Quote, unquote, Ricky Hatton in reference to him fighting PBF.

Whoa! What a major slap in the face. That ought to wake up Team Joy jr. The only problem is Floyd would never come down to 140 to meet Hatton. He'll make Hatton go back up to 147, which would be a distinct disadvantage to Ricky.

Whatever. I just thought Hatton's comment was a blantant slam at the so called P4P best today. It was beautiful!

[Unchained]

I wasn't a Hatton fan, but I would root my ass off for him against PBF, that comment was classic

[JETSKI]

The fight also had more holding and hugging and cheap tactics than Mayweather's entire career combined.

So whats your point? Thats his style & you either adjust or your fucked. I'd like to see Hattons inside fighting/body shots while PBF is trying to get unglued from this guy.

Comment had me rolling on the floor.

[Robbi]

What utter rubbish. Mayweather was brilliant against Corrales and Gatti. Plenty of action in those fights, even though one sided. I would rather watch a replay of Mayweather v Gatti before Hatton v Castillo. Any day of the week as well.

Hatton is always having a go at technical fighters. "This fight is not going to be a tickling match". Hatton was good tonight before the left hook landed, not outstanding. It was a great performance overall. Mayweather's performance against Gatti was much better. Its not his fault Gatti never put up much of a fight. One sided fights can also be entertaining.

Hatton just does not appreciate skillfull boxers who are in the business of boxing and showing defense. He's all about coming forward and putting effort in throwing loads of punches.

Here are Mayweather fights that were entertaining and good to watch. Corrales, N'Dou, Corley, Mitchell, Gatti, and some others.

[DE100]

Fight was boring as hell

[BigEars]

Yes b/c it would be fair to PBF to drop down two weight classes from his last fight, and fight at a weight he hasn't fought at for over 2 years. Shut the fuck up.

I think he could still make 140 without too much problem , he always keeps himself in good shape and didn't seem to put on too much mass since his move up .

[bhwbj]

Mayweather has had a number of more entertaining fights then Hatton/Castillo. Hatton doesn't want to fight Mayweather anyway.....

[KillerInstinct]

Good insult by Hatton, however he wouldn't beat Mayweather. And from what I remember, Hatton (or atleast his promoter) doesn't want any part of PBF.

[brooklyn1550]

Mayweather vs. Gatti was a completely 1-sided affair. Usually that doesn't make for a great fight.

The fight wasn't boring, they were both throwing a lot of punches and landing. If you want boring watch Byrd vs. Touch of Shit.

It's Floyd's call, if he fights again, and his LEGACY to :piss away!!!But?? The fight should have happened at 40 and PBF was never the CHAMP THERE. Since Floyd's the BIG MAN NOW?? Why cant he make $25 Million and OFFER HATTON 15 Million and a shot at 47 or 40??? DLH made more than Floyd and Floyd THINKS he's IT now, so show em whatcha got. Perfect opportunity to erase one of the question marks in his career and EARN RESPECT against the true CHAMP at 40, a long with a MAJOR PAYDAY.

Well it all depends how you look at his ''action'' . it was action though, and yes he knocked out with a body shot. But as always it was ''wrestling action'' , no ''boxing action''. I prefer the last one..

[Carlos Primera]

i can understand the gripe some people have. granted they were throwing punches in the fight, there was just too much holding on the part of both guys, creating lulls in the action. still a good win by hatton none the less

[o_money]

guys mayweather is a pop and hold guy these days too.......anyone remember the baldomir fight?

As for ricky fighting floyd at 147. I don't think it matters at what wieght they make the fight 140 or 147. floyd was 4 lbs heavier then ricky was last night when he fought DLH. There both naturally the same size. And if ricky wants to fight floyd at 147 its doubtful that he'd make the mistake of bulking up like he did last time.

[Danny Ocean]

hatton is funny in that his mouth is bigger than his heart

[PATSYS]

I wasn't a Hatton fan, but I would root my ass off for him against PBF, that comment was classic

I became a certified Hatton fan tonight. Before tonight, I like him but I was not sure if I were to root for him if he fights Cotto.

