    Hope that answers your silly question.
    One thing is for sure he thinks he is better than he is and cant take the criticism.

      well I didn't like watching him fight before but since he is being trained by floyd sr now, he has shown much improvement. his fight against Lazcano was terrible to watch but he seemed to have performed even better against a much better fighter in malignaggi. I think floyd sr has done wonders for hatton's fighting style and he is entertaining to watch now.

        The only thing exciting about Hatton is the atmosphere he brings when he fights. He doesn't have the best power,He's slow,has no jab he just goes face first in and holds and mugs on the inside. Pac is gonna punish him and send him into retirement!!!

                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.
                Ricky Hatton isn't as entertaining as he was before.

                  I could understand people thinking he was not entertaining if you watched his fights from collazo onwards, the lazcano fight was exciting with him getting rocked etc. But before that most of his fights were exciting as ****, brutal bodyshots and always coming forward.

                    Ricky was alays really exciting, he fell off for a lil while and got into that holding mauling style but in his last three fights, last two in paticular he has been back on track and exciting again

                    Think of Hatton vs Pac Hatton vs Cotto Hatton vs Diaz Hatton vs Mosley Hatton vs .........

                    Him and most of the top guys make for exciteing fights!

                      Hopefully Hatton Pac is a war . I think it will be . In his last fight he was entertaining . He looks well improved . He must have been training harder with Mayweather Sr . Remember he was doing all that running in combat boots and that looks like it helped him cut the ring down .He must have been doing alot more rounds in training as well with Mayweather Sr and his weight was good leading up to the fight which probably gave him more energy to train because he wouldn't be starving as much .
