ROUND BY ROUND: "THE WAR" RICKY HATTON vs. JOSE LUIS CASTILLO

well.. depends on what you consider "murda"

I have boxed.. for me it is frustrating to fight someone you can not hit and can toy with you like FLoyd..

Floyd would totally whup him, maybe not an easy KO but it would be BOXING 101 and that can be worse!

 

I'd love to see Juan Diaz move up next year and fight Hatton for the Jr. Welterweight title.
Diaz is far too busy and fights off of too many angles for The Hitman IMO, and would win a landslide decision on points, probably around 10-2.
I know they both like and respect one another, and hopefully this time next year if Hatton can maintain his current fighting weight, this fight will happen.
I don't know what Mr King's plans are for Juan, but I can head over to the gym week after next and get some comments when I can get a few hours off of the grind.

 

Cotto would beat Hatton. Hatton would stop Juan Diaz.

 

Seeing that Miguel is a full fledged middleweight, I agree he would beat Ricky, but don't hold your breath waiting for that fight to happen anytime soon.
As far as Diaz goes, time will tell if Ricky can keep hitting the weight at jr welter, which I am very dubious he can.

 

Despite his tendency to bloat, his relatively small frame enables him to stay at that weight. Much like Tszyu.

I know Diaz is your boy, but he wouldn't beat hatton. I was very impressed with him versus freitas, and to be honest I have gone off hatton because of his holding, but Diaz just doesn't hit hard enough.

Diaz has a good workrate and good stamina, but that's not enought to beat hatton. Hatton is faster and hits a lot harder, and would just manhandle Diaz.

It would be ugly, but hatton would win.

 

I have no doubt that at 140lbs Hatton would have stopped Cotto in a good fight. At 147lbs I'm not so sure...

 

Hatton would wipe his ass with the Baby Cow.
