For some reason Boxrec seems to have stopped supporting direct links to other places.

Any road up, go to http://www.britishboxing.net to see the little piece.

Well, I would have said it would be Hatton just laying down the facts as he sees them, but what with the City stadium, the great announcement by Fight Academy - are they actually going to make the Maussa fight official? But he can't fight with the Fwank case ongoing, can he, whether Hatton camp's in the right or not?

KOJOE mentioned the link problem is due to some server trouble or something. I have every faith the situation will be rectified asap, or I'm minimum weight emeritus champ

Warren would have to seek an injunction to stop him fighting and a judge will look at the case and either grant the injunction or deny it. It doesn't seem to be a clearcut case so I think the fight will still go ahead.

This morning is the morning. Has he bought a new duvet? Has he sold his shares in BAT in order to help his case for the Conservative leadership? No doubt we'll find out soon.

Hatton will announce his retirement.

Hopefully he is announcing that he is back on the Atkinsons diet! Or he is fighting Calzaghe at Super Middle! Lets face it, he wont have a problem making the weight in his current condition!

I know what the announcement is.....HE HAS THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE!!! RUN TO THE HILLS EVERYBODY! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!

No surprises, it's Maussa on the 26th November, in Sheffield, on Sky PPV.

Talk of Mayweather next summer.

And Hatton still has the WBU belt, for some reason.

then its Zab Judah after for £2.5million

Maussa

Gatti

Cotto

In that order.

Perhaps he's going to tell us how much he weighes?.. :x :x :x ... about 180 at least I'd say from what I saw of him on Friday!.... 8)

Is there any quotes from Ricky on the allegedly split ? I would like to hear Ricky's opinion come from him and not not his dad or Warren.

I thought he didnt look too bad.

I'm 5'8 and 190, he looked trimmer than me.

He said this? I'd like to see Hatton-Gatti. Does anyone want to give the details, I missed it

Looks like Hatton's next two fights will be highly paid walk overs then....

Gatti is finished - now way he deserves another shot after his last no show.

It's hard to fault the Mausaa match though as it gets Hatton his second legit belt.

Hatton-Gatti is great commercial sense though. It will be entertaining while it lasts, against slick boxers Gatti is useless but against a come forward opponent like Hatton I think he will land some leather in a wildly entertaining scrap before being overpowered in 6/7 rounds.

I would have thought Mayweather will have moved up in weight again by the time Hatton-Cotto have sorted out between them who is the best challenger for him.

Time for a large slice of humble pie I think. I was a Hatton detractor and thought he would never step it up
so I have to say him unifying the titles aswell as toppling Tszyu was beyond my wildest fantasies!

Maussa is a tougher fight for Hatton than people are giving him credit for. A Hatton win is almost a certainty
but it will not be the walkover some are saying it will be.

Well done Hatton.

Maussa looked good because Harris looked so awful in defeat IMO but it's a legit belt and therefore the smartest move from the Hatton camp.

Maussa's unpredictable style makes him dangerous, as does his punch, but I would expect Hatton to win convincingly. Wouldn't be surprise if it was a points win.

Picking up Maussa's belt is a very smart move, he will be in an excellent position to call the shots for big fights with two belts.

Bring on Mayweather I say. Got a feeling Mayweather will fall short at Welter, it's a long way from his best fighting weight, and Judah is a lot better than Gatti.

Unifying against Cottos left overs is impressive? Cotto easily outboxed and battered Maussa

Hatton can outwork, outspeed and outbox Gatti, but Gattis 1 of the most powerful at 140, up there with Tyuzu in terms of raw power.

Where did I say impressive? What I am saying is when Hatton seemed to be stuck on the WBU circuit I never expected to
see him holding 1 never mind 2 genuine world titles. Not many people would have seen Hatton as a future unified champion
a couple of years ago.

given some of the WBU fights, I think Maussa/Gatti/Cotto is a bit of a dream scenario

I have to say that I never thought the KT fight would happen and never thought he would win it when it did happen.

So, I have to take a big piece of that pie right now.

These are potentially entertaining fights and genuine matches.

Its the fighter that makes the belts though and fights against Cotto leftovers (Maussa) and Mayweather leftovers (Gatti/Corrales) still makes it a case of shying away from the fights that reall matter.

Tackie and Phillips were higher calibre than Maussa
