    Hatton Hatin'

    Right, alot of threads seem to be made recently and there all dissin Ricky. Why? maybe because he isn't American? sure that may sound ****** but lets be honest here, if Ricky Hatton was American you guys would be hanging on his **** like a whore.

    The majority of you guys would be all ravin on about how he's one of the best in the world. This may sound harsh but Americans(some) don't think that there is a world outside theirs and are quick to dismiss other countries fighters.

    I know there was some debate about this a while back but i honestly feel this is the reason why there is alot of hatin for Hatton on boxingscene. Ricky Hatton beat the man, the champ, the legendary Kostya Tszyu at JR Welterweight and before that fight you guys were quick to dismiss Hatton winning. You was all convinced Tszyu had it in the bag and would show us all how overrated the Hitman is right? wrong..Ricky Hatton beat Kostya Tszyu for the IBF JR Welterweight title. No excuses, he beat him. He made Tszyu quit on his stool. And i don't wanna be hearing this **** about how Tszyu was old or whatever or how he had only fought so many rounds in the last couple of years it's all bull****. You wasn't saying that before the fight so don't start now. Hatton deserved the victory that night..his heart was set on winning and thats exactly what he did.

    Then, after that fight he chooses to unify against Maussa and fight for another world title in which he wins.

    THEN, after that he fights Collazo..he moves up a weight, fights a slick southpaw (Hatton has always struggled against southpaw's) for another world title, and wins yet again despite all this bickering and ****.

    Give the guy a ****in break, its ridiculous..you guys call yourself boxing fans? you need to get your head out of your asses and see that the world doesn't just revolve around American boxers or whatever. Ricky Hatton is the man in this division. The man everyone wants to beat.

    Once he beats Urango, hopefully a fight with Castillo or whatever will be made were he can finally prove himself and try to ' win over ' the American public. I just hope that when Hatton wins another super fight you'll eat humble pie and respect Ricky for what he has done in the boxing world and not try and make up more ****** excuses

      ricky aint american is one of the reasons

      just like before calzaghe fought lacy

      he was described as a brit *** who would get ktfo!


      on the bright side though

      calzaghe's performance gained him a lot of american fans and a lot of respect hoprfully hatton can do the same whe he faces a big name opponent

      such as castillo or cotto or somebody else

          He's also a credit to the sport, with his gentlemanly conduct, humbleness, and sportsmanlike behaviour.

            Is that how you really feel? LOL. I agree that people like to forget what they say before a fight a change their opinions. I would never take credit from Hatton's victory over Tszyu, but I don't think Maussa is anything special and I thought Collazo clearly won that fight. Hatton is a good fighter, but people don't like the fact that he is overrated. Also, I don't think its an "American" thing. Lots of love gets shown to Lennox Lewis, Miguel Cotto, Pacman, etc. Most people just don't want to see Hatton grabbing and holding (wrestling) during his fights. Think John Ruiz.

                exactly you wont meet a more respecting boxer

                i though that would count for something

                and hatton was one of the first to say cotto ( very early in his career ) would make it and is a fantastic boxer

                yet i see a big number of cotto fans hating on hatton

                why ?

                    Man, what? Hatton wants the Mayweather fight, it would be foolish for him to fight PBF straight away just as he comes over to America. Trust me Ricky wants this fight so much and it will definately happen
