why do people call ricky fat?

[fitty_mafioso]

Cardiff city fans are hooligans, i will accept that

[Southpaw16BF]

Because of the weight he gains when he's not fighting. So it stuck with him and now he likes to play up to the image.

Here is a pic of ricky at the Juan Manuel Marquez vs Joel Casamayor
fight before he starting training for Paul Malignaggi

okay, thnx again man. you're bringing the goods.

he seems heavier on this one.

[hammerhiem]

yeah fair enough, he seems like a nice guy. He really should have fought Witter though. Calzaghe fought Reid. Haye fought Macca. Benn fought Eubank.

You make out like Witter was his closest domestiv rival, it's just not true, Witter didn't become BBBC champ until 2 years AFTER Hatton had vacated the belt.

Thraxton, McGee and Rowland where more legitimate fights at domestic level while Hatton was fighting at that level than Witter would have been.

You'll notice that Witter magicly avoided all three of those while fighting bums in icerink's in front of three men and a yorkshire terrier.

Common you IRONS!

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

nice dude!! thnx a ton. really helped.

gotta love the hitman lol



but yeah back on topic, he doesn't look FAT, you know? he looks like he gained some wait but that's it. i think people have blown it out of proportion, cause i've seen some call him fatman and bag him about it etc etc.

I think Floyd started it as a derogatory focus..."Vicky Fatton", "ah'ma punch him in his beer belly", etcetera. People commented on the weight before that, but I don't recall it being such a focus of derision.

Anyway...if it helps him feel closer to ol' Hands Of Stone, what's the harm?


He looks like a fuckin' frowzy old jockey in that pic, though.

Witter went on to become WBC champ and dont forget he went and fought zab judah early in his carrier on a few days notice. Hes also beaten Vivian Harris.
Witter, before he lost to bradley would have been a better win than malignaggi.

that has to be it. i was just asking cause he even has a nickname and some actually call him fatman or fatton. so that's why i was wondering how fat he really gets in the off time for him to earn nicknames and such.

lol, i know right. i like hatton.
