Hatton v Castillo
Las Vegas, USA
BBC Radio Five Live
Sunday 24 June, 0400 BST Ricky Hatton says he will pull out of Saturday's IBO light welterweight title fight with Jose Luis Castillo if the Mexican fails to make the weight limit.
Castillo has had weight problems in the past, most notably when he twice failed to hit the limit for lightweight title fights against Diego Corrales.
"If he doesn't get down to 140lbs then the fight is off," said Hatton.
"He has got to do it this time or promoters and television companies won't want to know him."
Castillo said he was currently a comfortable three pounds over the limit when he took part in a public training session at the Top Rank gym in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

It's only 3lbs and If Castillo tried to drain those 3lbs off but couldn't and was knackered then Hatton would have the advantage once they step In the ring surely?

Quite right too!! Anyway, it won't be an issue since at the official weigh ins one month out, Castillo was 10st 7lbs. Just mind games from Hatton camp

If Would Castillo fight Hatton if he came in at 150lbs?Do pork chops grow on the pal tree`s of tel aviv? :think Castillo is 143lbs.I mean a whopping 3lbs above weight 2 days before the fight and little Wicky is complaining already? This has PUNK BITCH written all over it.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the previous poster but I thought Hatton went into the Tszyu fight with an excellant game plan and executed it to a tee . Sure it mightn't have 'looked' that great a performance but it terms of keeping with what he was trying to do coming into the fight I don't think it could have gone better for Hatton .

I understand Hatton's plight. Working hard to make weight, and the other guy maybe slacking off a little. I just think this weight class thing goes a little far sometimes. What is the differense in a 136 pounder fighting a 140 pounder, and a 140 pounder fighting a 144 pounder? Weight divisions should be a little more like guidelines. There's 17 of them for Christ's sake. When there were only 8 weight classes, these guys would both be welterweights. It would be different if Castillo was at 153.

06-21-2007, 10:09 AM
rekcutnevets- I agree with you. IMO, with 8,000 folks coming across to see him and all the ticket holders for the event and HBO date it would seem quite chicken shit to pull out over a pound or two. Just my opinion.

Yeah because the fight is at 140 pds which Hatton is going into this fight at.Is that too difficult to understand?Why should he risk getting pasted because of a fighter who can`t be arsed making the weight is over the limit?It would be a professional decision on Hatton and his trainers part to pull out if Castillo is over the weight limit.

Just a ploy to get him drained and try to make him weak before the fight is all. Typical boxers strategy.
PANSY?
are you serious?
there is a REASON for coming in... if ricky has to weaken himself to make the weight, i have no hard feelings at all if he pulls out if castillo pulls his bullshit again.
Max Molyneux
06-21-2007, 11:34 AM
What a load of garbage to make out Hatton's being a wimp. If Castillo comes in at 143lbs, then on fight night he might weigh nearly 153lb or even a bit more.
If Hatton forces himself down to his limit, with all associated strains, why should he fight at a disadvantage if he comes in at 147 and risk a serious beating?
Hatton on fight night comes In around 156 to 158lbs though.
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the previous poster but I thought Hatton went into the Tszyu fight with an excellant game plan and executed it to a tee . Sure it mightn't have 'looked' that great a performance but it terms of keeping with what he was trying to do coming into the fight I don't think it could have gone better for Hatton . exactly. he had a game plan, that worked, and he stuck to it through thick and thin. there is a reason a warrior and king like zoo didnt come out for three more minutes, and despite what some idiots would have you think, it was ricky 'holding' him.

Hopefully, this is much ado about nothing, but weight classes and limitations have always been in place, if Castillo cant make it?? Hatton should pull out and people can FORGET about JLC as a relevant fighter at this point.

Not quite sure I understand, is that an insult? I'm sorry I don't speak "gnarly-teeth."
LMFAO, another funny thread. Do you expect him to agree and fight a Welterweight then?, how fair would that be?
Props to Hatton for doing this, if he trained 100% and came in shape then Castillo ought to do it or this fight is history. Hatton isn't crazy to fight someone above him in weight and then get bashed on for losing.
Castillo has no excuse to come in above the 140 limit. This is for the 140 World title and hatton is the 140 champion, it is now up to Castillo to put up or shut up not Hatton.
I cant see how Ricky can be blamed for reacting like this, its not the first time JLC has pulled something like this.

