I'm new to this site so please explain all the hate???

[Cerullo G.O.D]

I don't hate Mayweather. I can't hate someone I don't actually know in reality, as hate is such a strong emotion.

I just want him to die in the ring. Purely for comedy value. Or at least be cabbaged. I'm not fussy.

Do you get paid for it? Do you get any prizes or awards for it? If so where can you sign up I like that money.

No, but you can be happy with the fact that the gullible minds of some new fans here won't have to go throught that ****.

I dont hate him too, I like the hip-hop beats too much. But the overhyping gets to me sometimes, so I would like to see the myth rammed down our throats debunked by a real welterweight.

Ay joe post in the other thread about the best 140 pounder in the world. I want your view on something.

Personally I have no problem with criticism of a fighter I am a fan of.Alot of things said are outlandish and are just made to discredit people that work hard for the positions they are in and people take some things WAY to seriously. Can't we have an educated debate without someone calling someone else a nuthugger or a hater or a [insert_expletive]?

That my whole point. In the majority of the threads I have read, posted in the last few weeks they seem to lead the argument so that it starts with 'hate'.

For example I wont name names but one thread was named 'Ricky Hatton just soiled himself' another was 'Ricky Hatton Guiness.... and Greed'

There are many many more.

It's got completely out of hand.
I think people find PBF classless in the way he insults people he say's it like he means it. But Ali while also saying some tasteless things said them with a smile and most people realized he never meant it thus it was more accepted. Although he was hated by a lot of people at the time, partly because he was the first to do it and people were not sure to make of it. Ha Ha It sounds like I'm contradicting myself.

I think people tend to forget how hated Ali was early in his career. People were put off by his arrogance and "greatest" talk. It wasn't till they realized oh **** he is pretty damn good and that it was mostly an act, that they warmed up to him. Maybe Mayweather is trying to follow in Ali's footsteps.

Because people hate the best and want to bring him down.

Ali was hated in his time as same as Whitaker was hated.

Just wait after few year of retirment peolpe would say he was a great fighter human nature.

I notice just because a person is old school fighter then he is automaticlly better than today's fighters

Its the same with every sport in fact for most things.

Older people will swear blind that the Summers were better in their day.

Same with boxers, we look back with fondness at the old fighters because either we have forgotten what they were really like or we only know them from what others have told us.

I think Celtic_Warrior is shocked to see any hate for Hatton to be honest as he is not the sort of guy or fighter you would expect to receive any. Although hate is too strong a word.

[AntonTheMeh]

Can anyone explain why there is some much hate for Ricky Hatton or for that matter Floyd Mayweather.

I mean this is going to one of the biggest fights of the decade and yet many on here cannot help themselves???


I'm British and obviously like Hatton but I understand his flaws and accept them, he is a messy fighter but exciting and has a none stop style that keeps you glued to his fights. Outside the ring he is an approachable, respectful and likable guy. How can he be hated?

Mayweather based on my limited knowledge of the guy is flashy, brash and a bit arrogant but there is no getting away from his immense talent and ability.
Others in the past have had similar traits I recall Ali hitting a toy gorilla in the lead up to a Foreman fight etc so again why all the hate. for this particular guy?

This has the potential to be an all time great fight.

first off,welcome.you got to understand that there are alot of petty people here,very bitter,who actually think belittling a fighter or another poster makes them cooler or tougher,most people here i'm afraid to say are pricks on this site.

Hatton could win Mayweather but it a small possiaqblitiy. He must use alot of energy and put Mayweather on the rope clinch abit as well get bodyshots. But I dont think he is going to do that way.

I think people will be suprise to see Hatton improve even if he is losing effort because Mayweather will make him fighter harder and better on the level competition.

Ricky Hatton is a cool person and Mayweather is a cool villian Good hypen by both fighter at the end most of the thing is nothing personal between each other. People say they hate each other I dont think so they hypen the fight which every fight must do to gain alot of money from the fight.

Another great example is Man United and NY Yankees Micheal Suchmaker and many other top sportmen only few are liked
