Cheeky ****, he ain't "my boy"

I'll come if Danny Williams fights. Actually, I'd come to watch Fat Yanks if I had the money.

I'm only going to watch to see how fat his face is.

That was a rather nice interview with Hatton, joking around and being very personable as usual. I cant really see how anyone can dislike Hatton to be honest.

A few interesting bits of information.

He said that a few people had dubbed him 'Ricky Fatton', which he laughed about and said he found funny.

He said that he has always been an ugly bloke. He claimed that when he was young, his mother used to feed him with a bow and arrow.

He said that he was currently about 12 stone and that he'd be going into training within the next 2 weeks so as to give a full 12 week training schedule before the Castillo fight. Even though he claimed that the weight gain and drop doesnt harm his performance, I am glad that he hasnt ballooned as much as he has previously inbetween fights. A 2 stone weight gain is not all that bad by Hatton's standards. Shows that he is going to be taking this fight very seriously.

He said that he'd be looking to retire soon into his early 30's and that he'd be looking to have 5 or 6 fights before then. Which suggests that he's planning on keeping rather busy over the next 3 years. Which again is a good thing.

He said that upon retiring he would love to go into coaching as he feels that passing your skills and knowledge on to someone else is the next most rewarding thing to fighting yourself.

He noted that he doesnt know how fighter's parents and partners copes as he feels sick everytime he watches his brother fight.

He also rather interestingly claimed that he believed Castillo to be higher in the P4P ratings than he was. Which I'm certain is not the case, but does give an interesting insight into how seriously Hatton takes such rankings. It also gives further indication of how seriously he is planning on taking Castillo.

All in all a good interview.

Thought it was a good interview, bit of a potty mouth but i'l forgive him. Was funny when he nearly took Woss's arm off.

Hatton's from a working class background, he's always casually swearing. I thought he was quite restrained really. Especially as Ross is an interview who encourages rude behaviour and profanity.

I wish ricky did more on the pads. But Woss is a wimp.

Yeah i was kidding, i'd rather he be himself than most of the other guests who are too concerned about saying the wrong thing.