Hatton's chin Is better then Diego's was though.
I dont know about that one honestly Corrales made it through 12 rounds with Clottey while getting beat down the entire time, while Collazo was rocking Hatton in the later rounds of their fight, now sure Collazo is the bigger man, but he is not a big banger.

Castillo should move to 147 and fight Clottey like Corrales did if he can't make 140. ;)
Club Fighter
06-21-2007, 05:16 PM
I dunno, maybe I'm a hardass but I agree with Hatton. If you sign on to fight at 140 then you gotta come in at 140. This is not fun and games, it's your f'n job. You gotta be a professional about things. Lord knows you're getting paid enough. I know I can't half-ass my job like that. It's inexcusable.
But in the same token, I don't understand how 3 lbs. is an insurmountable advantage in every weight class except Heavy. In Heavy you can outweigh your opponent by a full hundred lbs. and everythings ok, but if you try to come into a cruiserweight bout at 203 you gotta call the thing off. I tell you, that's some real circus shit if you ask me.

Some of us are saying this before Ricky fights JLC. For the record.
If Castillo wins this fight, I'm gonna say Ricky was even more overrated then I thought.
This is just another past it "NAME" fighter on Ricky's resume. Nothing more.
When Ricky has the sack to fight a stud in their prime, he will get peoples respect.
Until then, he's only fooling his diehard following.

How many other fighters in boxing are fighting the biggest threat in their division?
Knob McDude
06-21-2007, 06:30 PM
Who would you rather he fight at 140 right now?
PBF 2 years ago, when he had the chance.
Cotto 2 years ago, when he had the chance.
140 went from being a great division, to just slightly above average when them two left it.
I guess one guy I'd like Ricky to fight in that division right now would be Junior Witter.
At this point in their careers, I think Junior and Paul Malignaggi are bigger threats then JLC.
In all honesty, as far as Ricky's legace goes, he's gonna need to move up to 147 eventually, to get the huge fights.
When a top contender in the division is a blown up, past it lightweight, it's time to find greater challenges.
He will end up like Joe Calzaghe in the end, a fighter with awesome talent who just fought too many fringe contenders, and not enough of guys at his talent level.
sandwichsurgeon
06-21-2007, 06:32 PM
Witter is a boring fighter which HBO would never fund and Malignaggi has only just established himself as a major player in the division, you talk about 2 years ago but now is now who else is he supposed to fight? If Castillo is such a bum then why are so many people tipping him to win?

Right well I said right now, not 2 years ago. Witter is committed to Harris. Malignaggi just fought and is commited to a mandatory. So Hatton is facing the best available. When this fight was signed Witter was only euro champ and Paulie was a fringe contender.
Knob McDude
06-21-2007, 06:36 PM
How many other fighters in boxing are fighting the biggest threat in their division?
Well, I'd say Cotto is working his way up to it.
Takes a super tough fighter, everyone thought would give him fits in his first fight at 47.
Then fights the always dangerous Judah. (a guy tons of haters thought would light him up)
Next is a guy the p4p #1 has been ducking for years.
After that, I'm sure he's gonna go after the other top dogs, including Floyd. (if Floyd gives him the time of day)
Paul Malignaggi strikes me as another fighter always looking to fight the best.
Kelly Pavlik looks to be that way.
Winky Wright.
Shane Mosley.
Before he fought Ouma, Jermain Taylor fought two straight HoF's, and at least one of them will be an ATG.
sandwichsurgeon
06-21-2007, 06:42 PM
It doesn't matter what they are looking to do this is the 2nd time Hatton has fought what is percieved by most as the biggest threat in the devision, cotto has never done it, Mayweather seldom does it, yeah Winky, Mosley etc have done it and nuff respect to them.

Cant answer your last question.
I think even at JLC's prime, Ricky would hand him his head.
I'm not a Hatton hater, I love this guys attitude.
He is great for boxing. (minus the huggy bear style he's used in his last two fights)
I want to see him fight the best, and he hasn't been.
He caught Kostya at the perfect time, and I said the same things before that fight, that I'm saying now. (and many thought Kostya was gonna win easily)
Like I said, the 140 pound division is rubbish, now that the two best from there moved up.
There is nobody in the division that has a chance to beat Ricky, IMO.

