RIP Ricky Hatton

[Nash out]

You know you really like a fighter when you're legitimately upset that he lost. I remember how much I hated seeing him go down against Pac and Mayweather. And how happy I was during his big wins.

The same. He was on that level of likeability that we won with him and lost with him. The buildup shows for him and Mayweather were the best ones ever.

Awful news... Hatton really was a working class down to earth hero who became an idol. Very sad indeed. RIP champ.

The greatest moment I ever saw in boxing was the Hatton army singing to Ricky Hatton at the weigh in before Mayweather. Spine tingling goosebumps stuff. Even Oscar and Hoplins were in awe of the love Ricky had from his fans, they never came close to Ricky in that department. Ricky Hatton inspired the greatest boxing fans in history. https://ringobserver.com/biofile-ric...ton-interview/

The atmosphere are Hatton vs Mayweather was top 5 of all time. Vegas was jumping and the fans from overseas were unreal. Was one of those weekends where every little detail was being analyzed by the “experts”. I was laughing as they had Teddy Atlas analyzing the shoving between the two during the face off and then again at the weigh in. Like they actually meant anything.

Seemed like a good guy. I’ll always remember him for bullying and beating a prime Kostya Tszyu.

Never really stood a chance vs Mayweather. And adding Floyd Sr. As a trainer before the PAC fight was a huge mistake that got him KOed. But he was all heart and an effective brawler.

46 is too young, RIP Ricky!

I distinctly remember this when it first aired.

Hatton had the crowd eating out of the palm of his hand. That moment at 14:00 of the video is one of my absolute favorite moments in all of boxing.

Hatton on the mic: “Who have you come to see?!”

Crowd: *Shouts*

Hatton: “Floyd?!”

Crowd: “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Hatton: “Me?!”

Crowd: “YEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

Hatton: “Who’s taking the belts?!”

Crowd: “YOU!!!!!”

Hatton: “Let’s f00king have him!”

And the crowd goes ballistic while trainer Billy Graham and promoter Oscar de la Hoya are laughing in the background relishing in the oozing charisma of Ricky.

It’s a real bummer he’s gone. He was one of the people.
