Ricky Hatton Suffers Setback, Kerry Kayes Quits His Team

[T-97]

How are we suppose to rank a middleweight champion? In my opinion I predict a Hopkins win and an Abraham win but he has his chance to prove further to the people that he belongs where he is.Anyone who calls Hatton a bum is not a fan of boxing,but when you generalize all yanks by some fools,"you are the one with your head up your ass".Pavlik is 26 and just had his first title defense,how many names should he have on his resume?Hopkins will be just a name and Abraham should be the next fight.Pavlik is overated by some but if you were on this board during the Mayweather-Hatton fight you would of seen the Hatton bandwagon in full effect.

Hatton was overrated big time around that time. Those were ****ty times here, All that evet got talked about is Hatton would PWN Mayweather, or how Hatton was a bum etc.

Man this aint good. Ashame Kerry left too, but this aint good for Paulie, well it is and it isn't cause mentally gives Paulie an advantage right now with Hatton having these distractions BUT when Paulie wins, people will talk about the distractions affecting Hatton. Which shouldnt be the case, he would lose anyway.

Course he does.

Nicky,

Is Hatton a terrific fighter.... or is he an average fighter who was highly overrated?

[Naps]

I don't think Hatton needs to even be on top form to beat Paulie.

I am more worried about the loss of Kerry than that of Billy Graham though....

Nicky,

Is Hatton a terrific fighter.... or is he an average fighter who was highly overrated?

Neither.....

Overrated bum? I'm not a Htton fan, but if there's someone who's overrated its Kelly "one name" Pavlik! The Yanks are so far up their own arses it's unbelieveable!

honestly, this is ****ing hilarious. if his nutritionist was so great, Ricky wouldn't be ballooning up to 180 in between fights. Oh, the humanity!!!

Ricky sucks, and his career has been a joke. He spent his entire career ducking guys like Witter, Zab & Cotto when they were @ 140, and the list goes on.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Neither.....

So, what is he, Naps? How do YOU rate Hatton?

Hatton didn't duck Cotto, by the time Hatton was on the radar of the likes of Judah, Zab was the Welterweight champ and Witter was always a big step backwards for Ricky at every stage of his career.

Seriously though, Cotto was getting rocked by everyone he faced at 140 and Arum rightly kept him away from the top until he was at a more comfortable weight. And Judah was the champ until he got smashed to bits by Tszyu in 2001. At this stage in Ricky's career he'd had 16 fights and just won the WBU title. A young up-and-comer cannot "duck" the undisputed champion. You have it the wrong way round.

And Witter built his career on calling out Ricky Hatton and got trounced every time he stepped up in competition.

There isn't a nutritionist, man or beast in the world who copuld stop Ricky getting fat between his fights.

His balooning is his own choice, nothing to do with his team.
