What a pile of ****.

More racist shit

I don't know if the "New England" is what people are going to like, though you will most likely see alot more diversity of fighters.

This video shows you the rate of diversity changing in the U.K.

Plus Amir Khan will mostly likely get further than Hatton did and maybe be P4P#1 in a number of years... maybe.

Khan ain't the first "multitcultural" brit to become succesfull though... Come to think of it most of the good fighters from the UK in the last 20 years or so where of foreign descent. Naz, Eubank, Benn, Lewis, Bruno, Calzaghe(50% Italian), Honeyghan etc etc.

Absolutely, but the thread wasn't about any base of reality, it's just a cheap way of disrespecting yet another white fighter.

Hatton was partying long before he got knocked out, sniffin' and drinking a lot too. 'Made people in power feel good', what you talking about? 'didn't care about anyone but himself'.. what evidence? He's pretty down to Earth for the most part and represented working class people, what kind of bull**** you on?!

I know he's trolling but I'm bored and thought I'd respond anyway

hatton only marketed himself as working class to get idiots to become his fans....he dont care about the fans....this guy was partyin 1 day after getting ko by pacquiao....the worst performance of his life you know the one he got paid 5 million for 5 minutes of work....taking peoples hard earned money...he shouldve gave that money to pac or back to his fans....the same thing with the floyd fight....his goal was to wrestle n hold and make it close enuff for 12 where he could say he got robbed....he wasnt trying to win just get lucky breaks...he acted like a family man on 24 7 but is basically a fat alcoholic coke sniffa....

you know who represented working class people rocky the real rocky marciano....he had pride n left it all in the ring....hatton is just an allaround idiot.

amir khan = the great athlete who respects himself and respects others yet flashy at same time with epic music videos....gets knocked out and picks himself back up even 10x better....fights for more than just himself....represents multicultural society of 2011....
