothing that night to think that any rematch would result in any other result other than an another easy night's work for Mayweather. This fight is purely about money as they know that if 55,000 lemmings are willing to pay to watch Hatton/Lazcano then they would easily get 100,000 for Mayweather. Everyone in boxing is asking for Mayweather/Cotto and Witter/Hatton. Until these fights happen I will not pay to watch either fighter take easy or money fights which ultimately prove nothing.
I meant that comparision in a different sense where hes basically a part time fighter. Besides Mayorga was by no means a big challenge and ive already given Hoya made props for his career up until 2004.
What has Hatton done to deserve a rematch with PBF ? NOTHING. How many times has Hatton said he is not good when fighting at 147 ? So why he want to rematch against PBF (at 147) rather than fighting the best at 140 ? You are another one of those Hatton shills ready to kiss his shitty ass. Hatton will never beat any half decent prime fighter at 147 let alone PBF.
Ok, doesn't answer my question, but I'll answer yours... Hatton's a name and he draws more than anyone in boxing... and that's all that PBF seems to want to fight these days. It's not difficult. And Hatton wants to fight the best, he's already the best at 140...
I hope Lazcano rips off his dirty stinking northern beads and shoves em down his throat. I cant stand the guy. Iv repeated the same mantra for years and now we have DEFINITIVE proof that Hatton wants no part of Witter. Why? Because his only interested in the money. He knows he can make easy money without damaging his reputation with his loyal fans.So rather than do the honourable thing which is to fight the best man in his division he`d rather talk **** and run away with his tails between his leg and then try and sell us a "World title" home coming bout against a former lightweight contender. Its farcical. How on earth can you claim to be the best light welter in the world when you WILL NOT face the best light welter in your own country and division. **** Hatton a thousand times and the pissy gravy train he rode in on. And id tell him that to his ****ing face after his eaten my left hook.:twisted::twisted::fire:fire:fire:fire:twisted::twisted::twisted:
So his the best at 140 despite not wanting to face the BEST man at 140? But would rather entertain former flyweight champs, former light weight contenders, and a rematch where he got OWNED because of what? Thats right an easy nights work and a wad of cash. His fans are fickle and have less depth than a shallow puddle.
If his such a big name then why not fight Witter ? The fight will sell easily because as you keep saying Hatton is such a big name. All his shills would pay to watch him have a dump in the ring so I am sure he could get 50K plus paying shills to watch him fight Witter. Hatton has already said he is **** at 147 so why go back for more ? Its not about fighting the best and creating a legacy but about lining his pockets. Hatton is fck all at 147 he struggled against Collazo and PBF schooled him. Hatton gained nothing from the PBF fight apart from his huge pay cheque.
And what did all those WBU enterties do? What did Lazcano do? Does Witter need to be inactive like Lazcano and drop down to 35 to face Hatton? Would that then cut the mustard? **** you couldnt make this farce up. This has been going on for 7 ****ing years. For 7 years Hatton has lied through his teeth like a ****ing weasel.Now we have the concrete proof.**** him.His a charlatan and a 1st class fraud.
How is Hatton the best ? Beating a well past prime Kostya, Mr Bean aka Mausa and an over the hill Castillo ? His record is comparable to that of Witter so stop pretending that he has mixed it with the big boys etc. He faced one prime top dog in PBF and got schooled.
How long you been watching boxing mate? Seriously? How ****ing long?:roll: EVERY independant org has Witter as the number 2 in his division behind Hatton.Its common knowledge his seen as the BEST contender at 140 and leagues ahead of Torres and Paulie.Im sure you aware of that FACT.
:happy at last someone who is not a newbie and tells it like it is. This forum has become a home for Hatton nuthuggers and because of them it is going downhill. They are incapable of writing a half decent post. They look on boxrec work out Judah beat Witter, ignore Witter took the fight at a few days notice and use this to blow Hattons trumpet. You ask them whether Hatton could accept a fight at a few days notice aginst the likes of Zab, make the weight and go 12 and they ignore the post. Fcking muppets.