Ducking for years? Even though floyd was only at 147 for a short while.
Malignaggi? Riding the coat tails of the cotto fight beat a paper champ and has said nothing about fighting the best.
Pavlik already talked about moving up in weight (rather than clearing the division.)
Winky, since when is fighting at a catch weight considered fighting the best in your division?
Mosley he's holding out for PBF or retiring not looking for Cotto et al.

The fight is at 140. That's what Castillo should weigh for it. He had plenty of time to make it. If I were Hatton, I'd say the same thing.

Cotto's overall level of competition is way better then Ricky's. (minus a faded Tszyu)
The Margarito fight will be Miguel's 4th at 147, and many feel he has been one of the top dogs there for awhile.
Outside of Tszyu, Ricky has done dick.
We can argue all day, but that's pointless.
You have your opinion, and I have mine.
Hopefully Ricky will move back up to 147, and fight the guys that will help cement his legacy.
He is just gonna continue spinning his wheels at 140, and the current crop of contenders there won't earn him any respect.
I know he has the skills to hang with Cotto, Mayweather, Mosley and even De La Hoya. He just needs to take the plunge.

Dunno bro.
I just know he basically called Ricky a spot picker.
He feels he had the harder title fight, and that Ricky is catching Castillo at the right time, just like he did Kostya.
He said he wants to fight Ricky before the end of the year, we'll see if it happens.
If it does, Ricky UD 12. Paulie will have the other side of his face broken. :hey
I say that with nothing but love and respect for Paulie though. Kid is tough as nails, and has some serious skills.
It's just that guys like Cotto and Hatton are on another level.

I like Paulie too. But the bottom line is Hatton and Castillo are the top dogs. Kostya was top when ricky fought him 90% of people said hatton was getting knocked out. When Ricky is retired in a couple of years I hope to see Paulie ruling 140 with his speed and movement.

You really think Hatton is going to give up a $3-5M purse? I don't think so. He would force Castillo to dry out and take off as much as he could, then he'd fight him anyway.
Too much money at stake here. I wonder how HBO would feel about it? They'd probably be a little peeved and I believe Hatton's contract is up with HBO after this fight.

What is wrong with not fighting against a man, if the guy doesn't make weight? Hatton cuts down more weight than Castillo and I bet that he will be on weight. Also Castillo is now fighting at 140 instead of 135. There is no reason why he shouldn't make weight.

I haven't read the whole tread, I only read a few post and what the poster who created the thread posted about what BBC RADIO FIVE LIVE COMMNENTED.
It is a shame that many of you are talking about it in a such a way that makes me think that you guys don't know how to read.
Castillo said crystal clear, according to BBC RADIO ......" He was currently a comfortable three pounds over the limit when he took part in a public training session at the Top Rank gym in Las Vegas on Wednesday "
My question is, what is the big deal about being three pounds over the limit two days before the weigh in?

I agree, but the article is from wednesday and I thing the weigh in is on Friday, don't you think that this is just normal, I mean, I don't think is a big deal to be 3 lbs over the limit two days before.

Three pounds two days out is about right. Hatton will only come down to 142 then have a sauna just before the weigh in

If Castillo is as unprofessional as he was and is over the weight limit this time HAtton has EVERY RIGHT to back out of the fight.Rules are rules.Or shall we have it a few years from now people sayinng"Oh he`s a stone over so what?"Boxers hit heavier at the weight if they are a few pounds over,its an unfair advantage and can cause unfair stoppages,ko`s or worse hospital cases.Corrales risked it,but that was his choice it doesn`t mean HAtton should do.

Making weight ain't easy, so I'm not really blaming Hatton for this. It's not like Castillo has the best track record at the scales.
Hatton's father should have pulled out and spared the world of his little redheaded bastard son.
:lol:

He should pull out now......
to keep that undefeated record in tact......
You were all over the board with your smarmy anti-Hatton comments before the fight. Where are you now?