But tonight, he is one of my favorite, perhaps next to Pac.

I would like Hatton get his shot at PBF, whether it be at 140 (preferably) or at 147.

Didn't Hatton turn Floyd down TWICE, nuff said...

Second of all, if Floyd had said this, there would be post after post about how arrogant Floyd is. It seems like there's a double standard here...

hatton turned down mayweather because he wanted to get some more exposure in america first, so that he can earn more $ from what will be his biggest fight. he didn't shine against urango and collazo, but did last night. now he'd take the fight with mayweather, anytime, anywhere if the money was right. he's said he wants him, it's now down to mayweather. the mayweather comment last night is just trying to wind him up, and start getting a fight talked about.

Hatton was calling Floyd out before he then turned him down, I remember him being commentator for Floyd vs Gatti saying he'd love to fight Floyd etc...

So why should this be any different?

because hatton has given the performance that he needed on american soil to get his name more well known. if fmayweather calls him out again and the terms are sensible the fight would definatly happen.

[roly]

that's total shit. he would only do it on his ters and you know that aint happening. do you think he would fight floyd at 154?

fighting mayweather at 147 is hardly on hattons terms. mayweather has only had one fight at 154. a fight at 147 would suit mayweather better than hatton, hatton would obviously prefer 140, but there's no way he could fight at 154.

[bhwbj]

Hatton didn't want any parts of PBF when the fight was available. Now Hatton is ready to "CASH OUT" and MIGHT be willing to get his loss for a huge retirement payment.

[Biggame]

This is pretty hilarious that a guy like Hatton continuely knocks Mayweather and his style but for over 2yrs now has avoided him. Ppl on here keeping trying that bullshit about more exposure but he hasn't done shit to make himself more natable since the Zoo fight. That fight is what got him his exposure, and it would have been the biggest fight of 2005! This fight barely helped! The fight wasn't exciting at all:nono I believe Hatton is somewhat delusional about his style, and his fights!

Why does he mention Mayweather so much but seems to have no intentions of fighting him? He almost seems obsessed w/him, yet scared to fight him. He mentioned fighting some guys at 147lbs, but no mention of Mayweather....why not? You guys sit on here and cry, moan, and bitch about Mayweather when he speaks about opponents yet Hatton does it and he's funny, and comical! Hatton's mouth is much bigger than is heart!

He's is pretty funny especially since he has alot to say except I want Mayweather,...now that would be something to listen to!!

[thesandman]

Makes me laugh how all of the PBF fans hammer on about how great PBF is by "fighting out of his weight class", but then in the next sentence say "Oh,, Floyd is a 154 fighter now, no way he makes 140".

Which is it? Is he a full blown 154 or not? If so, STFU about jumping weight classses. If not, then surely he can make 140 again?

One major thing you're leaving out here Biggame......
......Hatton has never annointed himself as the best fighter p4p on the planet. In fact, he's always said he has things in his arsenal as a fighter to work on.
.....for the first time last night, you saw Hatton point out that he's ready, willing and able to test his mettle vs anybody in the world.

Hatton for the first time ever is talking like a p4p champion, and I'm willing to bet that unlike Mayweather, he's willing to back up his talk.

As of now, Mayweather is'nt interested in fighting any of the existing p4p'ers. Mayweather has declared himself retired, unless hasbeens or fighters on their way out like DLH who can still draw a good payday are willing to fight him, I dont see Mayweather eager to fight any of todays legit p4p'ers who like himself are in the prime of their abilities.

PBF is the 147 champ....yay, whoopie!

WTF does that have to do with anything. Stop with your revisionist history. PBF gave Hatton 2 offers at 140, both admittedly turned down. So don't go crawling on your knees bitching that PBF didn't want Hatton.

Bloody hell. Some of you people are retarded...or you've been living in a box for the last two years. Mayweather has given Hatton the opportunity to fight and he turned it down. TWICE!

