To the hardcore "There's Only One Hatton" chanting huggers: Does it mean: His loss to Pac was a fluke? He has solved "Left Hook, Roll Over" tactic? He needs to rematch w/ Pac? He'll be back in top 10 PxP? Floyd, Sr. is an *******? Freddie Roach was lucky in his prediction? He should fight Floyd again? Ali will now recognize him standing up? What's your take?
Well i think we all know Floyd Sr. is an *******, but even if Hatton wins a belt again, i wouldn't be surprised to see PBF choose Hatton over a fight with Pac should things go according to plan in the next few months in terms of predicted results.
Its not as though its particularly hard to win a belt these days...He has 4 to choose from in any given division...5 seeing as though Ricky doesnt mind the IBO trinket. Its really depends on who he beats and how he looks beating them.
True. I won't be surprised if Oscar unretires and fight him. I won't also be surprised if Floyd will choose him over Pac for money reasons.
as yu all kno im a mega Hattonite but heres my take on things, He should have a swansong in manchester over a mediocre fighter and retire, his punch resistance is non existant so i personally cant see him winning a belt again even over a lesser champ like Khan, i could be wrong though and ill be wrooting for him should he fight again
it wasn't 1 punch though...he got beat up and dropped twice before getting totally banjoed. if he wins another belt it'll be 'Wicky 'Atton has won 9 world titles at 2 different weights, only the very best fighters in history have done that and I like to think i'm up there and for excitement too, i'm a really nice guy as well'. he'll have beat Ben Rabah or something for the IBO belt.
I dont buy the Hatton is shot line. He is on the decline but saying he is shot just takes away the greatness in Pacs victory. I think Hatton could beat any 140lb champ, i think he beats Khan and Urango. Alexander and Bradley are 50/50 fights imo. If i was Hatton i would give it one last go and then hang up, he has ahad a good career and he has nothing to be ashamed of imo.
i reckon he is gonna be world champion again, he has got the wbu so why not go for wbf this time, it was only a few days ago he compared himself to duran so im sure he is capable of beating a paper champ for the wbf title as long as he solves the "right ook roll unda, right ook roll unda"
I can see him fighting Juan Diaz and beating him then depending on how he looks he'll probably fight Cotto after he loses by 5tko to Pac(hope I'm wrong).] I'd rather he have one last fight in Manchester then call it a day. He's had a very good career just come against the best two of our generation but at least he can say he give it a go.
Well said. Hatton has been an overachiever in my view. He has beaten decent fighters, has the scalps of Tszyu and Castillo on his resume and he lost to two of the greatest fighters of our generation and people slate him for this.
Totally agree he is an overachiever...but dont mean it in a negative way at all. He took his talent a long way and should be commended for that.
