Hatton says he would have to promote the Khan fight if it were to happen

Thats the end of that then.

 

If they did what JC and RJ Jnr did they could do what they wanted and cut everyone out and make it totally their own show...:think

 

It's an easy way of saying 'I don't won't the fight and no-one's dictating what I choose to do'. No-one's accusing him of 'bitching out', as the Yanks would say on the GF, but Hatton obviously has other priorities- and who could blame him? Sky were the only ones who kept bringning a Hatton-Khan fight up and the constant talk of it their end was getting annoying to say the least. At last it can be put to rest now:good.

 

Thats easier for Hatton, JC and RJJ to do at that stage of their careers then it would be for Khan, he's got potentially a long time left in the sport and might not want to rock the boat just yet.

 

Hattons fault

He burned his bridges with Warren

And he was OK to do so - to become independent and earn more

But the downside to that is - now he needs Warrens corporation - he is filled with doubt

I dont see what he has got to be concerend about though

Warren seems to have be open to the fight - and didnt seem to have a problem with worrking with Hatton again

I guess Hattons ego wont allow him to fight for Warrens Sports Network again

 

Ricky needs an easy number. Pretty much the story of his entire career.

 

Hatton doesn't need Warren's co-operation. He quite simply doesn't need this fight. It wouldn't do that much for his reputation in the sport (even if he chins Khan early, think Breidis Prescott, whereas a loss would tarnish his record). He's earned enough money and if he hasn't can earn a load more fighting any other champ in the division. He doesn't need Warren or Khan and did far better in terms of legacy and money after leaving Warren that, I believe, he'd have done with him.

 

When you start from a totally skewed perspective which is determined to find a flaw with and tear down the many champs/contenders/elite fighters he took on during his career then yes it is. Meanwhile, for those of us who live in the real world...

He never needed none of the WBU ones either. This would be an EXCELLENT fight for British boxing. In years gone by domestic stars who were also big names internationally fought each other. Hatton has never been interested in that because his entire career is opportunistic. To be frank i think he'd destroys Khan but its disgraceful for him not to make this fight and give back to the sport that has rewarded him so handsomely. Paltry excuses like "he doesnt need this fight" are a disgrace to what this sport is all about.

Shane Mosley didnt need Vernon Forrest but he gave him that opportunity and fought him. Kostya never needed Hatton but he fought him and launched the kids career into stardom. Hatton though is never willing to do what all great fighters do because his is a career that wants the best reward for the least amount of risk and guys like you have no problem explaining away facical retorts such as this.

Iv watched Ricky since his career began and im more than willing to call a spade a spade. The great fighters in British history all gave to this sport handsomely. Ricky Hatton hasnt. If the pinnacle of his career are hand picked titles vs guys no one's ever heard of and a career defined by a guy who had one foot in retirement than i suggest you find another sport to watch.

 

****ing hell, do we have do to this again?

 

Tosser

 

You're mums a tosser. This is the problem with you Fratboys rather than debate a point with logic you're first retort is to cuss out.

 

If it wasnt for the hottie in you're avatar id let you have it to. (whats her name by the way?)