Christ I thought Hatton was excellent last night but lets not go overboard....a way past his best Castillo is not the same animal as Mayweather. People always say Hatton is so fucking humble but he deserves a thorough ass-whooping for that ridiculous attack on Mayweather.

Let's see Ricky fight De La Hoya and come back and talk about 'action' eh? Perhaps not though, Oscar isn't old enough yet for Ricky :deal

.....and again, as I posted about to Biggame, Hatton has never talked himself up as the best fighter on the planet. Last night for the first time he said he's ready, willing and able to take on all comers.
Hatton only wants big names from here on out.

Whats so hard to understand about that?

Mayweather does'nt want to fight anybody nowdays but DLH, stating that he's to good to fight anybody else but a fighter he's already beat!:lol: :lol: :lol:

So because he wasn't ready then, he can NEVER fight him now?

According to Fugly Boy Floyd, no one is good enough to fight him. Unless its Oscar giving him some more welfare money !!!

[Thinman]

So because he wasn't ready then, he can NEVER fight him now?

No, he cannot fight him now. :nono And if you try to tell somebody that this fight makes sense, then the answer is going to be "He has done nothing to deserve a shot at PBF?

Same goes for Mosley. According to PBF fans He avoided PBF long time ago. Mosley missed his chance, therefore PBF has nothing to prove.

However, a fight against DLH makes more sense. PBF is the smaller guy and he is willing to risk again his "O" against an ATG. :yep , but on the other hand many of PBF fans say that DLH has never beaten an elite fighter, not even in his prime. So, try to figure that out. :dead

[rodney]

This was not a great fight.
It was O.K.
Lots of holding and hitting, wrestling and some inside work always followed by some type of holding and cliching.
Not a lot of boxing --- mostly bullying.
In the 3rd round , both fighters landed some good body shots.
Hatton, of course a little better and getting the best of the pushing and wrestling match.
The last body shot that Hatton threw was not his best in this fight.
Jose took the good body shots.
Hattons last body shot didnt look like a liver shot.
It looked like he caught Jose behind the elbow, on the back-lower rib area --- weak spot.
Definately not a gut shot or even an oblique shot.
Definately not this great devastating liver shot.
It didnt even look that hard, as he threw it with mostly his arm.
He was winning the fight, but it was competative.
He didnt exactly beat Jose up.
Cotto is much better.
Period.

[C Money]

Bloody hell. Some of you people are retarded...or you've been living in a box for the last two years. Mayweather has given Hatton the opportunity to fight and he turned it down. TWICE!

During a 6 month period when Hatton was under contract with ******, and Floyd was already AT 47 when that contract was up. It was clear financial success for Hatton and Floyd became a FREE AGENT himself, so it sounds like the POT calling the KETTLE BLACK.

Why on earth would you cling to that STILL?? What's up with RIGHT NOW or after SSM?? Hell, Hatton went to 47 to chase PBF then Floyd goes to 54 to fight DLH, and its the same old song and dance routine since 130:yep Yes hatton had difficulty at 47 with Collazo but PBf isnt a real 54 fighter anyway he started 10 lbs lower than Hatton.

Its about LEGACY, and Floyd WASNT CHAMP AT 40. Hatton has again REAFFIRMED his Championship at 40. Floyd got the power from Oscar?? So make the offer, get your legacy, and YOU KNOW DAMN WELL YOU WILL MAKE $$$$$$$. Do it at 47 if he likes, Floyd is hardly gonna be the more physically imposing of the two at 47 or 40.

Stop the excuses and make the meaningful fights or just :piss what he's accomplished to this point. The greats have alway's done it like that so its not ASKING ANYTHING OF FLOYD that other Champs have done!!:good Even PBF fans should be beginning to realize that the stalling, retirement, and monetary haggling ISNT gonna make him the LEGEND that he or they THINK HE CAN BE!! Floyd is still PRIME so at least a 3 or 4 fight stretch is hardly UNREALISTIC from a historical perspective.

