Hatton would get more respect if he had achieved what he has achieved, but done it without all the holding. It just makes people think he is incapable of beating those fighters without the mauling and holding. In that sense no matter who he beats or what he achieves it will always be tainted by the fact he did it by mauling and holding. Ive never seen a fighter hold as excessively as Hatton..........never. There are guys like Mosley and Duran that would hold occasionally, but they never held no where near as much as Hatton.
I cant respect a fighter that holds. I just dont like it. It makes you cringe when you see how much holding Hatton did in 4 rouds against Castillo. How much holding did he do in the Urango fight?
You know for a fact Hatton's game plan against Pacquiao is to maul him and hold him push him around physically. I wont respect him if he wins that way. The same as i to this day dont respect his win over Tszyu.
i remembered during Tyson and Holyfield fight, when Holyfield do a lot of holding. mauling and hugging, the fight was shit, im not happy at all,holyfield doesnt deserved the win, he was so fcking afraid at tyson's powerpunch. The exciting part of that fight is when tyson got pissed off and bites holyfields ear!! LOL
it is not a convincing win if the boxer do a lot of mauling and holding, and not entertaining to watch.
I'd rather watch Hatton maul someone over a fighter that puts on their track shoes every fight potshot their opponent just barely enough to eek out each round and be content with it. Ala Mayweather, Calderon, Luevano, etc. I didnt see any complaints coming from the thread starter when Hopkins was trying to maul and hold Calzaghe the entire fight.
hatton is a hugger.a hugger is never a real fighter.they are scared of getting countered.
i hate it very much too.its like its unfair.it gives a boring fight also.DLH never hug.thats why i like him throughout his career.MANNY PACQUIAO THE BEST!
fans like you are trash....just disrespecting fighters and fans.....get some class yourself.
who died and made you god
I only disrespect Hatton because what he does it not Boxing. See 2.57 of the video i posted.
I think its funny that you are probably one of those morons in the crowd singing" there's only one Ricky Hatton" :lol1:
You cant see what a fool the rest of the world thinks you sound and look like.
Who cares where he was ranked. I knew Bradley,Witter,Holt were better fighters than Malignaggi. I knew Hatton was going to win. Ngoudjo and N'dou made him look horrible.
Hatton fans are classless neanderthal morons, they act as though have escaped from some where.

your a cry baby....the old washed up mexican got 4 of his ribs broke...he should have known better then getting i nthe ring with a ferocious body puncher
Ferocious body puncher :lol1:
Anyone could do what Hatton does. If your allowed to push someone back or pin them on the ropes then punch them its not that hard to be an effective body puncher.
Cotto,McCallum,Mosley,Arguello,Dawson are real Body punchers. They dont cheat to land.
wow you dont know shit kid....first off paulie didnt have a belt in that fight....and ring mag had him ranked the number 2 jr. welter at the time hatton beat him....and hatton's fans are the most loyal and passionate fans out there....nobody else can bring 15,000-20,000 fans overseas....its great for the game....quit being a hater

Malignaggi was a belt holder he was not the second best 140lbs in the divison. I knew that before the fight and i reiterated it. I give Hatton credit though there was less holding in that fight which was good to see.
:lol1: Hatton fans are a bunch of classless lager louts. They give Britain a bad image with their disrespectful no self respect attitude.

Beating Urango-Castillo-Collazo-Tszyu was achieved by hugging because he could not beat them without holding.
I dont care if Hatton wins a 100 fights, if he does it by hugging im not interested. Im the real fan not you, because i like Boxing. You know where people punch instead of hold and punch
hear ! hear ! - spoken like a true boxing fan.
can you imagine if every fighter started fighting
like hatton ? ... it would be like watching two
drunks with their arms around each other - lol
2.57
all right whatever you say....did you watch the paulie fight? sounds like you didn't.....and for the record boxing wouldnt be as great with out hatton's fans

why some people are a broken record in here, about this hugging thing.....45-1 does not happen by just hugging.....castillo is a inside fighter as well, late in his carear...sure its debatable about the collazo fight but i think the judges got it right on the scorecard hatton did win 7 rounds if yo uwatch the fight.....and the urango scorecards hatton won 10-2 in rounds....hatton def, should get your respect man.....and tszyu did just as much dirty tricks in that fight then hatton did.

Hatton almost got knocked out by Collazo and its debatable whether he won the fight. Did you see his face after the fight? he was battered and wobbled in the fight.
He turned his fight with Tszyu into Wrestlemania because the English ref allowed it.
He held onto Juan Urango for dear life.
He done more holding in 4 rounds of the Castillo fight than most people do in 12 or 15.
Hatton was not allowed to hold Mayweather and he got destroyed.
This is Boxing not wrestling, its about the punches not the hugs.

the bottom line is that the guy has been lineal jr. welter champ for the past 4 years....and is 45-1, and his only loss is to the greatest fighter of the generation.....hatton certainly has earned respect.....fact, jack

Best you listen to Hattons own corner telling him he is smothering himself and to get off Floyd , it was Hatton doing all the shoving and pushing and he wasnt punching on the inside because he got beat there too so he just mauled ,, why that was happening was that Ricky was too shit frightened to give Floyd any punching room .
The truth. That is exactly what happened.
