solo1bc Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think it's going to be the toughest fight of Ricky's career so far.... No doubt Castillo is getting on a bit and is at a new weight so I tip Ricky to win on points or via TKO but in previous fights Ricky's non-stop punching style has helped against 'boxers' - Castillo is in the same mold so it's going to a belter I think...Any other boxing fans got an opinion?

kevinmabbuttshair Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 This is going to be tough, but I'm going for RH to win on points. Got a feeling there's going to be some real toe to toe rounds. Roll on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 It's about time all the Hatton doubters and haters started to realize that he is the real deal.No chance of that sadly.Yanks simply can't bring themselves to admit a non US fighter is better. If they can't recognise Joe Calzaghe as a legend with his record they won't Hatton either.Already you hear from americans about how he's just a brawler who holds and hits, they ignore the punches he throws and just leap on any excuse call Mayweather the best pound for pound fighter in the world.I'd like to see Mayweather vs Calzaghe - I think we'd see another schooling like we did with Lacy.

And Lacy.Basically, you're believing that yet another massively overhyped yank is something special and he simply isn't.Hatton would worry Mayweather a great deal because he's not used to that sort of fight, to someone who comes forward relentlessly and can take his best shots.And there's no reason the fight couldn't take place at the lower weight - Hatton would most likely be the only one left with a belt.It won't happen though because Mayweather has no reason to step into a ring in which he might lose.

zfc Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Your lack of boxing knowledge is obvious to see.Tzyu is Australian and by the time Hatton fought the fight of his life against him Tzyu was well into his mid 30`s and past it when Hatton had to give the performance of his life to get the decision.Mayweather in his last fight beat one of the most aggressive come forward fighters in the last decade with ease and he stepped up a weight to do it.Do you really think the little bloke with short arms and no power at Welter could do a number on a fighter who is one of the special fighters that come along from time to time?Lacey was never overhyped,he was a decent fighter who was beaten by a better fighter on the night in Calzaghe.I should know as I was sat at ringside watching it.There is no way Mayweather could lose to Hatton as they are both in their prime and Hatton is in the habit of beating "names" who are well past their best.Mayweather is on a different planet to anyone Hatton has fought as well as being in a totally different league to Hatton in terms of class.

Nibor Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Your lack of boxing knowledge is obvious to see.Yeah and Beckham was past it when he left Man U and that eejit Mclaren was right to drop him. Your lack of general judgement is obvious to see.De la Hoya a fighter who comes forward? Maybe but he misses far too much and always has. You don't get beaten five times for no reason.Hatton having no power when he steps up 1-7lbs? Sure.Which world class fighters who weren't past it has Mayweather been in the ring with exactly?I'm not saying Hatton would beat Mayweather, I'm saying he would trouble him and Mayweather is vastly overhyped just as Lacy most obviously was.I don't care where you watched that match from, obviously the view wasn't very good.
