Ricky Hatton

he was a good fighter but i dont support him anymore because he lost Calzaghe is far superiour, just ask Ricky's missus Haha. Harsh words.

I agree Hatton's resume doesn't match up to Calzaghe but Tszyu >>>>> Lacy, I mean come on...

You obviously don't follow boxing as a whole, strictly British boxing, eh? Malignaggi looked like a very very good fighter prior to Cotto, he still didnt have any power but was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better pre Cotto. Slick footwork, fast feet, fast hands, nice jab, nice head movement. What happens next? Cotto. The man fights his heart out and gets beat up really badly in process (incase you weren't aware of this). Paulie is applauded for his courage and his stock kinda goes up due to the amount of heart he showed against Cotto and then what......................... look at his fights post-Cotto (this means after the Cotto fight, you coward) and it becomes more and more apparent that he's past it (and borderline shot) Cotto couldnt put him down with all that firepower and Hatton rocked him BADLY. That itself is a sign. I could elaborate more but i've wasted enough time on you. I would not waste any more of your time on him, if I were you. Personally, I believe that he is a wind-up. You know, just a guy joking around and trying to annoy people on her. Malignaggi was obviously shot, so to speak, before the Hatton fight.

Who by? The killer of Tupac? Very good!

just because hatton's not undefeated doesn't mean anything... there's no shame in losing to the #1 p4p boxer. Calz's claim to greatness is being unable to KTFO a shot fighter like RJJ who was KTFO 2x already. first off, Hatton didn't just lose to Floyd... he was completely humiliated and outclassed... he didn't deserve to be in the ring with someone that much better than him second, his record is far inferior to Calzaghe's. Calzaghe has quite a few high risk/low reward names on his record that he was beating during his SMW reign... you probably never heard of them, but that takes nothing away from them as fighters and challenges. Hatton lacks these solid wins bolstering up his resume, he went from beating bums, to beating shot fighters, to getting the shit kicked out of him by a great Calzaghe has never looked out of his depth against the world-class fighters he fought... or if he did one time against a contempary great, comparable to Money May, in Bernard Hopkins, he managed to adjust, grit his teeth and scrape a narrow win regardless (and old Hopkins is not to be dismissed as he showed against Pavlik) Calzaghe notched up 3 wins that blow any of Hatton's boxing achievements out the water in a relatively small space of time (Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins) when he was approaching the end of his career his wins over the likes of Robin Reid, Chris Eubank and even Richie Woodhall eclipse Hatton's wins over a very, very far gone Castillo and an avergae Malignaggi oh and if you just compare their pure talent, Ricky isn't in his league either

Who by? The killer of Tupac? lol :fing02:

he's no where near Calzaghe...... just because hatton's not undefeated doesn't mean anything... there's no shame in losing to the #1 p4p boxer. Calz's claim to greatness is being unable to KTFO a shot fighter like RJJ who was KTFO 2x already.

Hattons shit because he is not American blah blah blah. wait, he's not american?

Hattons shit because he is not American blah blah blah.

where the hell is this clown? BritishFightFan where art thou?

I think he's better than Calz he's no where near Calzaghe......

We all know that Ricky Hatton is an agreeable young man as he sacrifices huge amounts of his time and his money to help various charities. He has also done a huge amount for the popularity of our great sport. However, how good a boxer is he? He has always fought the very best (Castillo, Mayweather, Malignaggi) but will he go down as one of the top three greatest ever British boxers when he retires? British boxing??? sure, knock yourselves out... I think he's better than Calz

Haha. What on Earth has sparked all of these insults? How is Malignaggi "shot" at 28? You obviously don't follow boxing as a whole, strictly British boxing, eh?

if Hatton beats Pacman i will eat every bad word i've ever said about him and all my hats too

For Ricky, his legacy is to be determined. His most notable wins (Castillo, Tszyu, Malignaggi, Lazcano) were all against guys that weren't at their best. Not taking anything a way from those wins, but it's true. We'll find out where Ricky will place in legacy in the next couple years. If he beats Pacman, things will get very interesting.

Vargas is shot (and has been for some years) and he's what? like 32? Age has NOTHING to do with being shot you coward Is Hopkins shot at 43? NO Paulie might not be completely shot but he's been ruined by Cotto - the downward spiral is obvious (and borderline shot) you bum. Haha. What on Earth has sparked all of these insults? How is Malignaggi "shot" at 28?

:rofl: you bum.

Malignaggi shot??? The guy has only just turned 28! I know Hatton is not an all time great or anything, but you are clutching at straws here.

NO Paulie might not be completely shot but he's been ruined by Cotto - the downward spiral is obvious (and borderline shot) you bum.

Malignaggi was arguably a bit damaged although shot is way too harsh a term but more importantly, he just plain wasn't that great to start with... his mouth put him in the position he was in prior to the Hatton fight plus the fact that he punches like a child meant he was the perfect opponent for Hatton at the time, considering his questionable punch resistance as of late
