Ricky Hatton Retirement Appreciation thread!!!

[Grand Champ]

Good call. Didn't want Hatton to be a shot punching bag. Enjoy life Hatton and watch your god damn calories!!

I've made my feelings on Kostya Poo clear a number of times on this forum in the past.

Tszyu was never as good as he was billed.He was never the puncher he was made out to be.



Tszyu never proved himself to be an elite level fighter.He chose to duck and avoided every elite level fighter of his generation to stick it out in a dead divsion and defending his title against worthless mandatories.

Shut up. For being responsible for the Greatest Chicken Dance Of All Times, the man is a legend.

Hopefully it's true. He had a great career for sure, but it's over now. I hope understands that.

The man is a legend for landing one right hand against an overrated,glass jawed joker who never proved anything other than he was a b level fighter at best?

[Chrismart]

If he was to reire now, id say it was the right decision and he can hang up his gloves with no shame.
He was abit of a beast at 140 and pretty much ruled the division. He beat some decent names in Castillo, Malignaggi, Collazo, Urango, Maussa, Tszyu and only lost to the best pound for pound in the world in Pacquiao and Mayweather.

His eating and drinking habits probably wasnt the best idea for his career, but that all made for the brillant character he was and thats why he had such great support from the fans.

He has had a very good career and id say he was a solid B grade fighter, who was capable of beating all the other B fighters around, but would struggle with the world class A grade boxers.

Wasnt the most skilled fighter, but had great heart and would always come forward and never take a step backwards. Im a big fan and have enjoyed watching him over the years.

I'm still waiting for Hatton fans to defend his ducking of Junior Witter.

[J.R]

Junior who?

[Snopkins]

Junior "better than every other domestic bum Hatton ever faced" Witter.

[wazaa.]

One of the best light welterweights of this era. Too bad his fans booed Amir at the weigh in though. But boxers shouldn't be punished for the wrong doing of their fans so...Goodbye Ricky, you had a wonderfull career.

[The Hammer]

All the best to Ricky Hatton!

He defeated a lot of good fighters like Castillo, Malignaggi and Tszyu, and he only ever lost to fighters who were p4p #1 at the time.
