William's Mail Pouch
Manny vs. Ricky

By William Trillo

As strange as it may seem to some, even I on occasion get feedback on my articles...will wonders never cease! Of course I don't have the incredible amount of fans as many of my peers, nor do I write fan mail to myself and pretend I have people who worship me, errrr,  allegedly, but I do at times get a letter or two from someone who stumbles across our "cookie cutter" little site. Obviously I don't need an entire Mailbag, so let me dig into my little pouch and see what's there. 
 
This letter in regards to my recent article about Ricky Fatton vs. Money Pacquiao made me chuckle and I thought I would share it with you.
 
Right on. It's a total travesty. Hatton should fight Wittter, who he's been evading forever. Witter beats the crap out of Hatton. Manny is way too small although he is a hell of a lot better (& more exciting ) fighter. Hatton was lucky to fight a far past prime Kosta Tszyu. His whole rep is based on one big fight. Hatton is a fat beer sucking slob, period!

Dear Dax,
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you are from Merry Ol' England, and if I am correct then you are keen on the fact that Hatton has been ducking Witter for a longtime now and the chances of Witter ever getting a shot are miniscule now that Ricky has his eyes on the big prize. And no I am not talking about that keg of Guinness Hatton plans on drinking this weekend. 
 
Also, let's not forget that Hatton built up some points here in The States when he defeated another past his prime fighter in Jose Luis Castillo.
 
I am thinking Hatton has went on this booze and beer bender because he can't cope with what could have been. If you think the fight with Manny is ridiculous, how much more bizarre would it have been to see Hatton in the ring with the Golden Boy himself? Had Ricky been able to stay prone for 2 and a half more rounds with Mayweather, he would have set himself up for a payday of epic proportions. As we know, Hatton failed and now it's a wonder he can stay prone at all if his alcohol consumption reports are true. 
 
Well that got me in the UK spirit. Think I'll go put on my Man U T-shirt and go grab me some Chips & Mushy Peas. 
 
 
 
Wow, that was fun! I sure hope I get to do that again! C'mon I know one of my 7 other readers must have something to say about the dribble I write. Or not.
