HATT IN THE RING FOR TRIPLE STATESIDE DEAL

By David Anderson

RICKY HATTON is set to sign a three-fight deal as part of his masterplan to conquer the United States.

The WBA and IBF light-welterweight king is close to agreeing to fight Arturo Gatti, Jose Luis Castillo and Ben Rabah in America - and his likely first contest will be on May 13 against IBF mandatory challenger Rabah.

Hatton's dad and manager Ray said: "Promoter Dennis Hobson has put together quite a nice deal with an American promoter and we're considering it."

When will camp Hatton get serious about fighting Mayweather?

"Look into my eyes, I want Mayweather". Sure, Ricky... Bollocks!

i'm just ignoring these press clippings.

hatton has confirmed nothing himself. until he does, don't draw conclusions.

I am not being rude mate, but it might help your powers of persuasion if you tried to use a bit of basic boxing knowledge to back up your opinion rather than pure rhetoric.

This part of the site has some of the most knowledgable fight fans around, most think PBF will probably win, but there are technical reasons for this rather than a rant that looks like something from a WWF fanzine.

Haha. Quality!

Castillo has to get past Corrales first and Gatti's fighting Damgardd.

Hope he doesn;t fight Gatti though. Not after the beating Gatti took against Floyd.
