Why was Ricky Hatton so popular?

What kind of energy do Ray and Ricky Hatton emit, Flint?

 

I don't remember seeing Hatton being out dressed like that?

 

Is that how they dress for a night out in Swansea?

No wonder all the girls push infront of you when you are dressed like that - you look like a wimp

 

:rofl:good

 

Fair enough Flint, hang the ****er......

 

Flint is a legend that is for sure.

 

Hatton filled a void left by Benn, Eubank, Bruno, Naz etc....

Calzaghe while more talented than Ricky in the ring seems to have had a personality bypass thus making him rather unimportant to the general public (similar to Lennox Lewis).

Hatton was charismatic and built up well by Warren and then finally delivered the goods when it really mattered against Tszyu. Of course the Man City/Blue Moon football following is also a big part of his popularity. He was the right guy at the right time to take the mantle of britains favourite fighter and he would of undoubtedly become even more popular alot quicker had he had the exposure of terrestrial tv which others before him had.

Some people in this thread do sound seriously bitter and twisted at Hattons popularity sad really hes done wonders for British boxing the past 5 years.

 

Like the ones that so cruely denied you a taxi after your chav night on the town in Swansea?

 

Ah!!! now we seem to be arriving at the crux of the problem. You have jealously issues with popular people??:rofl
