ricky hatton is a overblown mickey ward

I like Micky Ward!!!!!! lol

Worst. Thread. Ever. Okay, right, there've been worst. Worst. Thread. Today.

Oi, nothing wrong with being of fairer complexion - my colouring is pretty similar to Hattons, although since I'm in barbados for meantime, I hope to be a little more swarthy by the end of september! I find myself in a similar situation; I'm not a Hatton fan particularly, and prefer other fighters in the welter range, but some of the crap spouted here makes me defend him, when really I think he's a tad lucky to be on a p4p top 10. But Micky Ward.....no way!

Utter sh*t, back to the drawing board.....

Hatton would get beaten by almost every quality fighter at 147 and most at 140. Collazo could've KO'd him if he had started on the attack earlier. Hatton has built his career on muscling around smaller, older and weaker competition. Plus, his whole strategy "Hold, Kidney Punch, Rabbit Punch, Hold, Hook, Hold..." is illegal and when the American refs start enforcing the rules, he will look just like a spoiled, non-battled-hardened Mickey Ward. I was initially excited to see Hatton after so much hype in the British Media, but I've seen enough and the only reason I would pay to see him now is to get the pleasure of seeing him further exposed as just plain ordinary. No wonder you call yourself 'Madcow' because you certainly can't be completely sane with comments like that. Hatton is anything but plain ordinary!

One bad night and these donut scoffing morons across the pond ae eating him alive. I don't understand why there is so much hate for a decent bloke like hatton, and wife beating thugs like corrales and mayweather are idolised. Must be the american mentality. Ricky will show all you anti-brit scum that the collazo fight was a one off.

Time will tell, my UK Brother....I say, almost without hesitation, that Hatton will be well out of the spotlight as a serious challenger by early 2008...I just don't see how anyone could think he's that good, but going back to the title of the thread- Hatton is a better fighter than Ward, period.

Hatton is a Bum!!! Hatton would get beaten by almost every quality fighter at 147 and most at 140. Collazo could've KO'd him if he had started on the attack earlier.

mickey ward and kosta would not have HELD and HIT each other for 11 rounds. You all swa the fight ricky cheated and the ref let him get away with it. Look at the collazo fight typical holding and hitting crap. You call that skill. At least mickey fought like a man and didn't resort to such cheap tactics. Corley beats hatton, witter, beats hatton, castillo, chico, urango they all starch the guy. He holds and hits and you think that is world class LOL Yup...everyone is calling you an idiot, but I didnt want to go that far. But this post just forces me to admit it. You are an idiot. And as I said, I am one of Mick's biggest fans, but I call it as it is.

You can add Massau to that list. This guy is an idiot. He also said that Judah and Ruiz were the same kind of fighter. Tells you a little bit about what he knows about boxing. I was wrong about him giving the Judah Ward comparison. Thats my bad, but this is still a ridiculous comment.

The Vince Philips That Fought Hatton..yea Mickey Ward Could Beat...the Rusty Tszyu That Hatton Fought..yes Mickey Ward Could Beat..collazo..probably Not...hatton Is Slighty Better But Not Alot..they Fought Alike Your a fucking idiot if you think that!!!! Mickey Ward could have never beaten Tsyzu.

Micky Ward could beat Tszyu, Collazo, Phillips? Evidently not. You can add Massau to that list. This guy is an idiot. He also said that Judah and Ruiz were the same kind of fighter. Tells you a little bit about what he knows about boxing.

B*lls*it! B*lls*it! How do you come to that conclusion??? well put mate

rickys a jr welter again and theres no1 to beat him , no matter wat age other jr welters are ricky is gonna rule the division until he retires , the only person who cud beat him is mayweather but hatton cud beat mayweather also Dont forget Castillo.

and on topic , if hatton is so alike ward why has hatton made it to the big time for the right reasons instead of beeing there because he had a good trilogy , ward never won a world title ( if u class wbu) ricky has won the wbu plus 3 of the major titles and one of them above hes natural fighting wieght

Ricky Hatton is a top 10 P4P fighter, like it or lump it we'll see how long that lasts when he fights a guy with skills who is his own age :boxing: rickys a jr welter again and theres no1 to beat him , no matter wat age other jr welters are ricky is gonna rule the division until he retires , the only person who cud beat him is mayweather but hatton cud beat mayweather also

I am one of Micky's biggest fans and I think the statement is stupid. Hatton is better than Micky was. Though wouldnt it be a great fight to watch them both face off?? mickey is better he never held and hit True, but you mean to tell me that Micky would have beaten Tszyu? Even if it was the aged Tszyu?

I agree Dino hatton reminds me of a smaller mickey ward. a c-level fighter. Hatton holds and hits and you call that talent and skill. maybe for a fighter of his ethnicity :cool: You must be a good friend of Dino, because to call Hatton (a two division champion) a c-level fighter is ridiculous!
