Ricky Hatton is a bum.

[Blue Öyster]

It annoys the ****ing hell out of me when the media (maybe it's only in Britain that it happens) talk him up like he's the dogs bollocks, referring to him such ways as "one of Britain's greatest", "an all-time great" etc. In my opinion he's ****ing ****e and has never beaten a prime world class opponent. Maybe this is widely accepted and common knowledge now but I haven't been around for a while. Something else which annoys me is when Hatton fans talk about how exciting he is to watch and call him the Manchester Mexican.

In his last 6 wins he's fought 2 absolute ****ing boring unanimous decisions, against Urango he ran like a scared f4ggot at times and was hurt to the body, and against Lazcano he would have been stopped if the ref didn't cheat. The Collazo fight he lost anyway so that doesn't even count. Then the win against Castillo was an absolute farce, they trying to bill it as a prime Castillo. Hatton saying "There was more excitement in them 4 rounds than Floyds career", oh my ****ing God. The Maussa fight, again Hatton was lucky with his cuts, he wasn't far from being stopped. Maussa was no more than a lucky journeyman who fought an overhyped fighter at the right time and picked up a paper title. We all know that the Tszyu fight was just another case of Frank Warren pitting his fighter against an over the hill, shot fighter at just the right time.

Who has Hatton fought that makes him a future hall of famer, or an all time great, or one of Britains best ever, or any of these other ****ing ****** monikers they refer to him by?

I'm ****ing sick of this. I feel like saying the word **** alot today, for ****sake.

Hatton will probably have made close to £100m when it's all said and done, and all he's acheived in that time as far as greatness goes is getting his ****ing pasty ass handed to him by a legitimate "world class" fighter. Other than that I see nothing he's done which stands out. Titles are 10 a penny in this day and age, saying "Oh well, he is a 20 time champions" holds about as much water as Anoraks bowels after a night on the curry with Danny Williams down the local mosque.


Paulie Malignaggi is ****, and it wouldn't even surprise me if he takes Hatton the distance and makes him look even more dumb and one-dimensional than he already does (if it's possible). He didn't fight Witter and now Witter slipped up he'll never have to which is a real shame. Timothy Bradley isn't really anything yet, although he's got a decent style enough for Hatton not to be interested in wanting to fight him. Kotelnik is a bit **** and I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton wants to fight him some time down the road. Manny Pacquiao would make Hatton his *****, probably knock him out.

agreed hatton is a bum!! skysports and setanta chat some proper horse ****!!
hattons 2 biggest wins are over a shot castillo and a shot tszyu, THAT IS PATHETIC!! and collazo even whipped him!!! collazo is a terrible fighter!! getting beaten up by collazo is like getting beaten up by a journeyman!!


but itv are the worst the way they talk about "chicken" khan is just ridiculous!!! they make it sound as if he has skills and speed like ray leonard with mike tysons punch power!!! but in reality "chicken" khan is a light handed, chinny bum who is afraid of his rivals!! even "chicken" khans
speed is overrated! his hands aren't half as fast as they would like you to believe!! and his footwork is downright slow its like that *****s feet are stuck in mud!!

If you really thought he was a bum, you wouldn't have made the thread about it.

He has one defeat (10th round) in his entire career and that was with the most biased refereeing performance for many a year.

Wow, that defeat hurt didn't? Get over it.

[Mushashi]

Pretty much, the hype he receives in the British media is ridiculous.

The 'defeat' didn't hurt me anymore than it hurt Hatton who said he felt fine, the illusion sold to the general public that it was a fair fight is what rankles. It most definitely wasn't.

I would like to know from the British posters here if Cortez gets mentioned on your sky sports or sentana stations as an exscuse for Hattons loss?

I swear you are one broken record. Hatton losing to Mayweather, Cortez's refereeing is ALL you ever post about.

Thats cos people are always talking about Ricky being this or that or Floyd's big victory over Hatton and comparing it to Cotto/Margarito.

Its bull****, Cotto got a fair shot, Hatton didn't.

If they're interviewing Hatton then they would bring cortez up just to save hatton from a bit of embarrassment, But the general conclusion is he got KTFO by the better fighter.

Us britsh people arent sore-losers but you have to understand that Hatton himself have some delusional fans.

[Jim_Lampley]

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.

So even though

against Urango he ran like a scared f4ggot at times and was hurt to the body...The Collazo fight he lost anyway so that doesn't even count. Then the win against Castillo was an absolute farce, they trying to bill it as a prime Castillo. Hatton saying "There was more excitement in them 4 rounds than Floyds career", oh my ****ing God. The Maussa fight, again Hatton was lucky with his cuts, he wasn't far from being stopped.

you still thought he was am amazing fighter before the Mayweather fight?
