Minutes ago on Sky Sports News Ray Hatton said that the Pacquiao fight is not off yet but Manny only has a few days to agree the deal. Ray said that only hours ago Oscar informed him that he would still like to face Ricky at Wembley stadium.
OK i've changed my mind Hatton Vs Manny will happen This is just Goldenboy trying to get Manny to sign the contract by threatining him.
Call me crazy but I still give DLH a chance! Especially if DLH gets Floyd Sr back in his corner. DLH is a more diversified fighter....and I still think so even after what PAC did to him.
I feel this would be a bad idea for Hatton as DLH was obviously weight drained against Pac and I don't see that happening again. Hatton will struggle to win this and even if he does people will say how Pac did it so much easier!
I doubt Floyd Sr would train DLH against Hatton. That be ****ed up, he's more likely to diss DLH since he is the one who wants to fight his fighter Hatton. Sure would be a surprise. DLH in Wembley would be huge.
ODLH needs to ****ing retire. ****ING RETIRE. The fool, he is damaging his own credentials by still trying to fight.
I think De la Hoya is a gentleman and likeable, but fighting Hatton at Wembley is simply patronising peoples intelligence - though I'm going to be one of the stupid people watching it probably. De la Hoya needs to focus on promoting fights rather than fighting.
Oscar is SHOT below Junior Middleweight. That's a fact. He no longer can make 147lbs and still be healthy. If Hatton dislikes Welterweight, he has no business above it. I suppose he'd give 154lbs a try for Oscar-type money.
Bar the obvious financial gain this a lose lose fight for Ricky. If he wins, which he would, he would be chastised for taking on an already proven shot fighter. If he loses hed be torn to pieces for taking a beating from a washed up legend. A win would harm his career and legacy, a defeat would destroy it. Believe it when I see it.:roll:
Though I recognise Ricky's flaws as a fighter I consider myself quite a big fan. If this fight was to take place I wouldnt watch it or him ever again. He would lose all credibility in my eyes. Havent seen the interview but Id be disgusted if he even entertained the idea.
