    Regardless of those things you have to respect the man for willing to take on the best fights out there and giving the fans what they want.

    He talks about himself in third person because largely that is what boxers do. They act like the boxing side of them is an alter ego. Roy Jones went as far as to name his boxing alter ego.

    He claims he is the people champ because that is his selling point/angle. Hatton understands he is a product and while some of us might hate this, it is the reason why he is so well off and well known.

    Hatton really isn't fooling people with the P4P thing. Neither Forrest nor Taylor were established P4P fighters. Your examples are similar to Hatton beating Tszyu and no one made him P4P1-3 after that. Hatton is an established P4P fighter who should rank between 5-10. Beating the number 1 can make him number 1 especially considering that JMM lost to Pac and JMM is supposedly the other fighter in the running for the number 1 spot.

    I think he's a genuinely nice guy with some annoyances although some of the things the OP mentioned are spot on.

    The third person talk annoys me more than anything.

    Don't agree with all of this but that talking in the third person is becoming very annoying. It works for somebody like James Toney because blowing his own trumpet has been his style from day one but not for Hatton, it's becoming cringeable. Get a grip Ricky.

    I started to feel the same thing with Frank Bruno. I followed his career pretty much from day one but started to get a bit fed up with the same routine every interview 'Black & Decker', 'Getting a suntan' 'know what I mean?'
    There's only so many times you can laugh at the same jokes before the teller becomes the joke.
