I'm glad, I always enjoy watching him fight. Source is btalk.

I'm sure HBO is gonna make him earn his money, they sure as hell won't approve any softies

 

[Icantbox]

The first fight with Lazcano is a gimme. He'll fight Malignaggi by years end if not mallignaggi and Torres or malignaggi and witter

 

[HUGOBOX]

I'm sure HBO is gonna push Witter down his troat

 

[SugarShane]

Is Hatton-Lazcano going to be on HBO? That is one fight I could honestly not care any less about.

I bet you it is. The smartest thing they can do with that fight is get Amir Khan on the undercard. He needs a place to start making a name for himself and the undercard of a Hatton fight is a great vehicle.

That's a good point. :thumbsup:

Hbo offered him 3 fights so hbo is going to try to milk hatton and make sure he most likely wins the first 2. His toughest opponent will be his 3rd fight on hbo. IF he wins, he may retire or get an extended deal. This is most likely how it'll work. However that third fight could be a showdown with pacquiao.

 

[scovedog]

well i guess thats thats good cant wait to see him fight again

Sure they will, they approved Cotto-Gomez. What would they not do for Golden boy?

There plenty of competition at 140 to keep Hattons career going. I don't want to see Pacman-Hatton. The size difference is wayy too much.

You talk as if Gomez does'nt have a prayer, and you may be right , but what he may lack in skill he makes up with heart and desire, I would'nt put it past him to pull an upset. And shock the hell out most one sided fans.....

Sorry I just cant see that one bit, really cant see Cotto loseing to Gomez when he's been through Mosely Zab and Quintana in the past 18 months.

Agreed but really dont see Frank Warren letting one of his star fighters going anywhere near a Ricky Hatton event.

 

[BigDigga]

gomez will put up more of a fight than people expect methinks

 

[TysonJones]

He will but cotto is still going to shorten gomez's life.

 

[BigDigga]

it would really be something if gomez pulled off the unthinkable, man. i wonder what fighter the may-haters will say floyd is ducking if gomez pulls off an upset. they'll probably start beating the margy drums again

 

[LeedsLad]

Yeh, the winner of Margarito/Cintron will the new guy Floyd is ducking. But there is NO chance in hell Cotto loses to Gomez honestly, he can outbox and outfight him. Cotto never comes under prepared, Gomez is getting stopped in the middle rounds.

 

[ItalianBull]

wow could you imagine. Floyd can just retire at that point and I won't say a word about it. you know, until berto becomes a big enough name. haha

 

[TysonJones]

Shut...........Floyd is ducking Joshua Clottey.

 

[SugarShane]

He is ducking Ivan Calderon and Nonito Donaire too.
