Castillo and Corrales have knocked too much out of each other to stay in there with Hatton. Hatton is fast and fit. When was the last time that either of those two could fight at Hatton speed? For Castillo that was back in about 2000, when he threw about 900 punches in a cracking rematch vs Stevie Johnston. All those wars and battles to make weight have sapped something from the 2 best light weights

To tell you the truth right. Corrales has been in many hard fights. I think he will be KO'd again off Castillo. If he does fight Ricky he wont be able to take too many of Rickys bombs. Only so many hard fights you can have before your hung out to dry, and i think by the time he's fought Castillo again Ricky will be too much for him imo.

I would WALK to Berlin if a Hatton-Urkal fight could happen. Could also be a big chance for Ricky to get popular over here. I can imagine that this could be a exciting fight with a late KO by the Hitman, "the Ali from Kreuzberg" is a tough Motherf++++r but Ricky is too strong and some years younger.

I can't see becoming popular in Germany being top of Ricky's to do list. After he beats an old Urkal (who would have given him a very good fight a couple of years back) who else would there be to fight over there?

I still believe Hatton v Mayweather will still happen one day but I think Hatton wants to max out his earning potential before possibly (probably) suffering his first defeat, after which I think he'd retire.

I think Hatton would knock Corralles to bits pretty easily myself, he's easy to hit and he's not physically strong enough to cope on the inside. Corralles isn't a big lightweight let alone taking on a natural welterweight/light middle like Hatton.

Corrales is 147-149 on fight night I don't know how hes 'not a big lightweight'. If he can cope with Castillo on the inside he'd be competitive with Hatton.

He has a vaster array of punches than Tyszu, better workrate and better inside fighting. He probably hits as hard as Tyszu imo hes a monster puncher.

His chin isn't great but Hattons not a huge puncher either and he took round after round of shots from Castillo. Corrales-Hatton would be a war

I think Tszyu would KO Corrales quite easily at 140 lbs even now. I can't imagine Corrales could stand up to his shots. If Mayweather can put him down five times and Castillo can crumple him with a single shot, I'd hate to see what Tszyu would do to him.

Corrales doesn't hit harder than Tszyu. Tszyu's punches were far better delivered, sharper and more hurtful than Corrales'. Tszyu's repertoire (especially body shots) and accuracy is better also. he would have fornicating crucified Chicko

Yep Tsyzu would but Hatton wouldn't down to styles
