[antcull]

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Vyacheslav Senchenko for the WBA 147 title.

[bored]

Which WBA title would that be? That belt means fuck all.

[GazOC]

Will that be Rickys 7th world title???

;O)

[kosaros]

Hatton is going to surpass Leonard's 6 world titles if he wins!

Guaranteed to get in the HOF!!!! ;)

[onourway]

I've never even heard of Senchenko.

And why's he going back to welterweight? Can't he make weight anymore?

[kosaros]

Its obvious that he is avoiding Witter..... ;)

[GazOC]

If he can just pick up that interim WBU 154lb belt before he retires he'll be up with the real all time Elites....;)

Would push him above Lennox Lewis easily.

Amazing if he pulls this off....king of the welterweights. :cool:

Oh dear......:patsch;)

[kosaros]

Oh dear......:patsch;)

:lol:

You know that is what the discussions will be for haters to bring up if Hatton does fight at 147.

[onourway]

How has Senchenko picked up a belt in arguably boxing's hottest division and I haven't even noticed? :patsch

[rockandrollstar]

The WBA sucks ringpiece, man.

Whats with the "World Champion" and "Super World Champion" shite???

Mosley doesnt even hold any other alphabetty titles

[Losfer_Words]

Which WBA title would that be? That belt means fuck all.

:goodIf Hatton fights for that joke belt then you really have to question his motives for returning.

[GPater11093]

Hattons glass chin has been exposed. Hatton is overrated.

Please, we have enough idiots spouting that kind of shit, don't need good posters like you GPat following in the same trend. I know your mind can be influenced in this teenage part of your life young Gregory, but you just have fight against it and think about what your actions could do to others.

To be fair you counterpunched nicely with the two smileys, particularly effective use of the 'admin' smiley.

He didn't mention a resume :think

[onourway]

He could have gone with Hatton has an 'overrated' 'skillset' to make it four.

[slip&counter]

are people buying this? get a grip

the only opponent hatton is facing if he is to continue for one last hurrah is khan for all the marbles and trust me not even animosity with ****** will get in the way

if khan wins of course

[GazOC]

He didn't mention a resume :think

Grrrrr...."resume"....:tired;)

He ducking Khan :lol:

[Betty Swollocks]

a nobody with a cheap title belt, get a dodgy win over him then claim to be an X times world champion.

a typical Ricky Hatton opponent.
Is there no end to this farce?

[Farmboxer]

Hatton does not really have a glass chin. Lewis was stopped by Rahman and McCall. He did not have glass chin.

[griff]

I've never heard of this guy but I wouldn't be surprised if this fight ends up in Africa or Dubai in a double-header with Matthew fighting for the IBO title.

[Dan684]

No your right Farmboxer. He's just taking too much out of himself everytime he gets so big and then has to reduce himself to nothing. Its catching up on him

[Lee Mc]

How has Senchenko picked up a belt in arguably boxing's hottest division and I haven't even noticed? :patsch

I was just thinking the same thing!!

This confirms that my decision to only accept The Ring title was the right one.

[DemolitionDan]

I think this is a good fight for Hatton. Hatton would win....or at least a Ricky Hatton in the past would have easily stopped this dude, but this wouldn't be a bad fight for Hatton, but at Welterweight I'm not sure because Ricky Hatton hasn't had the best performances at Welterweight so it's kind of interesting why he would fight at Welterweight even though he hasn't fought the best at Welterweight even when he was, not in his prime, but still a very good Ricky Hatton.

[ishy]

This is how Senchenko got the belt:
Cotto was WBA WW champion and a guy called Yuri Nuzhenko (sp) was his mando. The WBA then made Yuri 'interim' champ and a while later Margo beat Cotto. By this time Yuri was due his mando but he was never going to get it.

Therefore the WBA, with their infinite wisdom, elevated Margo to WBA Super Champ and made Yuri their Regular Champ.

Margo went on to lose to Mosely and Yuri lost to Senchenko.

It's all a load of bollocks.

[icemax]

A leopard doesn't change its spots...he's been avoiding Junior for the past 8 years, he doesn't have to move to Welter now to carry on the ruse :deal:yep

Don't be bringing your personal problems on here, cunt lugs :-(

So he's a World Champion as much as Bernard Dunne is?

