I've been hating him him for a while but thought he showed alot of class last night in the post-fight interview, considering the way Paulie was ****ting on his abilities before the fight (and I don't think Paulie was just trying to gain any sort of psychological edge, I think he did really believe Hatton was garbage)
I'm gonna ease up with the hating.
I don't rate him hugely as a fighter, and I think the size of his support and the hype he gets is disproportionate to his talent. Also, his working-class hero schtick and pandering to the football crowd has been annoying me.
But he's one of the good guys.
Decent fighter, made the most of his abilities, humble and shows class to his opponents.