At the same time, no way should PBF have to come down to 140 to fight him. If PBF is not retired, he is the 147 champ and the top fighter in the world. Hatton goes up to him, not vice versa. PBF should fight him though if he can't fight Cotto or Margarito/Williams winner.

Yah, sorry buddy, but it was HATTON who said he needed 3 fights in the US before PBF. And Collazo was his first fight in that series, then he immediately went back down.

Hatton is 3rd in line, maybe 4th. Cotto and Margarito are bigger fights.

Yah, whining and crying.....suddenly all this shit was going on and THAT'S why Hatton turned down the 2 offers. All of a sudden it's ******....yah, keep it coming. :deal

[kg0208]

NO YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!


For the same reasons Floyd became a FREE AGENT:lol:
AND LEGACY AND THE HISTORY OF CHAMPIONS:good

Legacy and history of champions:hey

So Hatton was 140 champ....why didn't he fight PBF right then? It's about that right? He had the offer right? Why not take it?

Don't give anyone some BS about ******. PBF made the offers. Hatton is the one who said "3 fights in the US".

Little bitch....lmao. Lame.

I'm arguing with someone suffering from a mental handicap apparently:yep

Lets see they both won fights aginst Tszyu and Gatti respectively in June, ******s CONTRACT WITH HATTON DIDNT EXPIRE UNTIL AFTER THE MAUSSA FIGHT which OCCURRED on 11.25.05

FLOYD FOUGHT MITCHELL AT 47 on 11.19.2005!!!! Is that sinking into the cement head of yours??? That MEANS THAT those "offer"s came between June and Novemeber and Hatton wasnt going to give away what would amount to a large some of his hard earned $$$$ to Frank ******.

Just like PBF bought out $750,000 of his contract with ARum so that he could negoitiate HIS own deals and make more MONEY, WHich is what it's all about for Floyd. If anyone else has finacial concersn, then they are automattically DUCKING PBF:lol: They made bullshit offers which they knew wouldnt be expected and Hatton himself denied the rumors that his father said he wasnt ready on FNF as well. A long with two or 3 fights TO BUILD THE HYPE FOR A MAYWEATHER VS HATTON MATCHUP.

Now where were any offers or statements showing interest from Floyd at 47?? There was "discussion' supposedly but ALL WE HEARD was JUDAH, and DLH!!!! PBF was forced into BAldo almost choosing Spinjs at 54 instead so where, where, where was/is FLOYDS INTENT or ACTION>>

STopm crying, making excuses, and talking shit, IT ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR!!! :lol: Yes PG, you are a little bitch:hey Hatton will represent one of the largest PAYDAYS and since MONEY is everything to supalips why's he gonna play these games with a FIGHTER that he'll supposedly beat???

SAME FUCKING BULLSHIT, round and round it goes!!!

[Sizzle]

I guess Hatton hasn't watched many of Mayweathers fights at the lower weights, e.g., Vs Emmanuel Burton where they traded on the inside for large parts of the fight.

In any case, Mayweather displayed more skill in his 1st round KO of Bobby Giepert than Hatton has displayed in his whole career.

Hatton is much naturally bigger than Mayweather, who was outweighed by 13lbs in his last fight at Welterweight - They should do the fight at Welterweight, if at all.

[bigtime9]

THis is the question for all hattonites, has ricky hatton gotten better as a fighter since the zoo fight or gotten worse with his holding. Like lederman said hatton is a hook and hold type fighter who has showed no boxing skill in his past three fights. Hatton will never be ready for a fighter of floyd's caliber. Let's see who hatton fights next, my money is on the weakest champ at 140 A fighter who doesn't move his feet and position himself well like castillo, zoo, and urango.

[badger6]

Floyd is scared to fight anymore and retired, so its a moot point !!!

