Was Hatton a British Hype Job?

I mean if he was, Manny just exposed that fool. For goodness sake, even Floyd Gayweather was able to stop him. Juan "Loser" Lazcano almost dropped that fool. Was Ricky just a British Hype Job? "even floyd gayweather was able to stop him" Ts says it like floyd doesnt have power. I can say something like that about you. here you go: "even Boxasmash is a better poster than you" Happy birthday bitch!

I think the point I was trying to make with this thread is that Ricky was over-hyped by the British fan base. I mean his popularity is absurd. And when it mattered most, in his biggest fights, he was simply owned.

british boxing fans think hugging too much is a very good skill.

You really think he was the 140lb king? REALLY...After Tzyou he beat Urango,Castillo,Mausa and Malignaggi hardly murders row! yes, hatton was king at 140 lbs. - urango is a current 140 lbs titlist. - castillo was a gimme / set-up fight for floyd - mausa was a former 140 lbs titlist (crazy as that is) - malignaggi was the #1 contender at 140 and former 140 lbs titlist it ain't a murder's row, but its solid Why didn't he fight Holt,Torres,Wittier or Cotto at 40 then? - holt and torres were too busy trading KOs with one another - witter got whupped by bradley - cotto wasn't gonna fight anybody good at 140. CUZ HE IS A FRANK WARREN CREATION. You think Holt,Torres,Wittier or Cotto would lose 11 of 12 rounds to PBF AND PAC and get KO'd BADILY TWICE? DOUBT IT! pbf and pac would spark holt, torres and witter for 12 rounds or less. pbf and pac would be considered favorites against cotto imho. Ricky never proved he was the best in Britain at 140. yeah but 140 in britain < 140 in USA. sorry.

Ricky never proved he was the best in Britain at 140.

You really think he was the 140lb king? REALLY...After Tzyou he beat Urango,Castillo,Mausa and Malignaggi hardly murders row! Why didn't he fight Holt,Torres,Wittier or Cotto at 40 then? CUZ HE IS A FRANK WARREN CREATION. You think Holt,Torres,Wittier or Cotto would lose 11 of 12 rounds to PBF AND PAC and get KO'd BADILY TWICE? DOUBT IT! He avoided Floyd at 140 thats why Floyd moved up to 147.

c'mon man, hatton was very good at what he did at 140 lbs and was the king of the hill there. p4p, hatton was hype. You really think he was the 140lb king?

Name another two weight world champion who has held the Linear and Ring belts for 5 years who is considered a hype job? Was Corrales a hypejob? Barerra? how about Morales? Hater much? He was a 2 weight champ because the WBA invented the regular belt to get a 2nd sanctioning fee. The real WBA champion was Ricardo Mayorga. He is just a 1 weight world champion.

It easy to make Hatton's record look good when you hide behind the belts he won, He beat Urango who was a 17-0 novice someone who a journalist said he couldnt even shadow box and i quote "i saw Urango shadowbox and yes the shadow won".. Carlos Maussa- Enough said another one of those easy-picking for another easy belt. Collazo- another one of those easy picking who turnout to be better than Team Hatton thought. Castillo-Shot to pieces, trying to pay off his debt Luazcano- a former lightweight who previously beaten before facing hatton And the fight i would actually give him credit for Paulie M.. All those fight were all easy picking after he fought Tsyzu...He was never the best boxer in the UK but he got all the credit in the world over here when the real skilled boxers like Joe Calzaghe didnt. the difference is that hatton was trying to make big fights and was willing to cross the pond and calz was scared to death to step outside the village limits to make a fight. also, but more likely the situation is that hatton is more charismatic than calz.

Yes he was I mean, he was obviously pretty good in his day, but the hype a certain element of Brits and our notorious media gave him was far too great considering his achievements and ability

c'mon man, hatton was very good at what he did at 140 lbs and was the king of the hill there. p4p, hatton was hype.

AGREED...Warren creation... The only reason Hatton even got to share the same ring w/ PBF AND PAC was because of his fan base...If hatton was born in Jersey he would have been a ESPN FNF fighter!

He was never the best boxer in the UK but he got all the credit in the world over here when the real skilled boxers like Joe Calzaghe didnt.That I agree with.

I mean if he was, Manny just exposed that fool. For goodness sake, even Floyd Gayweather was able to stop him. Juan "Loser" Lazcano almost dropped that fool. Was Ricky just a British Hype Job? Its possible that he was because whenever he faught top World fighters, he lost. So, its definately possible that he was a hype job.

Point being he NEVER beat even a PRIME good fighter. Collazo beat him and Collazo is O.K. not great, he faded vs Urango who is O.K.,Sorry Lazcano had him out if not for the ref...go re-watch it... Bottom line a world-class fighter supposedly in his prime doesn't get beat like a drum like he did vs Pac and PBF if he was world-class.Malinaggi is a prime GOOD fighter, Collazo is prime GOOD fighter, Urango is a prime GOOD fighter, Magee was a prime GOOD fighter. Collazo DID NOT beat Hatton, MOST people agree is was a close fight that Hatton won on the KD, Lazcano DID NOT come close to KO'ing Hatton, I HAVE watched the fight, multiple times, he WAS recovered before Lazcano was warned. he was warned 10 seconds BEFORE the fight was stopped for the lace. Hatton lost 1 round against Urango, ONE Fcuking round, get a fcuking grip.

SIMPLE...A world-class fighter DOES NOT step up to world class prime fighters and in 12 rounds lose 11 of those rounds and get BADLY KO'd twice! His best win was a SHOT Tyszu and J.L. Castillo. Other than that who he beat? Name another two weight world champion who has held the Linear and Ring belts for 5 years who is considered a hype job? Was Corrales a hypejob? Barerra? how about Morales? Hater much?

That what I'm saying he stepped out the U.K. and got EXPOSED. PBF and PAC EXPOSED him as not even belonging in the same ring. Collazo got robbed,Lazcano got robbed by the phantom shoelace ref call. Hatton NEVER beat a world class fighter in his prime.Most boxing writers gave the Collazo fight to Hatton, it was close but to call it a robbery is stupid. He beat Lazcano 12-0, 12-0, 10-2, was toally recovered by the time Lazcano was warned and wouldn't have been stopped in a month of sundays shoelace or no shoelace. Hardly any fighter in the history of boxing has beaten a true Prime Elite, in the modern era you can count them on one hand, if that is what a hype job is then the list is both long and distinguished.

Hatton NEVER beat a world class fighter in his prime. Yeah, but he was world class imo, come on now, he's not the league of Mayweather Jr, or Manny pacquaio, but that just means he's not a legend.
