    Well, I don't see other name fighters (and Hatton is one of those) queuing up to fight Junior.

    So is the problem here actually with Hatton or Junior?


    Anyone who says 'boxer fans against boxing fans' and the like wants putting down too. The claiming of the moral ground by some is quite embarassing. Backlash bandwagon jumpers.


    Oh and one final moan, anyone who has or feels the need to say 'if you take x amount of fights away' or similar utterly ridiculous methods of debate - let's stick to the real world eh? That's contentious enough without arguing about your 'make believe to suit my agenda' world. Thanks


    Oh and to answer the question posed in the thread, no, the fight isn't prevented by a clash of personality / persona.

    It's a dog tired cliche but 'risk and reward' says it all really.

    Interesting that I posted this over 3 hours ago and nobody has responded.

    Thats maybe, because like me, they are wondering whether you are saying the Ring rankings that month are **** for having JLC at number 1 or good for not having PauliM in the top 10? Or both?

    I'm sorry that Castillio was number 2 at 140 when Hatton fought him but thats what he was. That'll make Hattons resume read number 1 contender at 140, number 1 at 147, Lascano, number 2 contender at 140. What a **** eh?

    Blown up ruin.

    Horrible beating

    Nonentity

    Number 2 contender at 140...when the number one is available.

    How many champions ALWAYS fight the number 1 contender? Those 4 fighters are a decent run of fights for a boxer to take, can you not see that?

    Best at 135, P4P top 15, maybe top 10.

    Against the best fighter in the world.

    #7 in the division.

    Headlining in America against a younger, fresher challenger who is the number 2 contender in the division, but could be number 1 depending on the latest round of fights.

    Looks good to me. :D

    Truth to tell I just want to see him take on Witter.

    Because I want to know who's better.

    Edit: I'd also like to see Witter, an honourable boxer, get a decent payday.

    He couldn't make 135lbs, so how do you figure he was blown up? I love your logic by he way. You consider Castillo, who can't even make 140lbs now, blown up, yet Hatton clearly being a 140lber gets no mention.

    Why can't you make a fair argument? I'm sick of these totally biased posts. Whether from hatton fans or haters. If you want to debate, at least be fair in both sides of the argument.

    Because he'd fought all but one (an extremely dubious victory on the Urango undercard) of his previous fights at lightweight.

    Because Hatton's ducking gets on my tits so I'm disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Perhaps you should give a guy who's fought Zoo, JLC, Maussa, Mayweather etc the benefit of the doubt?

    Witter ducked Cotto, aren't you disinclined to give him the benefit of the doubt too?
