first off he doesnt fight in the u.s. cause he knows he'll get that ass beat. and second he doesnt fight in the u.s. cause he knows his fan base is in britain nobody knows who he is in the u.s. thats why he's not fighting any americans really cause he'll know what the out come is he comes jumping at you what kind of way to fight is that the only thing he needs is a left hook. and now he wants to fight the defeater of vivian harris probably the least known champion in the 140lb division. hes trying to pick off the old and weak in the division. how bout he fight a mayweather,cotto,corrales,even gatti. from what i see he has no punching power just stamina and really no speed just a fan base pretty much. so in lasting words i think ricky hatton is a piece of **** and tries to go threw mazes so he really doesnt have to fight n e one good or in the states!!!!!!!!!

Ricky Hatton has fought in American a handful of times already.

Ricky Hatton has fought tonnes of Americans throughout his career.

Ricky Hatton is one of the most skilled fighters I've seen.

Ricky Hatton has said that he will definately fight Mayweather unless Mayweather moves up in weights and stuff and does the ducking.

what i meant to say is non in the states

If he is one of the most skilled fighters you have ever seen, then you must be pretty blind.

Either Your pretty damn blind, or you haven't seen much of Hatton.

Three times to be exact is not exactly a handful.

He's fought at Madison Square Garden, in Atlantic City and in Detroit. While in Detroit, he trained at the KRONK Gym and Manny Steward said "Out of all fighters in world boxing today, none of them are more talented than Ricky Hatton. Remember the name because he's a future all-time great."

Either Your pretty damn blind, or you haven't seen much of Hatton.

I have seen him, he looses his next match against any decent fighter here in the US

Maussa KO Hatton in the 9th

Maussa KO Hatton in the 9th

That is really stretching it. I think Maussa would be lucky to survive that fight. The guy has really slow hands and is taylor made for Hatton.

Hatton had well over 100 amateur wins, and you don't ****ing beat all the best Cuban's in the amateurs unless your very, very skilled.

I suppose you haven't noticed the angles he uses? I suppose you haven't noticed the corkscrew uppercuts, variations of defence, triple left-hooks and everything in between.. the guy is sick, and the best body-puncher in the world today.

the best body-puncher in the world today.

I think Sugar Shane Mosley is.

I think Sugar Shane Mosley is.
I don't, I think Ricky Hatton always has been.

most skilled???
hatton doesnt rely on skills when he fights. there are many many more talented fighters out there than hatton

Well you think what you like dude, if you cannot see Hatton's skill factor then you must be either blind or dumb. The guy has always had sick skill.

It's sick because it's amazing how little talent the guy has and how protected he has been and come so far.

He got really lucky against Zoo IMHO. He won't be so lucky next time.

it's amazing how little talent the guy has
You obviously don't know **** about boxing and have no place on a boxing forum, that's one of the most insane comments ever known to man.

Its just the truth.

Its just the truth.
You couldn't be further from the truth, I've never seen anybody with such natural talent. The truth is that you don't know **** about boxing, what you said is outrageous.

Never seen anyone with that much natural talent? Could it be because you are too busy hugging UK fighter's nuts?

No, I don't hug any UK fighters nuts with the exception of Eubank (and to a lesser extent Benn).

I saw Ricky in the amateurs and I've not seen such natural talent, he was a ruthless kid who paid the best of the Cuban's no respect and just went in there as a bundle of energy and out-skilled them every second of every round!

Hatton should probably try to take a tough fight in America so the people there can see how good he really is and he really is good. I think he is one of the few people who would have a chance against Mayweather.
I think he is fighting Maussa because he wants an easier fight after the Tszyu fight and he will then also be a unified champion. Meaning Mayweather has to fight him before moving up. Otherwise nobody would say that Mayweather had cleaned out light welter before moving to welter.

Hatton is the UNDISPUTED LIGHT-WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION and everybody tom, dick and Harry will say he is rubbish because they are JEALOUS AND come from America. Just to let u guys know one thing who invented BOXING ?

Remember that he can travel to usa only to fight the top guns ie Mayeather, Gatti or Cotto (Cotto does not have a bigger fanbase than Hatton ?)

But just u guys remember when he comes to the States it will be just like when Nigel Benn came over battered Iran Barkley in case people forgot Benn came over with over 2,000 supporters Hatton will bring at least 5,000 and they be chanting "england england england, england england englandd"

HATTON IS DOING THE RIGHT THING let them all ***** like guys but u go and get the titles the right way already unofficial undisputed champion just wants complete recognition by obtaining the belts.

One thing I was Hatton i would have gone for the Judah Fight as he won everybody won have to shut their mouths as he would be a Hall of Famer holding two undisputed World titles would be an achievement not match by many

The one thing about Hatton though is that he doesn't have much fan base outside of Manchester and isn't very well known outside of Manchester. If he has four or five fights left in him he should have one in Sheffield, definately one in London, one in Newcastle or Scotland or Birmingham, and then one or two in America I guess. So then people from other parts of our land can say "I saw the great Ricky Hatton" or "the great Ricky Hatton once fought in my city!" and **** like that :o

Look at Chris Eubank, he fought all over the UK, he was always on the road. And EVERYBODY knew him, not just boxing fans but EVERYBODY all over the country!

but that had more to do with free domestic tv coverage.

with hatton splitting from warren that still wont happen now.

Yeah good point, and I suppose not just live terrestrial ITV but Eubank's own self-promotion :)

Although Eubank's Sky adventure was a nightmare as far as the World Tour went, he self-promoted himself well.

hattons **** at self promoting, hes too humble and down to earth, he lets his fists do the talking, id like to see him fight a couple of times in the states after hes mugged maussa

It's sick because it's amazing how little talent the guy has and how protected he has been and come so far.

Whoa dude, your WAY OUT OF LINE! I've been in the squared circle before and let me tell you that you can TELL Ricky Hatton throws some bombs to the body that would make just about any fighter out there **** himself. Luck Against Tzyu! Please, he made the proud warrior quit. He took his boxing soul that night.

I'm not really a Hatton fan (I was hoping for KT to knock him off the map) but i respect his game. He has heart, and no matter where he goes, that will always give him an edge to compensate for any lack of skill he may have.

NUFF SAID

Totally disagree, he has all the skill in the world but lacks heart. If he had heart to go with his skill, he'd of been ****ing UNREAL.

Maybe i should defer on this issue to you, since you've obviously watched Hatton much more than i have. I have seen Hatton serveral times on SHOWBOX, and was impressed by his relentless aggresiveness. I may have confused "heart" for "adrelanie rush" as he always seems to want to fight for his Machester City crew.

Nevertheless, he is a tough-out for anyone in his division, including PBF.

The guy doesn't take the sport seriously enough and never has (his inbetween fight habits confirm this), but he knows that if he wants to keep winning and filling out the MEN (and filling up his bank account) he has to go in there as a bundle of energy which is what he's good at.

The Fool Who Made This Thread Needs A ***** Slap !!!!!

HATTON WILL KNOCK OUT ANY ONE IN HIS DIVISION REAL TALK :boxing:

big lynch is all on hattons nuts u guys r really hyping up those bodyshots he doesnt hit hard he just makes it seem like he hits hard.and he literally jumps on u just wait for someone with some power to go over there and hook his ass in the mouth

No he's not a pus.
