So many Infern0 thread-bump opportunities to exploit in that one.

Exactly, ABOS. The Weebler II even ditched that Cortez avatar he's been sporting since forever to pay tribute to his fallen boxing hero. That's a real supporter.

This Infern0 ***** was yapping about Malignaggi and Naz being bigmouthed disgraces and how Hatton was the real deal and walked the walk and yadda yadda. A month later, Hatton's disowned. Awful form.

Infern0 = Schlemiel

I keep trying to not be hard on this guy - but, Jesus, he makes it easy.

He made a thread the other day asking which fighter he should support that will not let him down.

Hatton, like Pe�alosa did their best. No shame in that. It`s maybe the over-confidence and insults before the fight which made it shameful, courtesy of his trainer.

Calling Pac who fights like an amateur, Roach a ****roach. Everything were lies, including their predictions.

Hatton certainly let his fans down, and in a way did let the UK down because he represents the majority of working class people from England even though he was never working class himself.

It seems the media likes to blow up losers instead of true warriors. Calzaghe or Lloyd Honeyghan should be praised not the Hattons or Bruno's. Everyone knows Bruno was an uncle Tom and the reason Hatton is popular is because he represents the white blue collar working class when the truth is, he was never from a council estate, his parents were publicans and they represent the middle classes although they ply their trade to the working class.

When Hatton comes out and says 'put your mortgage on me to ko Manny' then you have to consider his motives because he is tied to the Americans and part of his job is making money for them, some ****** people will back him with a substantial amount of money and when Hatton doesn't have the ability to box the best then many blame the trainers, whether Mayweather or Graham but Hatton didn't follow the strategy and it's his own fault.

I've said it before and I'll repeat it here, Hatton was always a Warren hype fighter, so again he let his country down when he decided to go with Golden Boy because that took the money his great fans would spend possibly in the UK and put it into American pockets like a dumb ****. Everyone ate from Hatton, Goldenboy, HBO, Casino's and Mayweather.

Mayweather was brought in to market the fight to the American audience to start some **** with Roach so they have affinity because the Casino's & HBO were worried that there wasn't an American involved that would draw the crowds & PPV sales, besides the Phillipino's & Brits.

It's a money game and Hatton is a phenominal marketing toy because his fans are passonate and blindly follow him but the only people laughing are the bookmakers, the Hattons, HBO, Goldenboy & Mayweather at the expense of Hatton fans!

If hatton is a disgrace it's because of these reasons, his boxing ability or lack of, is really irrelevant, that's the story they need to hype to joe public, like he has a chance etc So they throw a non threat in Malignaggi in as a stoog, to make Hatton look good in the build up to this main money maker.........

It's those people that ever thought anything more of Hatton that don't know about boxing or aren't true boxing fans because they get all emotional when the reality is that's it's all about the money.

Bit of a bull**** thread. He always came to fight - and hug (much love!) - and there was always a great buzz with his fights; something which no other British has managed to do. With Calzaghe it was always going to be a bouncy, awkward slap fest; with Lennox you knew it would be a technical clinic or chess game; with Khan everyone's just worried about his chin nowadays; but with Hatton, at least before the Pac fight, everyone knew he'd be bringing his heart and guts to the ring with him. On Saturday, he just forgot to bring his brain... and his chin seems to be shot.

cuba montana - some interesting points. Some I agree with, some not. I think Hatton has been a true warrior for the most part. His main fault has been in not taking it upon himself to look after himself better/work on some of his technical failings sooner.

I missed that - I'm gonna go search his threads now so I can bump it.

Damn, The Weebler II even scratched that awful scorecard out of his sig to pay tribute to Ricky. And we know how much he loved that scorecard.

Infern0 is such a *****.

The man can't be all there. He then later on said "I will only follow Black American fighters because they won't let me down" with a Sig of Taylor laying on the canvas helplessly.
