I ****ing miss Ricky Hatton

[tennesseeboy]

He always had exciting fights, that's for sure. He just wasn't professional. He should have taken better care of himself, and he easily would have lasted 2-3 more years. Blowing up in weight that much between fights IS NOT good for you. Secondly, you shouldn't drink six pints a day DURING TRAINING CAMP. I wish Collazo would have exposed him. Maybe he would have taken his career more seriously if he'd had a wake-up call.

i agree man, cant take nothing away from the guy though, he had kahunas.. one thing he did have...

he did expose him and he exposed the fact he couldn't bully around bigger fighters which forced him back down to 140.

and that's why Floyd forced him back up to 147

Exposed him, as in beat him. He did expose him to a degree, but when I was watching that fight live, I was really hoping for a KO or stoppage, which was right around the corner. Maybe it would have brought Ricky back down to Earth.

[klit_power]

did he get KD'ed twice in the 1st i thought it wasnt til the 2nd **** it only went 2 so maybe im wrong!

dude sorry but your ****ing ******ed

no offense but i really believe you are

Explosive fighters usually have short careers. Enjoy the good memories, but leave the man alone. He's fought enough.

a loss to collazo would have ruined him because then he couldn't use the excuse of only losing to the best fighters in the world.

Its a known fact he didnt/doesnt take care of himself in between fights, but **** i still think he had 2-3 fights left no doubt, yall talkin like he retired officially, lol did he? If so thats a travesity i always wanted to see him fight JMM!!

[Weebler I]

Ricky got beat by the to 2 p4p guys of the last 10 yrs (other the Hop) and alot of you wrote him off, he is a tough SOB, lasted 10 with PBF (& Cortez at 147) and won the 1st rd of his fight with Pac-

lol, it was the second round he felt he was winning.

I hope his training his ass off cuz he should and could rule 140 IMHO Saul, Bradley, JMM and other would be great test for him and i hope he comes back better... Any News on him????

If you watched the Matt/Alvarez fight you can see he's not training his ass off, I don't think a comeback is going to happen.

I know what you mean though, the Hatton's bring so much excitement and colour to the sport, it's hard not to wish for the good old days sometimes.
