Why didnt Hattons camp accept the big $$$$ gatti fight?

This would have been a great exciting fight. they could have had it sign'd and sealed. Now baldimor gets the fight.

It'll still happen. Gatti will beat Baldomit and Hatton will beat Collazo and both will then fight in a big money unification fight. I however don't share the same enthusiasm for it that you do.

hey if hatton wants to make a statement in america who better to do it against than gatti? I wasnt in favour of this fight at first because i dont rate gatti but he is so loved by the american fans so hatton would get alot of credit for beating him imo

What could Hatton gain from this fight? After Mayewaether's demolition of Gatti, everything but an early stoppage would be considered a disappointment.

Besides, I'm not that sure Gatti will get past Baldomir.

it would be hard for ANYONE to top PBF's performance vs gatti...but gatti should be at least an 8-5 favorite over baldomir & i expect him to win a clearcut but competitive decision!!

Yes, Gatti is probably still too good for Baldomir, though I don't think he will have it that easy. Difference is Gatti can take a shot whereas Judah cannot.
