    Is Ricky Hatton entertaining ? do YOU think he is entertaining ?

    Is Ricky Hatton entertaining?

    Do YOU think he is entertaining ?

    It seems to me Ricky himself is the only one who thinks he is entertaining, because when ever i speak to non Brits they say his style is trash and his fights are difficult to watch. Believe it or not there are even Brits out there that are not fans of Ricky's style.

    I myself like to see him do well, but his style is not exciting anymore. Allthough Ricky's last fight was a tad more exciting, but still in general his style is frustrating to watch.

    Hatton seems to think that if you go for it and show aggression and a willingness to make the fight that you are automatically entertaining........Someone needs to tell Ricky that people also like to watch stylists who combine that aggression with skill and technique which in turn makes them easier on the eye to watch, but above all people like to watch fighters that dont break the flow of the action by holding all the while.

      Yep

      I do like making contentious threads though, because it attracts Brits that are biased.

          So the opinions in these threads may not be your own views?

            I'm a fan of Ricky's personality, but that's about as far as it goes. All this talk of how "exciting" he is in the ring is overblown IMO. He had a few really good brawls early in his career, but I haven't been excited by the guy in any fight he's had since Tszyu. And even that wasn't that exciting for me either, I found myself wondering how the hell Hatton wasn't disqualified 10 times over again for some of the **** he pulled.

              The Mayweather fight was exciting, though that had a lot more to do with the atmosphere than it did with the actual scrap though.

                  Paulie Malanaggi said the Brits helped make the festivities brighter and more lively in his post fight interview.
