Who the fck wants to see a rematch ?
PBF dominated Hatton, what is the point in a rematch. People who have given PBF a good fight have not got rematches and those who made Hatton look ordinary also did not get rematches. So why does Hatton think he deserves a rematch ? He did nothing at the weekend to even suggest he could run close to PBF.
What about all the b/s at the weekend that Hatton could not fight at welterweight and was more natural at light welterweight.

I'd like to see a rematch, Castillo got one. The fight would be competitive that's for sure. Might not be a different outcome but at least this time he would know how good Mayweather actually is.
The build up and the media exposure boxing got from this was amazing, the event itself was promoted perfectly.
So why not have a rematch?

:lol:
dont need to see a rematch, it was a decisive win for PBF and it wasnt that great of a fight, hardly a thriller...
both should go their separate ways.

It wasn't the best fight ever:?. But the whole thing was amazing, the build up to it was brilliant and the atmosphere on the night was unbelievable.

The hype to mayweather - Cotto would be amazing too...as would Hatton - Witter...

Well, I wouldn't stay up for it but would probably watch the 7 rounds on a website, just to see how the ref deals with the dirtiness from both fighters and to see how Mayweathr takes Hatton out this time. But I would not be interested really...It will be a repeat of the first fight, but Mayweather would have an easier time this time, even if Hatton uses his left jab more. I would be much more interested in seeing Hatton against Witter or even Rees or, ideally, that Italian bloke from New York, Malignagi. And so should you.

For Mayweather there is, but for Hatton there isn't I don't think. 140 hasn't much left for him and 147 is probably too big for him. If I was Hatton I'd fight Mayweather once more for the money then Malignaggi and Witter to finish up his career.
Las Vegas would've made an absolute mint from that fight, if they want the rematch they'll get it.

So your telling me I should be much more interested in seeing Hatton vs Rees than a Hatton vs PBF rematch?
Right then

It would be a disgrace if Mayweather fought Hatton again, even for a lot of money; anyway, it wouldn't even make 40% of what the first one made. There are big fights out there for Mayweather, much bigger than Hatton ever was, and they would just about make more money than Hatton II.

No one would bring the people to Vegas like Hatton fans would. But I agree there's better fights out there for Mayweather, definitely would like to see him against Cotto although he'd win that fight in a similar way I think. Right now there's no one I think who can beat Mayweather. Williams would be hard fight, Margarito would be outclassed. Mosley wouldn't beat him either I don't think.
Cotto is probably his hardest fight out there just now.

Good fight for the bank accounts of all concerned - waste of time for the fans imo.

Mayweather should fight Cotto next. That would be a massive fight - probably the biggest out there.
Mayweather has said he always wanted to fight in the UK.
Wouldn't surprise me if it happened especially if Mayweather was prepared to drop down to 140lbs and fight Hatton at Light welter.

I'm a Hatton fan but I'm realistic and know the likelihood is he won't win every fight he's in. Even ATG's like Robinson and Ali couldn't so I doubted very much that Hatton could manage it.
So to be honest I'd rather him rematch Mayweather or fight Cotto or De La Hoya. If he remains at 140 and fighting Rees he's probably better off retiring. One fight at 140 against Witter is all that's left for him.
If Mayweather doesn't fight Cotto then Hatton should. We'll then find out if he can mix it at 147 level. You can't judge it against Mayweather because he's a class above everyone just now.

not for fucking mine tom!!!!:bart
Even if you take a possible Mayweather rematch out of the equation Rees just doesn't generate the same interest or have an established enough name as say Witter, De La Hoya, Cotto or Malignaggi in my opinion.
TAM83 and Stuey - welcome back, hope you enjoyed your time in Vegas!

hmm. Hatton is starting to irritate me again. I gave him his dues for taking defeat like a man on here, but as the days go on & all the medias whingeing about bad refereeing & Ricky now saying it was his own errors that led to defeat, coupled with a ref who wasnt his pal Dave Parris, & not crediting the brilliance of Floyd, & now hes going on about a rematch...
Does Hatton ever learn?
I thought Hatton had learned the art of humility, & I applauded him for it. I should have known better.

I think for a rematch to be saleable in a situation like this the loser has to provide evidence that he may be able to reverse the result of the first fight. IMHO nothing that Hatton can do at 140 would be enough, to get a rematch he'd need to beat Cotto, Williams or a welter of that calibre.

I believe Floyd Mayweather greatly underestimated Ricky Hatton, and Ricky Hatton did give him the scare of his life. But like always he adapted and neutralised his opponents, and shut his Lights out. Floyd Mayweather is a smart fighter he learns form his mistakes, and fights. I Believe he will still defeat Ricky Hatton UD, but it will not be a knock out, in the rematch.
