Ricky Hatton, the biggest fraud in boxing?.

[dans]

Another hate thread against Hatton.

He's one of this decade's top fighters, and has helped keep boxing alive at a time when it's popularity has been in decline.

He's far from being a fraud.

Exactly.

Wow, that may be the first time I've ever agreed with what Tunney said.

How is he a fraud? He markets himself as what he is for the most part.

I must add i have only recently read his autobiography this year (it was published in 2005) and some of the things i read in there really made me sit and there and think "what a hypocrite".

Anyone who starts a sentence with "I'm dead 'umble" clearly isn't.

What happened?, he used to be "Right down t'earth".

I never thought id see a thread criticising Hatton where most of the Brits agree and most of the Yanks disagree (so far).

Who cares? I love to watch him fight. He could be as arrogant as Floyd for all I care - I just like to see him do his work in the ring. I don't expect him to be my bezzie mate.

Besides, with a voice like Ashley Pea**** from Corrie, who takes him seriously anyway? He's a good laff, whatever his 'agenda' is.

Hatton is english, therefore he was born a fraud.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

That is correct. As a child growing up i idolised watching Hatton and have seen every single fight of his and been to 3 of his fights in person. I even gave him the benefit of the doubt for a while, but it's just getting out of hand lately. Since he has left Frank Warren or even since he went to America he has changed.

Red,



he charged you for an autograph didnt he

[Ryn0]

I like him because he really helped revive Boxing in the UK

yeah, not so much.

his resume is anemic and lots of controversy.

I still like Hatton as a boxer, but haven't liked him much as a personality since the Mayweather fight. My favourite was the Lazcano fight was "One for the fans"....on PPV :S

Lazcano fight was on versus television...not ppv.
