Don't you think Ricky Hatton in his last couple of fights looked ill at his weigh in? i can't find the pictures of them but i can remember watching them and thinking he's ill, and he never looks himself when he just gets into the ring any more, i can remember when he was in the ring and was just focused on the fight but yet again recently he has just not been bothered. Maybe Floyd Sr. has ****ed with his head in training, i just don't think he is himself any more! :frown:
Ricky Who?
Face it the guy just can't fight. He jumps in with his hands down against the best pound for pound in the world today. I could have knocked him out. The guy has heart, but he is a bumm!
Ricky Hatton always looks like that at weight ins. Against Malignaggi he looked like he had AIDs and dominated the fight. It's just that Hatton should not share the ring with great fighters.
Nah he was/is a great fighter and no-one can take that off of him, like it was said he lost 2 fights and when he fought them fights his opponent's was and are the best p4p boxer they was ranked #1, so really he has more than a fan base!
You never know he might fight on and one day get that number one you never know, no one knows what will happen but he lost two fights and they was against the number 1 p4p fighter, so really you can't say he only has a fan base! :poke:
No Hatton is not a great fighter and no-one can take it off him because he never had it, He beat average fighters(Tsyzu was a great win even at 35 but thats it) and he got KO twice against great fighters that doesnt make you great.
You just hate Hatton because you're a biased bitter-Witter fan. Witter was the one who was never elite and also had no fans. Witter had his chance against a VERY beatable Judah and then got smoked by Bradley. That's not Ricky's fault!
No need to cry over your spilled milk, I have an opinion just like you do, I just prefer not to be blinded by hatton doesnt mean i cant voice my opinion and my opinion is Hatton is a good/average fighter who fought people at the right time, The moment he fought people in their prime he got KO twice....You cant milk the Tsyzu win for ever mate sorry.
Who said anything about pac?........review my history....never hated on hatton...................nope never did............im just going with your logic................i mean ....isnt it possible a "non-elite" like hatton(using your term) loss to Pacman...without any underlying excuse?.......thats all......LOL
Am not making an excuse for Hatton, I have alway maintained that Hatton is an average/good popular fighter with a huge fanbase which endure him to the big-names, Cotto is a better fighter than Hatton but he doesnt have the same fanbase that hatton have but cotto is more elite for me than Hatton.
Hatton is a small fighter with short arms and lacks great 1 punch power. Ricky has NO choice but to fight the way he does with pressure, he'll never be a defensive wizard. His defense was using the clinch when inside and having a good chin. Now that his chin apparently has been broken down from the many wars he was in he has to carefully pick his future opponents should he decide to fight on past his prime.
There's also no shame not being on Pac or Floyd's "level" because nobody else is either and there are some GREAT fighters that tried and also failed on that "level" it's not like there's 20 fighters that great at JWW and WW. Hatton had enough talent that if Pac or Floyd had an off night and he was on, he could easily have pulled off the upset like he did against Tszyu and Castillo! There was a reason Ricky was the underdog in all of those fights and Ricky should get more credit then he does for having MANY great victories over Champions and really good contenders and never losing to a fighter below his talent level like so many boxers do. It takes a GREAT fighter to beat Ricky Hatton, respect!
He got worked up with the activity and threw the game plan out of the window... simple as that...
Yeah he just fights how he wants to fight, you heard Floyd Mayweather Sr. say that he didn't listen to word he said in the corner, he went in all trained up with defensive knowledge but he never used it!
He just needs to learn to use defence then he could fight again untill then there is no point!
I wouldn't say it was will to learn, just the fact he can't, i mean in the 24/7 he was learn defence but he just don't use it, he just can't fight with defence!

Can't blame Mayweather, Sr. for it, he just wasn't good enough to beat Pacquiao or Mayweather... that's it. Roach and Mayweather, Sr. said he wasn't the same since the Mayweather, Jr. loss but I don't think that has much to do with it, he just wasn't on Pacquiao's level and used no defense.
His punch resistance, mos def ain't what it was. He wen't from taking bombs from Kosta, to getting hurt by Luzcano
This is true.
Thats why i knew Pacquiao would stop him, i predicted to be late though because i knew Hatton would show up in great shape.
Floyd Mayweather gave Hugman a dose of reality and now he has lost his fight, and has been all talk covering his lack of skill and will to learn.
I wouldn't say it was will to learn, just the fact he can't, i mean in the 24/7 he was learn defence but he just don't use it, he just can't fight with defence!
stop coming up with excuses
Take it you don't read, i aint making excuse i admitted he got beat by the best on the night, i'm just saying recently he has looked ill!
Excuses you should go tell that to Billy Graham aswell!

Hatton's been in too many wars with too many mediocre fighters. It catches up with you eventually.
Most boxers can use this excuse when they took a L. SMH.
Look this isnt about pacman, Hatton gets himself into wars with mediocre fighter when he wasnt suppose to pre-Tsyzu.. And Hatton isnt elite for me, He has a big fanbase and thats the only thing elite about him.

ricky hatton is a great fighter in sense that he was able to achieve a great deal with the limited talent that he had...
beating kostya, vince philips, malignaggi & castillo en-route to a 5 year stronghold of the lineal 140 title with that limited talent? he made the most of what he had...
it was really wrong for floyd sr to make him what he really isn't...
WTF..............LOL......it was constructed in a poltically correct way................LOL:usa2:
It was a constructed question in the way of a 'Hater'.
Fess up!
Hatton beat 7 or 8 Champions in a row in 2 weight divisions and 2 of them were top 10 P4P fighters that Ricky beat (Tszyu, Castillo) so Ricky is far from an "average" fighter. Ricky was a great fighter that lost to two of the best fighters of this generation and P4P#1 ranked when he fought them. There's no shame in that, I don't see anybody else beating Pac or Floyd...
Serious question.....if you fought mediocre competetion.doesnt that make you.....shall we say an "average" fighter?..................hence losing to elite fighters no matter what the so called "weight" problem...........:luvbed:

Hater alright!

Perfect statement!!! Yes he has been in wars but against mediocre fighters...If people like Mayweather,Pacman,cotto had fought the same people Hatton fought they wouldnt be anywhere near damage like hatton seem...
