wiggyrichard Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I know that's what you meant about the body shots mate. Canelo was always going to be a cash cow for someone! Turning pro that young with that amount of promise...he was always going to have a Don King type in his ear. Tell you what I would have loved to have seen....Canelo v Hatton!!!

wiggyrichard Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yes Hatton was mate, I agree. Not calling a winner as I loved Hatton...but feck me that would have been pure aggression...would have been an amazing fight!!! Or Hatton v GGG (toe-to-toe in the centre of the ring and knock feck out of each other!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd had a drink last night so was chatting shit, Hatton was a welterweight, canelo is twice the size of him (not now obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canelo would have absolutely murdered Hatton. Canelo is just too damn big for him. Hatton couldn't even compete at Welterweight, he had two fights there, Mayweather and Luis Collazo. Collazo was arguably robbed and had Hatton badly hurt in the 12th. Hatton operated best at 140lbs, so like I say, too small to survive a fight with Canelo.

Although Hatton's footspeed had Mayweather troubled early, Mayweather would have found answers for Hatton's hit and hold style had he been able to do it more. Hatton really wasn't that good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 That was probably the worst I've seen Broner look, the man hasn't attempted to throw a combo in years, everything is ones or twos. He marketed himself as the bad guy a little too well and he certainly won't be missed, I can't see him having too many more big fights and will become a gatekeeper. Garcia is really good though, people have been talking about him fighting Crawford, I'd like to see that one, Crawford is probably my favourite fighter at the minute so I'd tip him to win it but it'd be a good fight for the boxing fan.

a m ole Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I met Hatton once when he was out of training after the Pacquiao fight in an airport, was surprised how small he was in stature. For a split second I looked at him and thought "I could take him". He was a lovey guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garcia vs Golovkin is 100% definitely not on the radar at all whatsoever. Most of the post fight 'who's next' stuff has centred around the likes of Lomachenko, Crawford or a run at 147lbs.

leemond2008 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I didnt watch it with the English commentary but could it have been something along the lines of "challenging canelo or GGG to be p4p#1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) McGregor Mayweather confirmed price of £19.95 in UK on Sky box office.