I'm going to lend you my tin hat...good luck :thumbsup

[PatrickP]

This man speaks the truth.

I get the feeling a touchpaper has been lit though...... we all know how our Irish posters get precious over the likes of Duddy, Lee and Dunne :lol:

Fuck the lot of you talking about my fellow Irish man in such a way!:D

Seriously though most of us Irish fans accept that Dunne is not a world champ in the strictest sense but he did beat a world class boxer who beat the current champ so that's good enough for us.
Just one thing though if Mr Munroe won the same strap would you guys class him as a world champ?:think

Back to Hatton, if this is true it is a bad move for him. I have never even heard of this WBA champ but it would be wiser to hold out for a fight with Khan than risk another loss to an unkown fighter.It's probably just bullshit though.

[El Cepillo]

Call me a simpleton, but WTF. Mosley is the WBA champ, so why is there an another dude with the same belt.....

Edit, forget it, I just read Ishy's explanation.

He shoud fight Witter nd then retire nothing else to prove.

Ishy is correct and I don't blame you for not keeping up, Hoya. I regularly visit this page and am astounded by it whenever it's updated:

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

The WBA have been at it for ages and it shows no signs of abating. I love the way that the WBO are getting in on the 'interim' act as well. This kind of shit only happens in boxing:-(.

[Ste Hawkins]

Forget Khan, he may well be off the radar after Saturday. Witter was too tricky for Hatton in his prime so I doubt things will change now that the off season lifestyle has caught up with Ricky. He was advised by the highest sources inc Lennox and Benn to curb his eating and drinking but he continually stated he was just chilling out and it wouldn't affect him. It does and it did.

[anjawnaymiz]

hatton should get the old business with witter over and done with, he owes the fans one last treat in the uk, its a money maker plus i think witter would be a safe option aswell. forget about khan or this no namer from ukraine, either fight witter or retire!

[ishy]

So he's a World Champion as much as Bernard Dunne is?

:yep

[Little Tyson]

If he's serious about returning. Ricky should fight at 140 and try unify the division. Fighting some unkown Ukraine for a alphabet belt, tells me Hattons motives are to be questioned. 140 is his best weight class so i dont know why he would move up to 147 again.

Apparently the WBA have a total of three world champions at super bantamweight. I don't know whether to laugh or cry :lol::?

Yep, it's such a hot division that they need 3 champs per sanctioning body!:huh The WBA, IMO, is not far from people treating it the same way as the IBO, WBU, WBF etc. What a sorry state of affairs.:-(

Just reaffirms my opinions really. All the alaphabettys are inferior to the Ring belt.

Couldn't agree anymore.... Shane Mosley is the second WBA champion at welterweight too?..... oh no, I meant to say a 'super champion!':patsch

Exactly... they're not corrupted by money.

[servo]

Haven't heard much about Senchenko, if he is a natural at his weight though, i don't think it is a good choice for Hatton.

[BoppaZoo]

I'd rather see Ricky go after another 140 champ,

maybe Tim Bradley i would watch that fight. What are your guys thoughts. Why 147.

I can only think he cant make the weight as easy.

[Francis75]

Why ? Isn't it obvious. Him and his dad can "sell" this fight to his fans and the deluded who follow him as a big step for Wicky moving up in weight to the glamour welterweight division to fight for a world title. They won't mention the fact that he is fighting a complete nobody.

As a sensible respondant I would agree. It wouldn't surprise me if, after a long time at 140 and a dubious lifestyle, making the weight is no longer so easy for him as it once was. I would watch him and Bradley go at it as well. You have to remember though, the whole source for this rumour is an article in The Sun (British downmarket rag) which doesn't give a source for the story, not even the usual "source close to the fighter" chestnut. I wouldn't be taking it as gospel just yet!

