Ricky Hatton is a bum.

[W1LL]

He is teetering on the brink of being EXPOSED once and for all. Mayweather whooping him made a large majority of people (me included) sit up and realize that he was not this amazing fighter we were led to believe after all. I think if Paulie beats him that will just be the without a doubt guarentee. In fact, I'd say he might be "Britain's Biggest Name" that's about it. Our best fighters at the moment are... David Haye, Joe Calzaghe, Carl Froch, Amir Khan and probably Kevin Mitchell. I think if Hatton didn't get the RING title when he beat Tszyu, he would have had to fight someone half decent before Mayweather and got his 0 wiped alot earlier.

Seriously, alot of the marketing as far as Hatton is concerned is around "The Undisputed Light Welterweight Champion", "The RING Light Welterweight Champ", but does anyone remember him making any tough defenses of the RING belt? Or is it just a gimmick he's using. It kinda reminds me of Sven Ottke. If anything he's devalued the RING belt at light welter.

Ricky Hatton is one of the greatest JWW of All-Time. The Hitman is also the current Ring, linear, people's Champion, and a P4P ranked fighter. Deal with it!

[bsrizpac]

That's already been done.

Next.

Crybaby.

1- I disagree. He is a good fighter, but no way is he one of the greats at 140 imo.

2-Is anyone else bored of the 'peoples champion' stuff? I believed it up to the Mayweather fight but somehow he seemed a bit different after that fight. I dunno.

Crybaby.

Your comebacks have done a bad death. I suggest you stop embarassing yourself any further

4 / 10 - Below average effort, see me.

You not big on Froch either?

I ain't fond of him. I don't feel he will go that far and i am not particularly a fan of his.

1. Learn to spell.

2. I'm sorry your feelings are hurt. Might I suggest suicide?

LOL@you all upset:

It is not hard to be one of Britains best fighters... who else is there then eh? Name me a better 5 current British fighters than those I names, as far as talent and potential go? Either that or just know your role before I am forced to layeth the smack down.

I think 'bum' is a harsh term to use. Hatton is not an all time great or anything like that, but is not a bum. No way would a bum beat the great Kostya Tszyu, even if he was old and inactive. He has fought ok opposition, nothing incredible but not bad, in his career. Urango, Collazo, Maussa, Tszyu were champs at the time Hatton beat them.

I agree with you about the hype about him being was too much, But i would not say a bum. I think he is a good fighter who has done pretty well, but is not a great by any means.

I agree all the way. Hatton is not a bum at all.
