I used to enjoy Rickys fights and felt he had a good attitude all through the WBU days and up until the Tszyu fight. But is seems from around the Maussa fight his ego has been gradually increasing to the size of a whale. -He ALWAYS talks about himself in the third person. -Always claims to be the peoples champ etc etc and tells us hes doing us fans a HUGE favor when he fights in the UK. -Constantly claims to be exciting...John Ruiz doesnt do that..neither should Hatton. -The P4P TITLE...hes always trying to fool casual fans that if he beats Floyd/Manny then hes p4p number 1...sorry but it doesnt work like that Ricky. Was Forrest p4p number 1 after he spanked Mosley? Was Taylor p4p number 1 after he decisioned Hopkins? No and No. Its rare im turned off by a fighter iv always followed but its certainly happened with Hatton and i know im not alone.
you posted this thread 2 year to late mate. i agree with everything you say but this has been done to death. also put avoids junior witter
He's cool in my books, and ill be rooting for him come may. I know people are mad with rick about the whitter rejection fight, which pissed me off at times. But Dude goes out and fights the best! His attitude and character is humble compared to calzaggy, khan, etc!!
Same here,I like Hatton, He's talks some **** sometimes and the p4p talk is just pure nonsense but really he's alright. As for Ducking Witter, if taking on Mayweather and Pacquiao doesn't make up for that then i don't know what will.
I still like him but I get irritated with his nonsense at times. I'll be cheering him on come the Pacman fight an actually think he'll beat him, but I won't be upset should he be sparked out.
agree with Healy and Fat Joe. ''There's only 'oooonnnneeee Wicky 'Atton...only ooonnneeee Wicky 'Atton..........''
I've just learned to accept his downsides such as the pound for pound title and other hype bollox but he has been great for british boxing and is giving us some of the biggest and most exciting fights. He still has a likeable personality to me.
I never used to like him, but i like his humour and personality now. ha ha i am laughing just thinking about him. He know's what he is saying, and i think he know's half the stuff he says, may annoy people. That's what i find funny..
I know through reading many of your past posts you absolutly adore the ground Calzaghe walks on - he can do no wrong with you. You once said you were choking up during the worst ever 24/7 with Joe in. Joe is far worse at the sort of things you describe... so disliking Hatton purley for the little things he says makes you a bit of hypocrite imo. Anyway, I don't bother watching or reading interviews Hatton does. Once you have seen or read one of them, you have seen or read the lot as far as i'm concerned. I find him generaly, in interview, rather boring to be honest. I like the way that he has took on Tszue, Pac, Floyd and possibly JMM though. Generally I think he's OK and has been/is very good for British boxing.
