    He looked like **** against Collazo

    Malignaggi is a B- win.

    Urango as well.

    Castillo was shot.

    and these are the best wins of a supposedly p4p fighter.

    That's why.

    Hatton was always overrated... can't say he was a bum though.

    I'll never say a bad thing about Ricky Hatton. I look back on his career with fondness.

    The Tszyu win was legit by the way.

    Ricky Hatton is one tough guy. It's hard to get that far as he did in boxing with his particular style. He made the most of his talent or lack thereof.

    The young Ricky Hatton was actually pretty good. Quick. Snappy. But starting with the Tszyu fight he just became this ugly wrestler, a mini John Ruiz. I just hated him more and more with each "fight".

    Is it a coincidence that the two most well known boxers with the name "Hitman" lost in devastating fashion twice to the two best fighters of their era? :think.

    are you 12 years old? Boxers being 'role models for kids' is just a media invention.


    Most people his age have done coke. sorry to break this to you.

    He's hardly a bum, he was champ for many years.

    Ive always said its too easy to call Hatton a bum because he didnt fight with a pretty style. People question his weak resume, which it wasnt, and when you point out the big names on it people write Tzu and a couple of others off, very convenient.

    He was a crude ugly fighter, had a following of drunk football fans and was English. Those are the main reasons for people disliking him. But truth is he was a real force in the Lightwelterweight division. Most boxers superior boxing skills were just not enough to stop them being steamrolled by Hattons aggressive hunt and kill tactics.

    If you cant give the man credit then you dont know what your on about.

    get ****ed. he was living the life he wanted. he doesn't have to apologise to you or anyone else for living the way he wanted. Fact is: he was one of the best in the world at what he did. Flawed? maybe. But a bum? Nooo.

    A real bum doesn't train to be a world champion boxer. slight flaw in your definition there.
