RICKY HATTON has told the world’s best boxers to be on their guard, insisting: “I’m after your titles!”
‘The Hitman’ returns to the ring after a three-year absence on November 24 when he fights Ukrainian Vyacheslav Senchenko.
And Hatton wants the bout, in front of a sell-out 18,000 crowd at the Manchester Arena, to send out a message to the best in the business.
He said: “To the fighters out there holding the world title belts, my message is that I am after you because I want to get right back to the top.” Click Here To Read More]
Any of the champs at 147 would beat him. His style at his age is a recipe for disaster against a good champion. Wait is malignaggi a champ at 147? If he is then that's hatton's best shot at a world title by rematching malignaggi.
WAR HATTON!!!People that don't give him credit...boh i don't understand,RICKY fought great fighters and lost only with the two best boxers of this era,he deserves respect like BARRERA does;if MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA gives him credit calling him THE ENGLISH MEXICAN,well who are you to disrespect him?IDIOTS!!!
he also avoided many great fighters incase they ruined his big money payday against floyd
He wasn't "after world champions" when he ducked Junior Witter for years.. Hatton is a good liar, most of his fans just lapped up everything he said and took it for granted without stopping to think that Hatton actually ducked his main rival in the division at the time. They made excuses about Witter's character, about his personality, his hairstyle.. but they all conveniently forgot he was the world champion, in the same division, the same country, top 3 in the world, and Hatton ran away like a scared child. I'm sick of Hatton's bull, just hope he gets knocked out by Senchenko and retires permenently, the good for nothing coke fiend.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He later went on to fight Floyd Mayweather, one of the all time greats, got beaten soundly and picked himself up to fight a prime Manny Pacquiao, another all time great. But yeah he is a fraud and a coward for not fighting Junior Witter.
Ricky is a sympathetic figure, so I'll root for him. I'm curious how he'll look in the ring at 33. His bulldozing style is already a negative for any fighter in his thirties and even worse for Ricky who has mental issues as well as weight and drug issues. A layoff is usually a plus for a fighter, physically. But in Ricky's case, it's a negative.

Everyone goes through their crap outside of the ring...who are we to judge?
However why can't some of you positively support especially one of the good guys of the sport...whether you're a fan or not, how about a "good luck Ricky"?

Why are all you idiots bashing this. He's good for the sport. I would'nt mind seeing how he looks after a a fight or 2. Maybe get him a couple of wins and have him fight the winner of Garcia vs Morales. It seems like he wants to fight at 147 instead of 140. Hatton vs Madaina could be good. I thought Hatton vs Urango would be good to and it really was'nt.
Great name.
As if people are going to avoid him, he's the biggest cash cow at WW not named Pac or Floyd, you don't need to go after anyone Ricky these champs will line up to fight you.
So how's he doing financially?
:rolleyes:
Hattons ****in loaded.. This is not about lining his pocket more I would imagine. Redemption ie not going out on a mega ko, and also trying to get his own promotional company in the limelight more, seen as it was dropped from sky.
