Carl froch could of been but he came across like a dick alot of the time

-lower to working class white guy -someone who relates with the majority of people in England -comes from a big city with a huge football background -lots of PR to promote him outside of boxing -talk well on camera, not a dumbfcck -likeable "son" character who can merge both the youth and older generation -talented fighter, not boxer got to have a brawler attack as British people represent themselves as British Bulldogs = captures the british public imagination It will happen again but probably between 2020-2030

Ricky Hatton was just supported by a bunch of Manchester City football thugs who disgraced themselves and their country by routinely booing national anthems. Those guys weren't boxing fans. I remember when it was Floyd-Hatton, i nearly got punched in my local for laughing at a guy who claimed Hatton was going to KO Floyd with the first punch he landed. That's exactly what happen to me, till today i laugh at my local when he got KO via the ringpost.

We already got him in Anthony Joshua...both fake, both overhyped...we would see if Joshua is overrated like Hatton in the next few years.

How does booing a national anthem make you a "thug"? I'm not saying I would do it and its a bit disrespectful but I've never understood the big hullabaloo about it. I thought it was only Yanks that took that so seriously. I don't remember there being many reports of any trouble with Hatton fans.

I used to like Hatton. He turned up & was sold as the people's champ. There were too many rumours of him & his old man buying up the tickets then ripping the fans off. People's champ don't pull sh1t like that. It was his alcoholism that endeared him to the fans. The thought that he'd have a drink with his fans, truth was he just wanted a drink. He looks a state last I saw. Picture of him & Gazza. Gazza looked in better shape than Hatton, says it all

Hatton did bring some big nights but lets be honest here the vast majority of his career was a disappointment and he got the big fights he did on name value more than merit. The guy did have talent and could have carved out a really good career but looking back on his career now we remember his popularity moreso than his achievments The sad thing with Hatton was that he actually started believing his own hype, sky marketed him as something he wasn't (although the well schooled knew better from the start) and the thing was he went into those floyd and pac fights beliving he really was an atg level boxer and the beatings he took just shattered his ego beyond belief to the point the guy still has depression now. Debacle, is the word. Yeah ofc. He wasn't the most successful fighter, especially when he took a step up (May & Pac). But, I am just talking about having a fighter who can bring the hype, excitement and fan connection that Hatton brought. Accomplishments aside.

Sorry, there's only one Ricky Hatton.
