Saul Alvarez vs. Mathew Hatton: They will have to scrape Hatton off the canvas
January 31st, 2011
By Francisco Hernandez: Not too long ago an over confident Ricky Hatton had the audacity to face a humble man from the Philippines who turns into a Tasmanian devil in the ring: Manny Pacquiao. Hatton had never really known the experience of getting savagely beat, he had been stopped by Floyd Mayweather but it was a regular TKO loss, the type you normally see in fights, but Hatton was not prepared for what awaited him, a beating so brutal that it caused a hush in the audience, many thought Hatton had expired. Fortunately Hatton revived and he will live to tell his grandkids how he survived one of the worst beatings Pacquiao has given to a fighter.
Rumors have it that El Canelo wants to make a big statement in this fight, because he is ready to go after fighters with names, and he is going to make sure that Hatton doesn’t get up from the canvas without help, they are going to have to carry Hatton out of the ring. Alvarez needed a victim to destroy and reckless Mathew Hatton raised his hand, he asked for it.
What will probably happen is that Hatton will realize his fatal decision and pull out of the fight alleging an injury and they will have to find another fighter to replace him, better for him because El Canelo is anxious to knock someone’s head off.

Saul sure showed he’s not a “nobody” anymore…. Think this kid is someone to watch.
Canelo was nearly Ko’d in his fight against the brother of Cotto. Jose Cotto was a blown up lightweight. Matthew is a full blown career welterweight. He don’t have Rickys punching power but he has what Ricky didn’t and thats a good defence and a better technical game in the ring. Plus he has a better chin lol. I would go as far to say this fight is gonna be a walk over for Canelo. Hatton can beat this kid if he comes up with and sticks to a good game plan
To the writer of this article,
My name is Jenna and I am Matthew’s partner.I wouldn’t usually bother writing in but I thought I would put you straight on a few things:
1. He will not be pulling out of the fight
2. He is not reckless
3. He is in fantastic shape and is looking forward to the biggest fight of his career which has come off through hardwork and dedication.
4. Matthew has only ever been put down once in his entire career….I’m sure most people would agree that this does not make a fight “chinny”. He went on to clearly win the fight..
Regards,
Jenna Coyne
well this isnt a bias article at all…just look at the name of the author. clearly its going to be a fair preview…whata joke
alvarez is no pacquiao.He is strong young and good,better than hatton for sure.But priog,or even pavlik should he decide on the middlewieght range again will give the Mexican wonder boy all he can handle.do not get me wrong this kid Cinamon is going to be at the top level along time.if he fights the top wrungers then we will know more.
Matthew Hatton is not reckless like Ricky. He will stay on the outside and box. I think it will be a great fight.
and this writer wants to talk about Ricky being a bad boxer..wow..he beat some of the best, and lost to the best. I dont see the issue.
whoever wrote this article is a jerk. Give R. Hatton respect. He fought the best, and so he didn’t win but he never ran away. He took it like a man. So he was way over his prime by the time he fought Pacman. You can’t blame Hatton for that. He has been in some really tough fights and he has beaten some great fighters. Give him at least SOME respect.
like his brother m hatton has not shyed away from a big name and taken his chance without a second thought hel go out there give all his got if he gets knocked out he gets knocked out he still went out there, hope he shows that british and european fighters have taken the boxing world by storm with our style of fighting just look at alexander bradley fight compared to khan’s war with maidana!
I agree Tivo this just might be a case of Alvarez being overhyped and Hatton being underestimsted, but whoever win respect to both fighters.
Matt hatton is a clown and will be sparked out..
If I remember rightly, Hatton was still considered a credible opponent. Yeah, Pac beat him up, but so what? It happens and as Hatton himself has said “it’s not a tickling contest”
M Hatton has got more stones than most modern fighters today, and if he goes the same way as his brother, so what? At least he had a pop at the best and that’s worthy of anyones respect.
Fighting the best will make you best too.
Ricky and Matthew is not the same even they are both Hatton.
Unlike Floyd Mayweather, who hide from the PACMAN and continue claiming he is the greatest fighter of all time.
Support the guy, go Matthew go!!!
glad to see people on here giving some support for a change, makes a change
keep your mouth shut, this man like his brother wants to fight the best to get to the top the way he should and your avin a go go. If you dont think he can do it then fine but at least hes avin ago and not messin around and messin the fans around like some fighters let the lad av ago and maybe a suprise
At least the Hattons dont hide under any rocks, despite what people think they have always taken on all – comers. This is what all good fighters do. Show a bit more respect Hernadaez
Yeah, this might be ugly. I thought el canelo signed to fight someone else.