[trotter]

What a load of shite

The very fact nobody knows this guy makes him a nobody

Whether they mention it or not

And it will be moving up, to fight for a title, no 'sell' needed, that's just fact

Anyway, Boxers and their team promoting fights eh, what a bloody disgrace... would never have happened in the old days

Re read my earlier post. You are obviously one of the deluded clowns who blindly follow Hatton. It is a complete joke of a fight and you can bet your life Wicky and his money hungry dad will "sell" it to "the fans" as something much much more than it is. It will be cringeworthy some of the things they will say. I'm sure you will lap it up though won't you.

What amuses me is that, if this story was true which I highly doubt, Hatton comes back and fights a nobody for a paper title, which is probably going to be passed off as a world title fight. Cue mock outrage about "fleecing the fans" and such garbage. Junior Witter is about to do exactly the same thing and yet the board is full of good luck messages for him and encouragement for him to "give us another British world champion". Boxing fans' minds work in funny ways sometimes.

[Francis75]

This is simply a soft tune up fight for Hatton which is fair enough after he was KTFO in such brutal fashion but the shit him and his dad will spout will be a joke.

[icemax]

What the fuck has Ricky Hatton fighting , or not, for a WW title got to do with Junior Witter? The same people who criticised Witter for obsessing about Hatton are now guilty of the same offence but in reverse...is there any chance at all that we can have a Hatton thread without Junior being mentioned?...rant over :deal:thumbsup

I think the difference is that Junior Witter is fighting for a significant Alphabet title, that happens to be vacant, Ricky Hatton isn't even fighting for a title but we will be constantly told that he is and if he wins he will be a 7 time World Champion. Ricky Hatton, nice guy that he is, is very clever at marketing and even convinced many people that the P4P title was lineal.

Fair enough, I just mentioned him by way of an easy comparison. It was to highlight some of the hypocrisies that seem to exist where Hatton is comcerned rather than a dig at your guy. Apologies if it came across in that way. I'll be cheering him on against Alexander. :good

It is a vacant alphabet title yes but significant? It is the same title he was beaten for by Bradley, who has not lost, moved up or vacated. Plus, it's value was dubious when he first won it IMHO, the title had been stripped from Tszyu who was the universally recognised champ because the sanctioning bandits couldn't have a year without any sanctioning income. The title Hatton is fighting for is equally useless. Yet both will be marketed by Sky as genuine world title bouts.

The p4p thing is a genuine case and point. There wasn't a recognised world title on the line in the Pacquiao bout so I'm sure some of the "pound for pound title" comments were at the prompting of Sky and for the purposes of hyping up the fight. Hatton never mentioned any of that before the Mayweather fight as that one was for a genuine world title belt.

There was a title on the line when Hatton fought Pacquiao; The Ring Magazine Light-Welterweight title which is held by the one true champion. Also Hatton did claim, on several occassions, that if he beat Mayweather then he would be the P4P champion.

Finally, in my opinion, no alphabet title is significant but some are more significant than others.

The ring is not an official sanctioning body but yeah maybe a fair point. I must have missed those comments prior to the Mayweather fight then, but maybe it's because Betty and his cohorts had some other minor gripe to bring up every 5 minutes at that stage!

[GazOC]

I don't remember Hatton saying he would be P4P champion, if he said he would be P4P number 1 if he beat Mayweather then thats different and a matter of opinion.

[HeavyT]

No recognised title on the line? They weere fighting fopr the highly sought after, coveted IBO belt, of course.

[Lee Mc]

I know it's now two months since the Hatton vs Pacquiao fight but I'm still going to have a moan!

Do you know what REALLY pissed me off that night? The fact that Hatton had Pacquiao enter the ring and be introduced second just to add even more weight to his P4P Champion hype...

AGGGGGRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH

Thank you, I feel better now.

[Jeff Young]

The Senchenko fight does make sense in some ways....if ricky has even 50% of his prime left he should beat this guy, if this news story is true.....the guy has fought nobodies in ukraine his whole carear....i'm afraid though ricky will want to go on after this fight......to lead to a big money fight at 147....

I have brought up before that cotto vs hatton.....outdoors at yankee stadium would be huge for boxing....sure cotto would probably win......but this fight would be great for boxing....

yankee stadium sell-out outdoors, full with the promotional hype and the puerto rican fans based in new york....along with hatton's army coming overseas.....thats why i think hatton would test the waters at 147 again with senchenko, if this story is true.....
