    As a big Hatton fan for years, you're sport on. He NEVER grabbed as much as he has in recent fights.

    Exactly thats why hes not exicting to me. A few years ago I thought he was im more what have you done for me lately and I havent seen Hatton in a exicting fight in his last 3. I always hear Mayweather-Hatton was good for the sport all I saw was a hug fest with a bunch of drunk Brits singing the same song over and over until one lefthook later and Hattons running into the ring post. The fight was more a joke to me then anything.

    Was there a no ring post clause in this 3 fight deal?:huh I like hatton, but the way he's acting now is a little questionable. Hopefully he steps up to the plate and fights the quality opponents that are out there at 140.

    Hatton is past his best despite being only 28-29. His dietry habits have caught up with him.

    I agree with most on this thread, Hatton on Hbo is a good thing.

    But get away from the Ruiz impersonations, and get back to Hatton of a few years ago.

    I hope he takes on someone better than Lazcano. JL is no longer a threat.

    140 is full of fighters on a similar level, and all beneath Hatton.

    Holt, Torres, Mallignagi, Witter, and a couple others are all better than Lazcano, by a wide margin.

    And Hatton would be favored in all of them.

    I'm assuming Hbo might allow a Lazcano type of fight to keep him viable for the last and biggest fight on that contract.

    Pac, Diaz, or even Dlh.
