My thoughts on Ricky Hatton.

I'm rewatching Tzyu vs Hatton and Hatton would never be allowed to fight that way anywhere but England. Yeah i rewatched that fight recently and was pretty bored by it to be honest

Hatton is a B class fighter, not C. I cant stand Hatton but calling him C class is a bit excessive. Agreed, he was a good fighter not a great fighter. I have to admit I dont really enjoy watching him fight, but you've got to give props to how dedicated he is to his fans and also how charismatic he is outside the ring

Well i think that most people would agree that the top boxers on most lists are african americans. Hagler is my favourite boxer. I don't care about the national issue. Hell yeah man, Pernell Whitaker is my favorite(surpise surprise). Yeah I think we can all agree that African Americans are the best from both America and Enlgland like we have Halger and you got Lennox Lewis.

I think it is hard to say which country had/has the better fighters. We have both had greats and have good fighters now. I guess most of my all time favorites happen to be american ( but not because they are american), but I also like alot of british fighters. Hatton being one of them.

"Hatton only lost to 2 P4P #1 fighters" "its okay" '"There is no shame in that" I keep reading people trying to defend Hatton as something above a C class fighter with statements like these. But look at how he lost to both of those P4P #1's. He got emberassed, you dont run into a ring post like that. Yea he only lost 2 times to the best because before his fight with Tszyu, his resume consists of nothing but no bodies. Some people call Hatton a bum but I dont think he is one, I look at him as a legit C class fighter and nothing more, I dont see any skill to admire in him. He has wins over good names like Tszyu, Collazo, Castillo, Lazcano, and Malignaggi. Notice how i said he has good names, not good wins. Tszyu was 35 years old, had only fought 3 times in the past 4 years before the Hatton fight, and never fought again after he lost to Hatton in a hug fest. The Collazo fight was ugly and some say he lost. We all know what version of Castillo he fought. Lazcano almost knocked him out in another ugly hug fest. And he was paired with a feather fisted fighter in Malignaggi to set the way for another mega fight he should have never been in. Seriously, I dont know how Hatton can say hes been in 2 24/7's, hes just not on the level of a mega fight, he makes so many fundamental boxing mistakes and I still saw them in the Malignaggi fight, thats why I didnt get caught up in the hype of this "new and improved Hatton" by pairing him up with Malignaggi, from the start I knew it was lights out for Hatton against Manny. I always thought his popularity was all hype in the states because of his huge following in Britain, hey got news for ya, this isnt Britain. Some people will bring up the fact that he is a 4 time champion in 2 weight divisions to defend their opinions on him. Its funny because these are the same people that call Zab Judah a bum. Like I said, I dont think Hatton is a bum and I think he can still make good fights with formidable opponents and I would actaully look forward to it, but Hatton is nothing more than a C class fighter with a name that has always been overrated. http://www.fightreport.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/floyd-%20mayweather_ricky-hatton_b.gifThe whole ""Hatton only lost to 2 P4P #1 fighters" is flawed IMO. http://www.boxingsbestdvds.com/images/boxingclips_mayweather_hatton.gif http://www.fightreport.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/floyd-mayweather_ricky-hatton_a.gif Hatton is a B class fighter, not C.

At the end of the day the guy is some white yank. British boxing> white american boxing. True story. I think it is hard to say which country had/has the better fighters.

A Welsh has been's name...Froch in your avatar...and THIS in your sig... You..."Sir"...lol....are GARBAGE. I like watching Froch, don't claim to be a fan. The bet was brought up by an American. I think that Kessler and Froch will get the wins. I hope Abraham can too but Taylor could be too much for him. So what is your point?

My favourite fighter is American. I look beyond the nationality of a fighter. You should try it. A Welsh has been's name...Froch in your avatar...and THIS in your sig... 50k that the American fighters do not come out 2 out of 3 at least, against their European counterparts in the SMW tourney You..."Sir"...lol....are GARBAGE.

Mine too,but wee factoids of this nature dont seem to compute with captain jingobollocks. At the end of the day the guy is some white yank. British boxing> white american boxing. True story.

You give ME a bottle...lol...I know you're in pain, Thomas...especially when your "life" is all about suckling the balls of british fighters and british boxing basically DIED this year. Yeah...it must really be a horrible time for you right now...Froch's on his way out....Khan's tenderchinned... This rebuilding phase is gonna be one, long HELL for a homer peasant you... are you still here! this guy is p4p worst poster here. i bet you are 6 stone piss wet thru, have aids and warts. you have no friends, and your boxing knowledge is extinct. and khan may be tenderchinned, but he still murder you. and has done more than you will ever do.

Stings like a bitch, doesn't it... Nah because i got a life. :bottle:

Really....let's take these posts into consideration.. Stings like a bitch, doesn't it... keep talking kid you are hilarious.....................................

Relax with the 'owned' stuff. You're not a 12 year old Japanese gamer virgin are you? At the end of the day i just said you are a load of crap which is an accurate assumption when you take in to consideration your posts in this thread. Really....let's take these posts into consideration.. Zarco is right, and all you brits are in denial. Disassociate yourselves from Hatton....he was CLEARLY THE Fraud of The Decade. He gave you hope, took your money, and embarrassed you horribly. All of you should f_cking hate his GUTS for what he did to you...and not only for that...but for how he reinforced the reputation of british boxers... Which is how they ALMOST ALWAYS lose to the best at their best... Hatton proved he didn't DESERVE to share the ring with Mayweather or Pacquiao....so stop all that "he only lost to the #1s" bullshit... Let me shoot them down once and for all... Here's why those fights happened.... Hatton cruised off the Tszyu rape for years and finagled his way into the Mayweather fight.....Mayweather knew Hatton was nothing more than a plump cherry....an easy win for big money.....the only reason Hatton was finally ready to fight Mayweather was because he was finally ready to sell his 0 and take a beating... He then sold his NAME for the Pacquiao fight. Making boatloads of pounds off of all the gullible brits...I can't believe how many travelled here to watch him get destroyed in 2 rounds...KNOWING he was lacking as a boxer....lol...that's not "being a good fan"....that's called "being a FOOL."...as in "A fool and his money are soon parted.".... Ricky Hatton is basically using and abusing his countrymen. They shouldn't be trying to defend him...they should be trying to FORGET him. Stings like a bitch, doesn't it...

I only talk Boxing with QUALITY Boxing fans....with those who prove they are educated and objective...or those who are new to the sport and trying to be the best fan they can be.... So....if there's not a good amount of those types around...I'm just gonna take the garbage out like I do... Hope that gives you some insight... carry on then.............

Not too concerned about posting about boxing on a boxing forum then?:rofl::rofl: I only talk Boxing with QUALITY Boxing fans....with those who prove they are educated and objective...or those who are new to the sport and trying to be the best fan they can be....
