after confirming his desire to fight no later than march,so hatton v marquez in wembley arena london 65,000 or the m.e.n 17,000 manchester where he beat tszyu or mgm vegas. If billy graham is coming back as hinted by ray his dad im for it but tough tough fight.who you pick? me? hatton by sd.140lbs.
I hope Hatton has something left in the tank to be competitive if this fight goes ahead. One of my regrets was never going to a Hatton fight if this one comes off in England i'm going. War Hatton!
Insightful Thats better! However if Hatton can take Marquez's shots he would have to KO JMM to get a victory or i see UD for Marquez because JMM will counterpunch all night long through Hatton
this is brilliant fight and i thought it would happen earlier then this, big big payday for both usa uk and mexico ppvs. after hatton looking shot against lazcano and literally running in with his face against pacman there is no doubt thart there wil be a marquez tko victory
hatton is 12.8 stone at present so he has 36 pounds to lose in camp to make 140lbs. to all my yanke pals thats 14 pounds in 1 stone.
All hatton really wants its a pork pie and a pint of guinness. That fat boy needs to stay away from boxing.
take it from me when i fought counterpunchers in amateur and pros the fast double jab counteracts a counter puncher with lots of lateral movement, and quick in and out footwork.its all about timing not speed or strength height or anything else.
i hate how the uk media is trying to get hatton and khan to fight,ricky still has plenty in the tank to crack amirs chin and give him the best nights sleep since breidis prescott.
This would be a great fight: - JMM is getting on a bit and he wouldn't be that same menace at 140. - Hatton will have a lot taken out of him to come down in weight again Both cancel each other out and make it a 50/50 fight.
Thats a lot of weight to lose...especially when he hasn't had to do it in over a year. Hopefully he loses it gradually. I still think Hatton is too big for Marquez though...the only bout worth moving up for is Pacquiao if I was Marquez. And thats not implying that Marquez could pull a victory off over Pacquiao at 140lbs, but its still the only bout worth moving up for.
i'd say the overall plan is to fight jmm and if he wins khan fight would be bigger to casual fans, but us loy know the longer hatton lets khan develop the less chance he has. he could even wait for 140 to clear up he has alot of options right now
I never actually thought about it like this. The reason I don't want Marquez to take the Khan bout is because of styles and timing. Khan's speed would be too much for Marquez at this stage and he would jab his head off all night in my opinion.
Khan would be an awfully bad choice of an opponent. I know he really wants that 4th title, but he'll be on the end of a Mayweather type spanking. Katsidis/Hatton would be a better choice.
