Hatton - Why he was loved.

[craigus1990]

I just thought I'd make a thread for people to state why they liked Hatton.
I always used to like Hatton but can't stand the bloke now but the reasons I liked him at the time were because he was a true warrior. When he was in the ring, all he wanted to do was win.
I also liked his no complaints attitude... he lost to Mayweather like a true man, he didn't complain about the ref and regarding Floyd's elbows, he said it's not a tickling contest and called Floyd clever for being able to do it to work inside.
I personally don't want to see him back though, after his ******* scandal and his promotion company, he just reminds me of a Frank Warren type character...
So, why do you guys think Hatton was so loved?

Why can't you stand him now?

He reminds you of Warren because he took coke and set up a promo company? That's one of the most ****** things I've ever heard.

He doesn't remind me of Warren because of that.... but since then, he has turned into this bloated faced guy that looks like he can't be trusted (like Warren). Just my opinion... which is the point of a forum!

For all the entertaining fights

I don't understand the point of your post. I am just telling it how I see it.
Since after the Lazcano fight I just went off Hatton. He dropped Graham and apparently owed him money and never spoke to him again. Then he gets Mayweather Sr on board and then has a falling out with him. The guy just seems shady.... but as a fighter at one stage I thought he was awesome.

Always like Hatton..He had a real rough workman like style that was fun to watch...Hatton always brought it as well..Not the most skilled guy, but he always gave the fans everything he had...

Tons and heart and as tough as they come, can't knock Ricky as a fighter. I always saw him as a working class hero too.

ricky is a beast and will always be a beast i love him coz he gave everything i wanted in a fight he wore his heart on his sleave and gave 110% all the time pure skilled aggression his fighting on the inside was an art in its self and dont get me started on his body shots
