Hatton: I'll go down as greatest

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

1. Its not an internet act. I'd be hard even if your punk ass were right in front of me.
2. I'm hardly a "little" anything. And yes, I'd smack the **** out of his little ass whether he was a 5'6" 140 pounder or a 5'6" 180 pounder. And I'd smack the **** out of your punk ass if you ever said some **** like that to my face too. Believe me, I'm not little, I'm not a acting, and I'd **** your punk ass up and your little fat idols too.

Please save the threats for the Thunderdome, or stay out of the thread.

I always laugh at people who think that they can take on a professional fighter............

Ok, Hatton is being a bit unrealistic if he thinks he's going to scale anywhere near Big len's heights - I mean Hatton has been the champ at one weight and hasn't fought enough top contenders at 140 to be considered as dominating the division for any length of time.

And I think it does count against him that he's moved down, sure, but as for him fighting Urango before Castillo, that's much better than the dross someone like Margarito has been serving up. The belts don't mean much these days, but thats precisely because the best fighters don't win them and unify them, Hatton is bringing credibility back to the belts by fighting for them rather than taking some p*ss poor warm up then fighting Castillo for nothing.

And as far as Hatton ducking Urkal - Black Jesus come on you're a much better poster than that - he moved down because he wasn't completely comfrotable at the weight and saw as much realistic opportunity for big fights at 140 as at 147. He's not ducking anyone, he's just not chasing Mayweather, and no rational person would ever blame anyone but hatton for a Mayweather-Hatton fight not happening.

obviously ppl cant read
where does ill go down as greatest brit ever where does it say i am the greatest brit ever
ppl who cant read get the **** outta this thread

I can ****ing read. I just think to say that Lennox Lewis had mixed results when he was the number one Heavyweight for four years straight is utter bollocks.

[Easy-E]

whoa...Mayweather actually said that?...and all along I thought Hatton wasn't even in his radar anymore (obvious "retirement")...but I guess he's going to pull a B-hop and actually give what the boxing fans want...

No, Mayweather didnt actully say that.
Floyd has been looking to fight Ricky forever, and Ricky doesnt want the fight.
Frankly, I cant blame him.

[OptimusWolf]

Agreed Dark Spyder, although if Ricky keeps swapping belts he might set some record for Brit with the most world championship belts over a career

WBU(haha), WBA, IBF, WBA welter......

[Easy-E]

It makes me laugh how you put Margarito down for not fighting his mandatory Paul Williams, but when Hatton proceeds to do so you give him a verbal bashing.

Well Margirito's mandatory poses a legit threat to him.
A tall, lanky undefeated fighter with many knockouts.
Situations are different.

Hatton was exposed by Collazo, and that was not even one of Callazo's good performances. It is just a question of time before Hatton's weaknesses are exposed again. He can spend the rest of his career chasing easy fights, but he can not change the fact that he got lucky with the judges and that Collazo certainly deserved a rematch.

[GEOFFHAYES]

Hatton needs to get that head checked

Lennox Lewis >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ricky Hatton

Lennox Lewis??

Hatton's one win over Kostya Tszyu eclipses all of Lennox's wins put together.

[GEOFFHAYES]

The thread title is misleading, he's talking about going down as the greatest British boxer once he retires, which could definately happen if he gets the super fights under his belt and wins them all.

But if he beat Mayweather, which he will, you could make an argument for Hatton being the greatest fighter, in the world ever.

Mayweather is the best I've ever seen.
