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

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

 

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 .

 

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 .
