[BOXING]Ellerbe: "Hatton, Want Floyd? Sign The Contract!"
- Thread starter ParkBoyz
- Start date
Castillo was pretty much in his prime, and to me PBF lost the first fight, as almost everyone else thought as well. That's another topic though, a debate in itself. So we will just say Floyd won a very close devision for the sake of getting off track. Same with DLH, an arguement in itself. I personally thought Floyd won 115-113, but there are those who think DLH won. Yet, once again PBF wins a close and "split" decision, over who is more concerned about being a promoter than a fighter.

Tell me one Class B or higher fighter other than PBF on his record.
Talk about a padded record. The majoirty of his fights were in South Africa fighting nobodies.
I hope you aren't labeling me as a PBF hater, because I am not. He is one of the best boxers of this era, if not ever. The guy is definately PFP one of the best in the world. I just don't think he can beat Hatton, and even if he does win 7 or 8 of the 12, they will still give the nod to Hatton regardless of where it is.
To me, this fight is still far from happening. Not enough money in it for Floyd and he would be stupid to take this fight. Hatton still needs a bigger name.

All your opponents don't have to be tough to not have a padded record. A padded record to me is someone who fights and KO's low calliber oppoition in which some have 50% win ratios in itself...then being promoted in the US as having a solid record when you fought nobodies.
Hector Camacho Jr had a padded record before losing to Omar Weis.
N'Dou had a padded record before losing to PBF.
Randall Bailey is another prime example, padding at it's finest.
The way Chavez Jr. is going is OK, but it will be another 2-3 years before people start talking trash.

^^When it comes to Chavez Jr., I believe his handlers are doing the right thing by padding his record since he never had an amateur career.
I also don't think this fight will come off, after scoring a career high purse against Oscar I find it hard to believe that Floyd-Hatton will come to an agreement on their purse percentages. Then again, you never know. Oh yeah, Ellerbe's a piece of shit...lol

"Ricky Hatton has talked nonstop about fighting me for the last two weeks," said Mayweather. "He has disrespected me and my accomplishments in the ring, and I take that very seriously. I'm going to give him the opportunity to step up and fight the best in the world. I don't think this punk will take the challenge."
"Now that Hatton has opened up his big mouth, he might start to think about what he has been asking for," continued Mayweather. "Does he really want to step into the ring with best fighter of this era and embarrass himself? Being the coward that he is, I doubt he'll get in the ring. We'll see what his excuse will be this time."

"I was retired, but I'll sign to fight Hatton right now," said the American.
"Ricky Hatton cannot fight. He cannot box. He throws one punch at a time and then holds. There is no skill to what he does in the ring."
"I've never wanted to hurt an opponent like I do Hatton. For me, boxing is a science but it will be a pleasure to prove to the world what a great phoney the guy is.
"Ricky Hatton is the most over-rated fighter of the last 25 years. He beat an old Kostya Tszyu and he beat an old Castillo who was shot.
"I beat Castillo twice and the first time I did it with one hand because the other was so messed up. That was five years ago when Castillo was in his prime."

Mission accomplished for Ricky tho...cause he's definitely under Floyd's skin right now. One thing that I respect about Ricky, is that he's a throwback fighter...he's all about putting on a good fight for...
The Fans.
Seems like he's more concerned about his legacy, than he is with his paycheck. Definitely respect that. He honestly just wants to put on a good fight. And even when he won both of his first two US fights...he was dissapointed, and apologized to everyone for the lackluster performances.
