    New interview with Floyd up on BT. Tells Ricky all he has to do is sign the contract, and its his ass.

    Lets see if Hatton steps up to the plate, or if he's all talk regarding Floyd.

    The only clown is Ricky, if he doesnt take the fight. Hatton ALWAYS bad mouths Floyd, but its funny that he never actually talks about fighting him. Well Floyd has now called him up, and is willing, if Ricky doesnt back up his bad mouthing of Floyd and take the fight he's a pussy.

    Joony - even though I would pick Cotto over Hatton, I honestly feel that Hatton is the bigger thread to floyd. Styles.

    Cotto is just too patient and slow for Floyd, I'd love to see him win, but he'd just plod around getting potshotted the shit out of.

    Hatton would go for it, no question, and wrestling or not, he'd just bullrush floyd, make him fight, pressure him.

    Look at Corrales, as amazing as he was a fighter, he was patient. He wasn't a bullrush fighter, and neither is Cotto. That's why Floyd had his way with Corrales so easily. You can't wait for openings with floyd, you have to create them, and ruffle him, and make him fight.

    Even little JEsus Chavez had success doing that. Castillo had success pressuring him with timing and a jab.

    Yes, and I'm sure the contract will state a 90-10 purse in favor of Floyd.

    This fight will never happen.

    They're equally as guilty.

    Hatton's a bigger draw than Floyd, but Floyd going to England simply ain't gonna happen.

    Floyd's as full of caca as Hatton.

    Those two won't fight.

    So Ricky's all talk if he doesn't sign a contract that will certainly show a contract that has the fight in the United States, has him moving up a weight class he wasn't comfortable in AND has an 80/20 split in Floyd's favor?

    Please, let's see a real contract before labeling anyone a clown or a pussy. Floyd called out everybody and their mama in the past and it was bullshit more often than not. And isn't that idiot retired?

    The winner of this should fight the winner of Cotto vs. Margarito in Yankee Stadium the day before Puerto Rican Day. They'd sell it out.

    Take a guess at who I think would win Cotto vs. Margarito...

    Non issue. Floyd was only 148 in the ring vs Oscar, the exact same weight as Hatton against Castillo, and 4 pounds less than Jose. Even if they fight for Floyd's 154lb title it's a junior welterweight fight.

    why? We don't know what Floyd is going to offer Ricky so do ou expect Hatton to sign a 90-10 split just because Floyd responded? Hell what if the split is indeed something ridiculous does the make Floyd a pussy because he knows Hatton won't agree to that? It's not just ok here the contracts sign as you make it.

    Floyd saying sign the contract and that's your ass means nothing as we don't know what the contract says. It could say 90/10 Floyd and the fight at 154 for all we know. Now if Floyd says he will come back to 140 or a catch weight and the split isn't something crazy then lets get it on.

    Exactly, we don't even know if this offer is going to be for real.

    And although some Americans may find it hard to comprehend, Floyd can't call all the shots with Hatton.

    If Floyd fought overseas, would 11,000 people from Grand Rapids go to his fight? :lol:

    What happened to Floyd fighting Mosley? He's just going to continue to take his time and hope Mosley either retires or continues to age over the years while we wait for Floyd to just shut up and fight somebody already.

    floyd reminds me of ray leonard in the late 80s hand picking opponents. except leonard fought and beat great fighters while floyd's gunning for guys he's sure he can beat.

    That is why he's a clown, because it's been obvious to everyone that the retirement wasn't genuine.

    Does anyone talk about him as if he's really retired? :lol: Even HBO don't. His retirement is a silly farce.

    Mayweather's camp better offer something reasonable and Hatton better sign it instead of asking for $13 million like last time.

    People change their minds all the time. Is Ray Leonard a "clown" for having retired FIVE TIMES?

    Precisely. The pigment-less warrior says that Floyd fights like "Sheryl Crowe" (lol) and stuff like that, so he better man up and fight him.

    Maybe, BUT...Hatton is perhaps a bigger fight. Ricky has proven more than Cotto has to date.

    Humans are not God, they change their minds. Floyd may well have been sincere when he first mentioned his retirement, but with glow-n-the-dark guys calling him out at every opportunity...it's only human to want to shut his mouth.

    I would love nothing more than to see Floyd bust up that ghost and end his career.

    Floyd would be silly to go to England. He may get the Marvin Hagler treatment...as Hatton fans seem to be the type that....well....you know what I mean. :cool:

    Hatton has to stay fighting in the states, it's only fair. Floyd should offer him 60-40, that's fair and then let's get it on!!

    I'm under the impression tha Floyd WANTS the fight, and if so, he'l offer something reasonable so that it can be made. Hatton is the guy that may ask for parity...or something equally unrealistic.

    Why is that fair? You realize the fight would probably generate more money in England? And hatton has more fans?
