Hey, Yank Hatton Haters

Hatton's defense is his offense.... I'll watch him ever chance I get for the duration of his short career....at least I hope he retires when he gets worn-out, instead of renting himself out as a punching-bag-for-hire like Gatti and Morales.

i am a "yank" and hatton is very high on my list of the best current fighters.

Im glad to be an american! I ain't no hater it's just that the boxer you all idolize is going to lose once he faces real competition! Just remember my name. When Hatton Vs Cotto happens holla @ me i'll be glad to take your points When Hatton Vs Floyd happens holla @ me i'll be glad to take your points When Hatton Vs J.L.C happens holla @ me i'll be glad to take your points !!!UNDEFEATED!!! !!!REMEMBER MY NAME!!! !!!I'll take all your points!!!

I like Ricky Hatton, and I think he would give Mayweather a decent fight, but I don't see him winning. I'd never count him out, though. I think Hatton-Cotto would be a classic, and I'd put my money on Ricky. However, I think Castillo would TKO Hatton due to cuts. Hatton's capable of beating every person he squares off against, but if he takes on Baldomir, his detractors are going to let him have it. He has 40 fights under his belt, and I don't buy that he needs a couple tune-ups before taking a big fight in the states.

The Brit-hatred is 100% to do with nationality, American's are bullies and have bitter hatred towards Britain for whatever reason I don't know. That's ridiculous. We, as a people, most certainly do NOT hate the British. You're proof that, if anything, it's the other way around. Give it a rest.

Be patient with us Yanks. We grew up in a sporting world where our national champs are called world champs (still so in basketball and baseball, even though we no longer hold first rank in these sports). It is hard for us to imagine that foreigners, especially white europeans, can compete with our best athletes. The Euro influx of the NBA and the Eastern dominance of the heavyweight boxing ranks will eventually chnage that. I don't think most of us hate Hatton. It is just that many of us are preparing for disappointment by lowering expectations (see Wlad K, Darko Milicic, etc.). We feel a right to say you are not great until you have done great things here. Sure, some overdo it and they are mostly self-hating whites or black racists who feel uncomfortable seeing their stereotypes challenged.

I'm no limey, don't hate limeys either. I think that Hatton is the man to dispel the myth of PBF's invincibility and I also am picking Calzaghe to expose Left Haymaker. Wanna make a bet? I'll take your points to.. Lacy vs Calzaghe...I got lacy how about it? you call the points :cool:

its just plain cotto nuthuggers most of the pbf fans seem to respect him Im a cotto/PBF fan. I am not nuthugging. It's just that all of the brits seem to hype hatton so much. He has fough 40 fights and beat tszyu (The only name on his resume that is acceptable) and fought 39 bums. Don't get me wrong i like hatton but he doesn't have what it takes to take Floyd. Cotto vs Hatton is a good fight. It's a pick'em fight but i belive Cotto will get though Hattons pressure style and end the fight with a KO. You seem how many times kostya tszyu hit hatton while he was coming in. It's that tszyu didn't hit him flush and i know Cotto will. As for Floyd i see him schooling Hatton. Winning by a UD or late KO. Hatton hasn't faced real competition YET. Kostya tszyu was one but that's the only fight you could bring up and not only did Hatton Beat him, He beat him in a unprofessional manner. Dirty tactics and consecutive clinching during rounds. Hatton has fought like that in his last two fights with names from the US that had good records (Maussa is garbage) and Hatton seemed to have clinched alot in those two fights. Is this Hattons new style? Is Hatton taking classes with Ruiz? I don't know but we shall see how Hatton's performance is on his next upcoming fight. IMO Hatton's record is padded he will not make it nowhere once he sets foot in the US with a real fighter.

true that boxing is unlike anyother sport you get your man and your support him to the fullest then most hate every other fighter in the game. i was that way when i was in full swing roy jones's camp but really there are a lot of exciting fighters out there and i want to see them fight each other before i switch over to ufc where they actually do fight each other.

hey, as long as its not another meaningless pac thread, VIVA HATTON!

i like hatton as well but i agree with everyone elese he cant beat pbf. now seeing him fight cotto that would be tight, i'd even like to see him smack gatti around or a real good fight would be with malignaggi.

We don't hate him. We just know that it they fight, Floyd will smack him around like a Vegas street bitch.

LOZR, what are you talking about?

Ohhhh, my dick got hard. Old news. Hatton is world class and even the most hateful poster would acknowledge this! True dat Kimmy.

Whats up with this ? i see in other threads, i dont get this. Hatton is respectful and nice, why hate on him ? As a boxer Hatton is special, always has been. You should check out some of his pre - Zoo fights, he has good speed and clean punches at his best, avoids punches at times without even trying it looks, footwork and timing sense to boot, not to mention exciting punches when he unloads. Give him his dues, Zoo was supposed to be invincible and all Yanks said Hatton stood no chance ( even though they hadnt watched Hatton fight before ), yet Hatton set his gameplan out to jump all over Zoo and not care if it was messy just not give him time to set. It was ugly but it worked ! Even Roger Mayweather admits after viewing past Hatton fights that Hatton is real real good Not everyone that hates Hatton is a "yank",as you put it. Saying stuff like that starts arguemnets friend. I for one like Hatton but he will lose to PBF.