That's WONDERFUL OPINION FAGTIME:good They dont give status based on OPINION, that comes with FACTS:happy

But one could suppose that SRR once felt that way about Lamotta. They had many a remacth and THEY DIDNT MAKE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT FLOYD CAN MAKE VS HATTON THAN THEY DID IN CAREER'S:smoke
How bout those apples??:-(


SO It's all about the $$$$$ Right??? Welcome to Floydegbra????:lol:

Try SSM then Hatton. Then either Maragarito vs Williams or Cotto remain, That's a HIGHLY PROFITABLE and respectfully walkable PATH.

AInt no doubt in my mind, body, or soul, SSR OR Lamotta woudlnt have played these games:good :D :lol:

You, ME, and EVERYONE ELSE has their OPINION. Champions base it on FACTS:happy

With the potential for BIG MONEY AND FACTUAL RESPECT against the top OPP and subsequent legacy enhancement?? Bullshit catches up in the end, 1 way or another. Floyd has the opportunity to GO FOR IT, earn respect, and make TONS MORE MONEY in a reasonable TIMEFRAME but he's "retired". OK... But since you command so much MONEY and respect as P4P GODLY SUPERSTAR?? Surely hatton is a PROFITABLE AND TEMPTING FIGHT BECAUSE PBF SHOULD WIN, right??????:hey :hey

Aint nothin to it but to do it. But There's more than just Hatton to be faced, it seems CLEAR with the international appeal and flavor that the financial numbers will make this one of the top options.

[aliwasthegreatest]

in defense of castillo he used to be one of the top in fighters in boxing. however at this point he's bast it and can't put punches together qquite the same.

[Lance_Uppercut]

Maybe we should wait to see how Castillo rebounds before you all claim how shot he is.

[PBF P4P #1]

Maybe we should wait to see how Castillo rebounds before you all claim how shot he is.

How true....

I could see him fighting some bums and riding off into the sunset after some of the wars he has been in, but ultimately with the weight problems and number of battles he has absorbed I think JLC is done as far as prize fights go.

[Farmboxer]

Void Mayweather was beaten by Castillo in their first fight, no doubt about it. Mayweather could not do what Hatton did to Castillo. I refuse to pay one penny to see a Void Mayweather track & field event.

[Biggame]

One major thing you're leaving out here Biggame......
......Hatton has never annointed himself as the best fighter p4p on the planet. In fact, he's always said he has things in his arsenal as a fighter to work on.
.....for the first time last night, you saw Hatton point out that he's ready, willing and able to test his mettle vs anybody in the world.

Hatton for the first time ever is talking like a p4p champion, and I'm willing to bet that unlike Mayweather, he's willing to back up his talk.

As of now, Mayweather is'nt interested in fighting any of the existing p4p'ers. Mayweather has declared himself retired, unless hasbeens or fighters on their way out like DLH who can still draw a good payday are willing to fight him, I dont see Mayweather eager to fight any of todays legit p4p'ers who like himself are in the prime of their abilities.

I didn't miss anything nor leave anything out divac:nono

Hatton has been spitting garbage and shit for years like he's obsessed w/Mayweather yet in all this talk he never mentions getting in the ring. There's always a reason or excuse. my suggestion is Shut the Fuck, and grow some balls!

Hatton couldn't talk like a P4P Champion because he never was, and he still isn't! Hatton's two biggest wins are against opponents that were past there primes so don't talk that BS about Mayweather and older opponents. Hell one of the Marquee names that everyone talks about on Hatton's resume is Phillips...need I say more?

Hatton needs to stop talking shit and start talking fight, and then what he says can be taken into consideration. Those corny comments about a guy you've avoided for two yrs only walks w/guys like you, and his fans! Mayweather's talking fight, so let's see what Hatton does now. I'm sure after he weasles, and finds a way out of this one they'll be cornballs on here trying to blame it on Mayweather! That's one thing that's consistent, and you know you can count on here at ESB!!

[MagnificentMatt]

Quote, unquote, Ricky Hatton in reference to him fighting PBF.

Whoa! What a major slap in the face. That ought to wake up Team Joy jr. The only problem is Floyd would never come down to 140 to meet Hatton. He'll make Hatton go back up to 147, which would be a distinct disadvantage to Ricky.

