DOUBLE STANDARD.
I COMMEND Floyd for taking a HARDER fight against Zab Judah (the first fighter to equal his speed and maybe have more power). It's a much more dangerous fight for Floyd and I commend him for taking the challenge rather than face a guy that got lucky. Would you pick Boldomir against Zab in a rematch?
No.
Hatton wants to fight Boldomir, I didn't see him wanting to fight Judah when he was champion? wonder why he's stepping up now all of a sudden.
And he's going around STILL talking about Gatti (A lot of people will have egg on their faces if Hatton fights Gatti after what they said about Floyd fighting him).
The Hatton nutriders need to get REAL and look at the facts.
How did Baldomir get lucky? he won on points, that means he was the better boxer on the night, it wasn't a lucky one punch KO.

Rabah for sure, two reasons.
1--- at that level he just don't cut it, guys played the ratings game from oz and he's no better than commonwealth level at the most.
2 -- He will be cheap he'll take what he's given and be gratful

Think about it, DLH is going to be happy to pay him over the odds for his first fight so he can get a shot at the linear welterweight title if he beats Mayorga. And Baldomir's purse against DLH will surely be higher than anything Hatton or Gatti's people are offering? He just has to beat Antonio Diaz first who is pretty shot.
Mayorga Vs DLH is at Lt Middle.

Ray Hatton has said that they are going to try once more before looking at other options.
He also said that because of PR apperances Ricky Hatton is 2 weeks down on his training, he usually likes 12 weeks of preperation, but has missed out on the start.
Can't see how thats good for Ricky as he always has quite a bit of weight to get off before his fights. Any time lost in training means he will have to condense his wieght loss plans.
It wont be Baldomir, HBO arent interested in him cause he is too dear.
I reckon Hattons next opponent will be Vivian Harris, they could get him for a fraction of the cost.

there not fighting for mayorga's title though are they.
de la hoya's next fight after mayorga will likely be back at welterweight.

Harris shouldnt be a problem for Hatton, if he couldn't take Maussa's punches he's unlikely to be able to take Rickys. But this is very far from a 'defining fight' for Ricky. And the runours about his training don't bode well... one day it will cost him getting that weight off all the time... its highly unproffessional and dangerous...

harris is a big mouth and there will be a certain satisfaction in seeing hatton take him to the cleaners.
40-0 and he's been a fat bastard a few months before everyone of his fights over the last few years.
still unbeaten.

He
was a big mouth.
I've barely heard peep from him, since Carlos cleaned his clock.
Hope Ricky doesn't waste his time with him.

Yeah, but he can't keep fighting the scales forever and winning...
