Traditional English overhyped and protected fighter. Didn’t he have the same ref for loads of fights?!?
NSB, why do you consider Ricky Hatton a bum?

Defo a good fighter and great personality but when I think of Ricky I don't think of his big fights but his WBU reign with Micky Vann as ref.
If Micky Vann sunk in a left hook to Ricky's opponents body I would have half expected it.
Pure nostalgia for me. The WBU era. So many fun fighters fought and held those belts Eamonn Magee, Takaloo, Gary Lockett, Anthony Farnell, Enzo Macc, Jennings. Of course most of those got absolutely blasted when they faced a world class fighter but it was a fun era for me.
It was when I first started watching the sport really. But there was boxing most weeks on sky sports and because these guys weren't amazing they were often in very good 50/50 fights.
Ricky was the only class fighter from that WBU school of terror really but the rest were funComment

Surely only American edgelords refer to him as a bum. I followed his career from the beginning, the protracted WBU reign was frustrating but he did beat Tszyu and had some other nice wins after that. He probably over achieved relative to his skill, a nice career. I wish he'd fought Witter after the Mayweather loss.
my blood work is great
chasing hot chicks in Tokyo really requires running shoes and money
I live in a state of rejectionComment

So of course you will get the odd lamb to the slaughter that will get blown away in the states. Not that Ricky was one of those. Pac decimating him aside.Comment