Whatever. I just thought Hatton's comment was a blantant slam at the so called P4P best today. It was beautiful!

Yeah me and my whole crew were laughin our asses off...IT was the best ive heardi n a while.

Lets talk about the present.....Mayweather is talking fight you say????
With who?????:huh

[divac]

.....and another thing Biggame, why do you get so defensive when it comes to Mayweather fighting the likes of Hatton and Margarito.....
......obviously these fighters along with Cotto are exciting p4p bangers that alot of boxing fans want to see Mayweather fight.

Let me ask you, name me two or three fighters you'd like to see Mayweather fight?????
.....or would you prefer Mayweather ride into the sunset and live off his victory over DLH?

[smokey]

I thought the comment was funny, but really not true. People forget the Mayweather that stopped Manfredi who was a demon at the lower classes. He kept moving up in weight, and his power didn't follow him. Not that he was a devastating puncher, but he had enough power to stop people with accumulation and pinpoint accuracy.

At 154 Mayweather CANNOT be exciting. He's just not built to do anything but run from guys at that weight. Personally I think his peak weight probably WOULD be 140. Fighting Hatton at 147 would probably help Hatton more than him.

[Biggame]

Lets talk about the present.....Mayweather is talking fight you say????
With who?????:huh

Catch up...he's talking about fighting Hatton again!! I would call that the present,...wouldn't you?

[Guru_Too_You]

Hatton talks tough until it comes time to sign the contract.

1st off don't get me confused w/other posters! 2nd I wanted and still want Mayweather to fight all 3guys! 3rd I wouldn't call speaking the truth being defensive:nono

If you want my honest perspective I want Mayweather to fight Hatton or Cotto 1st, than fight the other, and then Margo 3rd cause he'll have possibly done something by then!

I don't care what Mayweather does whether he fights again or not. Guys like you sit here and act like you can actually place him, or judge his career, and you do it out of hate. Why do you look for reason to knock him? Ans that while you're asking questions! He's done more in his career than most, and that being 95% of fighters. He's very accomplished, and if he doesn't want to fight again I don't blame him. He's been disrespected, and never given full credit even when he beat the guys all you guys and so called experts thought he'd lose too! He'll go out on top, his way, and undefeated and I have no problem w/that! I hope he fights again, but I can't knock him for what he's accomplished, and the fact that he'd be retiring w/his full health at a young age, and alot of life ahead of him!

He tried to fight Hatton, and Cotto, and sent out an offer to(I made my name off of Mayweather, and I'm a media made hype machine)Margo so if he doesn't fight any of them I don't blame him, but it doesn't mean I don't want him too!

Anymore questions?

[Biggame]

Hatton talks tough until it comes time to sign the contract.


Hell,...he's talks tough, and he talks slick, but he doesn't talk fight when it comes to Mayweather!

:lol: Mayweather is a superb boxer, but if anyone can hunt him down and force him to fight in a way he doesn't like,it's Hatton. Whatever the result Floyd wouldn't emerge from this fight unscathed

you guys say hatton turned mayweather down but what about the time mayweather turned down margarito?

“We turned down two offers to face Mayweather last year,” Hatton said. “I think the offers would be more realistic now. But we would like Richard to have two or so fights in America before we look at Mayweather.”

[Guru_Too_You]

you guys say hatton turned mayweather down but what about the time mayweather turned down margarito?

Hatton went on to fight Carlos Maussa (joureneyman who happened to have a TITLE fall in his lap and Luis Collazo (an underrated but hardly elite fighter in Hatton's second divison).

Mayweather went on to fight Baldomir (jorneyman who happened to have the CHAMPIONSHIP fall in his lap and Oscar De La Hoya (ATG, Elite HOF'r in his FIFTH division.

The diffrence there is Hatton was turning down a good, accomplished fighter who could further his career.


I don't get how Hatton can think 4 rounds of his Hug-n-hit wrestling can be more entertaining than 12 rounds of picture-perfect-pugilisum. Maybe to the trailer-parkers and drunken Englishmen....
