Comments Thread For: Hatton Honored Fury Followed Advice In Acclimating To Las Vegas

[Combat Talk Radio]

Can’t remember last time a fighter was so popular in UK as Ricky Hatton. AJ was super close.
I remember the hatton fights. Sitting in my couch feeling like I was sitting in the stadium

Which is the real reason Floyd wanted that fight - a guy having a whole country behind him was major exposure. He made his career on shutting up fight fans from other countries.

I'll never forget how quiet that fight crowd got after Hatton started getting pieced up by TBE and headbutted the corner.

I know a lot is made of Frank Bruno but that was Tyson, it's not even the same class. Until Joshua's loss, Hatton had to be the single most embarrassing UK fighter loss overseas.
