Be it Malignaggi, Witter, Torres or some other name at 140 Rees isnt in a position of avoiding tough fights.:nono He's a titlelist in need of quality wins if he's to challenge Witter or Malignaggi who are better and more qualified. What Enzo calzaghe said is UNBELIEVABLE:scaredas: :yikes I like Joe Calzaghe as a fighter and nothing against his father but there is no logic to his reasoning what so ever. Hatton WAS THE UNIFIED 140 Champ! Something I would have reminded and questioned Enzo on how he could be more qualified?
Maybe he is baiting Ricky, who knows? If he's being serious then as brilliant a trainer as he is he's talking crap. Hatton should get a title shot at any of the current 140 champions and Rees stands no chance against him.
I love the way you've all taken this quote to be gospel. I can't think of a less reputable British newspaper than the Daily Star. 90% of the 'news' in there is pictures of tits. The other 10% is just a load of BS.
Also, the quote given on here is rather selective. It fails to contain more of what Enzo apparently said to them: "I would be insane to let Gavin make his first defence against Ricky," he told the Daily Star. "I'm a manager with a heart. "They might see Gavin as an easy route to becoming a world champion again, but I'm ruling it out at this moment. "They could fight somewhere later down the line but not as Ricky's next fight." _______________________________________________________________ I'm pretty sure Enzo is admitting there that Rees would get spanked by Hatton. As I said, if Enzo even gave the Daily Star an interview at all, they probably made some major alterations to what came out of his mouth because that's what they do at the Daily Star. It's an extremely trashy paper.
why would Hatton want to fight Reese anyway? He brings nothing to the table, besides a trinket. There's bigger names for Hatton. Malignaggi, and Witter.
