    If you bottle it, it means you lose all confidence, fold and get the hell out of there.

    But it also means to literally hit comeone with a bottle, or throw a bottle at someone from point blank range.

    Nothing to do with cockney rhyming slang.

    Bottle means guts 'he's got no bottle' means 'he's got no guts'. 'Bottling it' means chickening out.
    When the guy was talking about bottling the fan man he meant he thought they threw bottles at him/hit him with a bottle.

    Worst entourage: Well, don't know if it qualifies but I always found Chris Byrd's wife pretty annoying.

    Nigel Benn's entourage had some pretty dodgy characters.

    Mendy, Carlton Leach, Tony Tucker, probably quite a few others I'd expect.

    I went to the same college as Lee Beard in Salford, played football with him. Very decent striker actually. He was so non-descript, when I heard Hatton had a trainer called Lee Beard, and I saw a pic of him, I STILL didn't remember the guy. My mate had to spell it out to me that it was the guy we knew.

    I find it hard to believe he's a) training a world class fighter and b) is a 'dickhead' because he was OK when I knew him, not a dickhead at all.

    Was a while back to be fair.

    An ego can grow pretty quickly though..... look at Ricky Hatton himself.

    Around the Castillo fight he was a sound guy - funny, down to earth, the man of the people literally, and he's steadily become more arrogant to the point of being a delusional, irratating.... arsehole basically.

    I don't buy Betty's theory that he was always an arse and he has been 'exposed' :)-() but he has changed a lot IMO.

    In all honesty, I think Haskins' entourage (if it can be called that) is quite cringeworthy. He's from a pretty nice part of Bristol (by south Bristol's standards anyway:lol:) and his entrance song which 'goes out to everyone in Lockleaze' cracks me up every time!:rofl

    Even still, British AND Commonwealth Champ!:happy
