I’ve already said on another post that the best decision would be to fight Zab Judah in his next fight because Judah is basically a blown up light welter, with a glass jaw, and a weak body, but still has enough respect for his boxing skills that Hatton would gain something if he won. Plus, it would be a good leadup to a PBF megafight next and it would probably do well on PPV because everyone is gonna wanna see this what Zab’s dumb ass is gonna do next and Zab is a big name. What do yall think?
Yeah I agree a rematch with Collazo would be a good choice as well.
Either way I think an attempt should be made to defend the belt according to the rules, Urkal or Collazo.
I know neither is Mayweather or Margarito but seriously what is the point of having world title belts if no attempt is made to make the mandatory defenses.
I think Collazo deserves a rematch. In all honesty, who is going to dish out big bucks to see Hatton vs. Urkal. A lot of people have no idea who Urkal is, mainly because his fights are mostly in Germany. The ironic thing is mandatory challenges are important to give belts validity, while the sanctioning bodies work so hard to destroy with questionable decisions.
Collazo deserves a rematch, Urkal i wouldnt fight, Hatton was saying not long ago he wants career defining fighting hear on in, Urkal??? i wouldnt exactly call that career defining would you?
Totaaallllllly disagree with fighting Urkal,when did mandatories become so important to Hatton,I mean what happened at 140 with Ben Rabah etc Second,I don’t think fighting Gatti would prove anything for him,Gatti is beaten up and does nothing for his legacy but does earn him big bucks. Right now,Collazo is by far and away most deserving of a shot,then JLC fight would be good and a Cotto fight too.
Boxing is a business and there is absolutely no point whatsoever in fighting Collazo again.
Risky fight for very little reward and he would have to vacate the belt
I would like to see it happen from a personal point of view just to prove the doubters wrong but if Hatton won by a first round knock out people would still criticise
CC, skel…option 1 or option 2 are what i would like to see next. Urkal should not be part of this final career master plan…it makes no sense if hatton is intent on having only half a dozen more fights to fight Urkal…
im a bit disturbed at the direction the hatton camp is taking…hatton should fight collazo, i think he beat collazo but it was such a close, tough fight to score…
i decisive win over collazo would silence some of the critics and hatton could then feel free to fight his other super fights…but urkal should not be part of any agenda…
Collazo would set Hatton back. He’s in a situation right now where he’s under the hammer. He will be stripped of his belt if he doesn’t fight Urkal. Mandatories never bothered Hatton before because he had better things to do, and right now no other fight is forthcoming. And to be perfectly honest nobody is going to risk a belt or their reputation against Hatton because if they were to take that fight and win, they wouldn’t get a title anyway. Hatton will be stripped as soon as he takes any fight against anyone but Urkal.
Go back down and fight Diego Corrales? He was going to fight the winner of Corrales and Castillo anyway and who’s to say that its a for gone conclusion that Castillo was going to win! Its not Corrales fault the fight never happend!
Hatton vs Corrales would be nuts. That would be such a good fight. I think if Hatton faced Corrales at 140, Hatton would get KTFO. Not even Hatton has a bigger heart and a better chin than Corrales.
He is in the eyes of most fans and also the Ring still the light welter weight champion of the world.
A fight with Corales would be a slug feast for sure,plus its at Hattons most natural weight.He will develope into a natural welter over the next few years or so and he can go back up if a big fight comes about at that weight anyway.
