Why I hate Ricky Hatton.

[The Noose]

I dont understand how anyone can HATE a fighter.

They work their asses off, get beat up, train like animals for months. The disipline in crazy. They literally put their lives on the line.

I have nothing but admiration.
(execpt for Floyd the prick!)


If i hated fighters based on what they say, i wouldnt really like any of them.

[Pugilistic™]

Hatton annoys me when he talks about himself in the third person and how he really wants the p4p title.

[Clegg]

I agree 100% about the MAB thing, Hatton should've been more supportive in that instance.

I disagree about the negotiations thing. I think that if you ask for so much money that the fight doesn't get made, then you deserve criticism, but if the fight gets made and you earn a bit more than you deserve, then you're a good negotiator.

He has a better resume than Holt or Bradley, and deserves to be rated above them. Not sure why you think otherwise.

how he really wants the p4p title.

You hate a boxer for wanting to be P4P No1??? thats fcuking crazy.

He has a better resume than Holt or Bradley, and deserves to be rated above them. Not sure why you think otherwise.

Bradley doesn't HAVE a resume... 1 win Vs top 50 opposition doesn't make you ahead of the Ring Champion.

How can anyone hate a fighter??? I dont get it...You might dislike some but the word hate is very strong, Its easy to pick on little things that boxers do but to hate them for it??

We have some fans in the UK who hate Khan for little to NO reason and they call themselves boxing fans, We have some who Hate Witter because he call out and berate Hatton, Some who hate froch and Haye because they talk....Why???? I dont get it...

[TEDetc]

Oh, and you just proved here that YOU don't like people's opinions that differ from yours. Grow up, mate.

He said "I THINK THE TITLE SHOULD BE I'M A TOOL" how is that even an opinion? It's not it's just a blatent insult because he didn't like what I was saying and me pointing that out somehow implies I don't like peoples opinions that differ from mine? Uhm okay.

That's a joke, don't know why its pissed you off soo much...

It wouldn't piss me off if he only said it as a one off, but everytime the Mayweather fight is mentioned he comes with that ****... "I WUZ DOIN FYNE TILL I SLIPPEDDDDD I CAME 2ND TO MAYWEATHER HEH" literally everytime that fight comes up he always puts them **** jokes in there not only are they not funny he just looks like an ass.

Hatton has entered the ring with MAB to a big fight, can't remember which.

I know but he should of been there for the Khan fight you'd think? Considering Barerra isn't big in Britain, Hatton would of done him a really good favour and shown him a lot of loyalty back by supporting Barrera in a country he wasn't too familiar with, but no he can't even do that for him. There's a big difference between entering any random fight with a friend and then doing it when it actually counts.

The truth is, the UK will make ALOT of money for the fight, and they will be supporting Hatton, so he could justifiably have been entitled to a 50/50 split

Hence where I said "Hattons just using his british fans to earn more money" that type of **** pisses me off. Hatton isn't getting the 50-50 split because he deserves it as a boxer, he's getting it due to his fan base. Pacman took a 30-70 split to ODH only to have some over-hyped brit who got exposed in his first big test say he deserves 50-50 that's an insult. Btw british fans spend most of their money on booze and that's basically it, Pacquiao brings over big politicians and gamblers added to the fact Pacman is a bigger name, a far more established boxer and the P4P king + taking a 30-70 split the fight before, Ricky should of shown him some respect and atleast gone 45-55 but nope greedy **** actually REFUSED to fight unless he got 50-50.

Okay, I think you need to calm down and watch less t.v because i'm from uk and i don't see hardly anything, if anything, about Hatton on t.v. Only the occasional small news item once a month.

Everytime I see sky sports news it's covering Hatton, thankfully Bunces boxing hour doesn't mention him much but then there's the problem I have to hear that ****** idiot Bunce talking ;/

He has a better resume than Holt or Bradley, and deserves to be rated above them. Not sure why you think otherwise.

He says he's the best fighter at 140 but he hasn't proved that in anyway shape or form imo. For him to prove that he should atleast of fought Junior Whitter (Would of been a great domestic fight and Whitter was willing to take a 30-70 cut....). But he hasn't even beaten the top contenders at 140.

