Ricky is all Class

[porlie]

Hes a good bloke Hatton, I seen him on the drink in Blackpool before and he posed for pics with us all and talked about boxing with me for 10 minutes, hes a genuine guy. No edge to him at all,whereas Mayweathers so far up his own arse it'll take a crowbar to pull him apart.

I still think he wouldn't last against Cotto. But he put on a good fight. I hate the hugging though

[beecherhq]

If you like his boxing style or not. You can't say a bad word about his character or way he conducts himself outside the ring.

I think he would, and see it as a pick-em fight...I want Cotto to win but I think it could go either way, after watching last night's fight.

what did Max say or do???

Max was asked him: How much of this knock out do you attribute to yourself and how much do you attribute it to Diego Corrales and the various other wars that Castillo has been in throughout his career.

Hatton took that question in stride and gave some kind words about Diego, dedicated the fight to Diego and his Widow, who came up to him and gave him a tearful hug.

Max already had his Castillo is shot question the question before but he antagonizes further. Instead of commenting on Diego or his wife or anything else he just keeps on this line of questioning.

MK very next question: Ricky there will be those who say that Castillo as a result of Corrales and the various other fights he has been in was diminished and you weren't fighting a prime Castillo

Hatton answer that question as follows:

"I'm man enough to hold me hands up and say me last 2 performances were under par. I'd like to think I would be able to get a pat on the back for that one."

like i said, it makes no sense when people slobber all over the spoiled arrogant classless brat (mayweather) and hate the classy, fun loving, brawler (hatton) who recognizes there are more people in the world than just him.

Well I think the reason people (including myself) like Floyd is becuse hes a great fighter with amazing talents.
I think most of the so called "hatton hating" is when the Hatton fans on this board diss Mayweather.
Either way, I like Floyd more in the ring, but theres no question whos got more class.

Those are totally valid questions, though.

yeah maybe they are but they are also uncalled for specially bringing Diego's name into it

[RAESAAD]

While I am not a fan of Hatton and usually cheer against him I have to admit he is a very likeable character and defintely a class act......maybe he will grow on me someday.I feel the same about the Klit brothers.....I don't know why.I can be reversed tho because I used to hate Juan Diaz but after watching him the past couple of years get better and better and also participate in many exciting fights he is one of my top 10 favorites.
