why Ricky hatton is the most important man in Boxing

It's his charisma along with his fighting style and public persona that pulls the punters in. He's not a GREAT fighter by any means but still a good to very good fighter in his weightclass.

there is no sets of fans in the world like the brits. we are just too passionate and are on a level with usa in terms of fighters and we are 100x smaller lol. hatton is a good fighter and people watch him because he always puts on a show. his fights are always worth watching.

He has the ability to get the casual fan to get up of his arse and pay to watch him live. No other fighter on the planet has that ability. Last night was a great success. 56000 people, great atmosphere, a really good fight in which hatton totally dominated. Also Paulie was right, people will go home remembering him. It was'nt for his boxing ability like he said but because he's a fucking tool who embarrassed himself and froze in the limelight. If you talk the talk you have got to have something to back it up All in all a great nights entertainment. Roll on more great nights. I bet you yanks wish your fighters could put on great events that people will remember for all their lives Very true, i guess the Americans take big fights for granted as it seems to be a big fight is 'has' to be over there. Even when i went to the states for Calzaghe it seemed like it was only the brits making it a good atmosphere, shame because all the Americans i met where decent enough people.

boys, it's not yanks vs. brits: essentially people warm to Ricky because he has great heart. He is a good but not great fighter.

so true feed-the-goat, and what these big mouth yanks have to understand is that he is a humble guy and thats what makes him a truly great champion unlike idiots like Mayweather, Tyson, Malinaggi etc