I hate greedy money men who leech off their own fan base to generate themselves more cash than they deserve, constantly come out with excuses, make themselves look like asses and have no loyalty what-so-ever to people who have been good to them. (Billy Graham and Barrera) Hatton is the only fighter I HATE, I dislike fighters but never hate I agree hateing a fighter based on their personality is ****** but I'm not basing my hate on Hattons personalities but rather his actions.

He's beat the No1 ranked fighter or contender 3 times in 3 years what more proof do you want ffs.

Malignaggi/Lazcano are not good. I'm sorry but no lol, he publicly DUCKED witter that's not even up for debate it's just true he ducked witter and gave the public some "he doesn't bring enough to the table" bs. Correct me if I'm wrong but Witter was the WBC LWW champ yet he wasn't bringing enough to the table and somehow Malignaggi and Lazcano were? LOL. Nah mate sorry I just can't stand this kid and his blatent lies. Self-proclaimed king of the 140 divison yet hasn't fought anyone that good in the division.....I'm not trying to say Hatton is a bad fighter, he is a good fighter - tough chin, good precision body shots and a nice pressure style but he hasn't proved **** for him to have the right to say he's the best at 140.

[The_Demon]

Seriously I despise Ricky Hatton. I can't wait till Manny Pacquiao just busts him up and stops him round 6-7. The guy just pisses me off, constantly cracking the same **** jokes about getting spanked after having his whole country behind him "UHHH I WAS DOING ALROIGHT TILL AH SLIPPED AHN AHHH ;]]]]" "I AHHH CAYM SECUND 2 AHHH FLOYD EEHE ;]" **** Ricky Hatton.

Then there was his total betrayal of MAB. After being asked who he's rooting for in the MAB Vs Khan fight he says "I'm sitting on the fence with this one" ARE YOU SERIOUS? MAB came into the ring with Hatton and cheered for Hatton against a fellow Mexican, Barrera showed great loyalty to Hatton with all the respect and friendship he showed him and when Barrera goes to Great Britain Hatton didn't even enter the ring for him? Hatton sided with an overrated ******* multi-cultural hype-hero image who he hardly even knows over Barrera the man who was on his side in a country foreign to Hatton over a fellow Mexican and Hatton does that? Oh then there's the fact he held out for 50-50 against Pac the P4P champion? UHM on what grounds does Hatton think he deserves 50-50 against the P4P champ and multiple weight division champion who beat ATGs ? "I BEAT MALIGNAGGI ;DDDD" **** off you greedy fat **** he pretty much uses his whole British fan base to negotiate deals and earn more money and the Brits fall for it? How can Brits seriously support somone like that? Yet we turn around and ****talk people like Carl Froch who are taking big risks to prove somthing to the boxing world? Wow.

The best parts yet to come though, Hatton trys to compare himself to Roberto Duran (HAHAHAHA) yet he apparently can't even go up 7 lbs without being made to look like a fool? "I'M UNBEATEN AT 140!" LOL SO? Who have you fought @ 140 that makes you think you're the best at 140? Kosta Tszyu? (LOL, over the hill and argueably winning until he quit for some reason) Uhhhh an old Castillo? Malinaggi? ROFL yeah you definatly proved you're the best @ 140. Oh wait you haven't beaten Kendall Holt or Timothy Bradley? and ducked Junior Whitter like the plague.

Sorry for the rant but honestly after seeing non-stop Hatton on my T.V (born and raised in England so I'm subjected to such bull**** if I want to see anything to do with Boxing on our T.V) about how great he is and how he made us proud by losing to Floyd I'm just sick of the guy. Brits wake up, Hatton is a **** he's bad for boxing. His brother's a prick aswell.

/End rant.

another hate thread,u should be so proud.
45-1 with 32 kos.world champion in two weight classes.undisputed king of 140-never ducked anyone despite wot u seem 2 think.a nice down 2 earth guy with millions in the bank,the longer ur rant went on i couldnt help but detect a hint of jealousy lol
