Ricky Hatton is a cross between two 80s guys by the names of "Ray Mancini and Gene Hatcher............... Sorry, but true.......... Hatton might be a tad better than Mancini & Hatcher, but he has been equally exposed / KO'd...... He has / had lotsa' guts and courage, but his skills and chin suck....... Hatton needs to retire....... Cheers.... MR.BILL
Get the ****ing sand out of your vagina. Hatton bamboozled a ton of people. There are actually people who thought he was top 3 p4p at one time. I love Ricky because he reminds me of one of my all time favorites, Arturo Gatti. Problem is, most of us die hard Gatti fans knew what he was, a blood and guts fighter, but B-level at best. Ricky has had a ton of people thinking he was A-level, and those of us who said no way were called haters or idiots. Ricky has been one of my favorites since I seen him destroy Ray Oliveira, so don't call me a hater. Don't end the post with respect, when you disrespected me multiple times in your post.
Ricky was never on Pacs level. He had a chance because he's naturally bigger & stronger but he wasn't at his best, I think due to his bad habits between fights. The Hatton that beat Tszyu would have lasted longer but still probably lost. He's just too open.
These Gatti comparisons are really annoying. Hatton dominated 140 for years. OK its not the strongest division but Hatton was by far the best in the world @ that weight. For a 140lber he is A-level.
If I was Hatton I would have been freaked out by Pacquaio's mother praying over the Las Vegas sky line in that episode of 24/7. She was putting some weird spell on him.
Hatton is way more talented than Gatti, sorry I didn't specify. What I mean by it, is that Hatton fights balls out and goes out on his shield, and that's why I love watching him. On the other hand, Hatton's resume of wins isn't as impressive as some would make you think. Hatton KO1 Gatti, for the record. :good
Hatton doesn't box, he swarms. To keep Pacquiao off of you, you have to move away from him at angles and pimp your jab like your ***** is on the other end of it. Hatton can't do that. Nothing Mayweather Sr. could do would have kept Pacquiao from doing what he did.
Pac definitely cheated by using the old God trick. His God was putting spells on Hatton, making him slow to react. That stuff he was doing before the fight? That was a ritual designed to invoke his God against Hatton.
