Sun article about Ricky Hattons next fight - Discusting if true

I dont know why you hatton nuthuggers are laughing, cos Ricky is going to get his ass handed to him big time:thumbsup

At last, hes made the mistake of thinking he can compete with the best again, didnt Collazo teach him his lesson? Obviously not, & Im laughing Big Hatton hating laughs that is, loud laughter that would wake your mother up from her slumber & shout at you to turn your hi-fi down

Theres only two real hatton haters left in this world,me & my man Scurlaruntings. & we are going to laugh last, & as you boys know, they who laugh last laugh longest & loudest:deal

I refused to believe it at first as it was too good to be true, but I finally get my dream. To see one of my heroes beat up on Hatton Get in there!!!!

Its just a shame my honorary scotsman Witter didnt get to him first.

 

the thing is dunky...most hatton fans are realistic enough to know that he's most likely going to get beaten, but are just happy he's getting to fight the best boxer in the world.

wouldn't you have liked your man scott harrison to have got the chance to fight barrera or pacman even though there would have been a big possibility of him losing?

its like when my team Doncaster Rovers played Bolton Wanderers last season...we knew we were likely to get our asses kicked, but you still support your team and you never know, there might be an upset!


so yeah...laugh away. :tong

 

Indeed. Hatton is to be applauded for wanting to test himself against the very best. If he loses, no shame in it. He is facing the best p4p fighter in the world, stepping up a weight to do it and fighting in his opponent's backyard. Indicative of the guy's fight anyone mentality.

 

It sounds like you are preparing yourself for Hatton to be defeated which he will be in this match up and decisively.

 

As I've said before, the Mayweather fight is a good proposition for Hatton. Unless he gets totally outclassed and battered, he have just lost to the undefeated, P4P fighting in a higher weight class. He'll still have the same options at 140 as he does now but be a lot richer and and even better known 'name'.

Dunky,

I don't think the Collazo fight is going to to tell us much about the Mayweather fight. Hatton just put on extra weight for the fight because he could, rather than coming in a weight that suited him. Also the size difference beween Hatton and Mayweather will not be as large as it was for the Collazo fight, Mayweather is not a big Welter and fought a large part of his career at 135. I can see this be an interesting fight, in the last couple of fights Mayweathers punch output has been pretty poor and he's going to have to 'up' it to keep Hatton off, I don't think the potshotting that worked against de al Hoya (who couldn't sustain the pressure) will work against a younger opponent.

As an aside, its quite funny to see the haters change attacks from 'he won't fight anyone decent in their prime' to 'well he's going to get beat anyway'...he at the very least deserves some praise for taking the fight....even off you haters.

 

If Ajose and PBF were to fight they would both be in trouble. These are 2 thoroughbreads. Hatton is not going to competitive with PBF. It may shock you to hear this however after the fight when my prediction comes true I hope you can hold your hands up to say I was right.

 

GazOC, Leonard Ellerbe and I have given Hatton credit for taking this fight. PBF does not need to put shot Hatton and neither is the weight going to be an issue. What is going to be an issue is Hatton's style and PBF's skills, timing and abilities. PBF is going to have a field day with Hatton because Hatton style and strengths are ready for PBF to expose.

As for praise the most goes to PBF a world champion in 5 weight divisions beating the very best in all divisions except for Light Welterweight.

 

Sometimes you are really hard work Olu...you post without actually saying anything new that you havn't said many times before.

Shouldn't PBF get critisim for fighting such a (apparently) limited fighter as Hatton, like you give Hatton for his weak opposition?

 

olusegun. blew. it.

 

Is that the best you got newb? Come on. You said that line before.must do better if wanting to become part of brit ESB clique.

Up your game. THATS AN ORDER.

 

Look Rooq Im an old hand at hatton hating now, & I know the score. Hatton is fighting the best, & defeat is no disgrace. I grudgingly accept that. HOWEVER, your talk of hatton fans thinking hes going to get beat is WAY off the mark. Most of 'em I see think hes going to walk through Floyd, land a 'rib cruncher' & walk away victorious. & I have facts to back this up. You know me, never one to just make bold statements for bold statements sake.

Hatton fans think hes going to win, & thats why Im going to do my old big bad scottish villain routine & antagonise the hatton fans, like they have always did to me. This time its war, & for once I have the pretty boy on my side, a fighter in his prime. & thats all I have ever asked for, hatton to fight fighters who arent past it.

If Ricky wins, even I admit I will have to give him his respect. But it aint gonna happen. Its time for Ricky to find out what fighting great fighters in there prime is all about, finally.

 

Well thats a bold statement to make, I hope you can back it up...

 

hey dunks,it's true hatton is probably going to get beat but we were laughing at that guy above who wrote a 1000 word post about how hatton is avoiding every fighter on the planet,because of something he read in the sun.then lo and behold they sign the deal to fight pretty boy.real avoidance!

 

GazOC I am not slagging Hattons abilities what I am saying is that his attributes are atually made to order for PBF. I actually thinking it is stupid matchmaking from the perspective of prolonging Hatton's career however that is another thing altogether.

I have noticed a lot of Brits are slagging off PBF on this site and others(not you) just because the want Hatton to win. I don't think PBF should be criticised because he has done something very boxers in history can do. Taking care of Hatton would enable PBF to do something he was previously denied by taking out the acknowledged best at 140 pounds.

 

I think you've got to take fights like this when they come along, Hatton is a 28 year pressure fighter. He either takes the big fights now or in two years he'll have no chance of winning them anyway.

I don't think this fight will seriously affect Hattons ability to fight on after it, even a Gatti-lke drubbing (which I don't expect BTW, Hatton has better footwork and handspeed than Gatti) still leaves Hatton the man at 140, capable of 2 or 3 decent fights against the likes of Mallinagi and retired at 30.

It's a good fight to take for Hatton at this point in his career, he's the prime age for the type of fighter he is. I think its fair to say if he can't beat Mayweather now then he never will in the future and a defeat still leaves him withsome good years ahead at 140.
