admit it....who was fooled by Hatton's boxing career?

This is my point with these idiots. Not one of them can even counter what iv said as all of spoken is the truth and what has ACTUALLY occured over the span of their careers.

 

Well apart from your post yesterday about Tyson being an ATG yet Lewis ins't

You also do not give Hatton any sort of credit for fighting the best (PBF & Manny) because he got paid...... Yet you give loads of credit to Witter when he faced Judah !! WHY do you think Witter took that fight.... probably something to do with the money.

I'm not going to argue that his WBU days were anything more than average but he did end up stepping up and had a good career beating some good names and a few belts along the way.

 

That's a separate argument and I definitely don't agree with Scurla there. Tyson was sensational but didn't really have the longevity to be called great.

My main bone of contention with Hatton is the Witter thing. He said himself he would fight him and even, supposedly, had it written into his contract yet he never faced him and came out with a host of spurious reasons for not doing so.

 

Learn to ****ing read. I NEVER said LL wasnt an ATG. I questioned his career against the greats of his day. And why does Hatton deserve credit for facing PBF and Pac when a CAREER PAYDAY was at stake? Hatton has had economic clout BECAUSE OF THE WAY WARREN PROMOTED HIM. Are you not aware of that? Do you think its by chance the boy made so much money at the M.E.N beating up tin cans?

Conversely you actually believe Witter who took the bout on short notice to save the main headline took that for a payday? So he takes that for a payday and FW ditches him afterwards? Seriously get a clue already.

 

Honestly I like Witter being a fellow yorkshireman but his fans only seem to be Hatton haters.... who use his name to knock Ricky.

Apart from being both British was any massive reason they should have fought.

While Hatton was heading the bill in Las Vegas chasing a PBF fight. Witter was figting in the Doncaster dome

 

the only reason why ppl support hatton is because there able to identify with him more hes done allot of work on his boy next door image so many ppl see him as 1 of the lads i cant see any other reason to support him his boxing skills are quite premitive, hes a good fighter but not elite,

 

No no their rivalry goes back way before Hatton was headlining bills in Las Vegas. There's plenty of video evidence to prove this as well but I've had this discussion so many times I really can't be bothered anymore.

 

Serious question. How old are you and how long have you been watching boxing? :think

 

Honestly I don't really care about the Witter v Hatton argument anyway.... so I'm not going to spend anymore time on it as I like both fighters.

He desevers better than a load of Hatton haters using his name to knock Ricky

 

You are bang on the money here mate,I have always been a Ricky Hatton fan I have watched him numerous times and travelled to Vegas to see his fight with Mayweather. I liked him because he is an entertaining fighter but I gave up on him being a great the day he was outclassed and smashed all over the ring by Collazo for 7 rounds and ended up getting a shocking disgraceful unaminous decision.

I have no doubt that Witter would have beaten Hatton no matter what year the fight would have taken place.Witter was too damn dangerous and too strong with either hand for Frank Warren and team Hattons liking.

Hattons contempt for Witter was disgraceful and he used the excuse that he didn`t want Witter to have a big pay day for not fighting him.

If Mayweather and Pacquiao had the same attitude Ricky wouldn`t have got to fight the big fights.Hatton got the big fights because he is big office on SKY and has a massive following of muppets who sing theres only one Ricky Hatton and pack the venues Ricky fights at.

 

Hatton was a clear betting outsider against pac and he lost the fight. There is very little to gloat about in picking pac - he was widley expected to win.

 

This is what annoys me. Ricky has been playing the "ordinary lad" trumpet for years now. Kostya did not need to fight him. Neither did Pac or PBF. He wasnt a mandatory for neither men and both men fought outside his division. Both times Ricky chose the smaller men and his premise was the same.. Il just bully them! Worked against ****** Rowsell!!! Why not Cotto? SSM? Marg? Cintron? Williams? The guy is sooo fabled for his strength (according to his fans)and yet couldnt make the march 7lbs north to beat a no namer like Collazo but Pac can rise from 106lbs to 147 and decimate DLH??!?! Seriously Hatton fans are a bad bad joke.

And yet Kostya gave him that chance but Ricky wouldnt return the favor? After a decade of malice between them Britains biggest domestic bout since Eubank Benn doesnt get made because Witter called Hatton names?

Ricky wasnt stupid. Neither was Frank. They both knew the result. His fans didnt.

 

JonOli..........

You obviously never saw the build up on SKY or read the papers.Hatton was expected to beat Pacquiao because he was too big and too strong.All the muppets on SKY picked Hatton to win bar the great Colin Hart who has forgotten more about boxing than Adam Smith,Mcrory and that idiot Piper will ever know.

25,000 Brits went to Vegas believing Hatton would win as they were taken in by the bull**** and the hype that has surrounded Ricky Hatton for years.Look at all the forums and the majority of Brits were picking Hatton to win based on bull**** and hype.

 

You wanna hear a joke? I read the day before the fight that Joe picked Hatton to win because Hatton had a height advantage. Pac is an inch taller than Hatton. His also physically bigger than Ricky in every statistic other than his waist (surprise surprise) and his fist i think. Other than that statiscally a former flyweight was the bigger man. Iv never seen a hype train like this. Its been going on for years and all his fans fell for it hook line and sinker.

That's called promotion. Facts are facts Hatton was a fairly big outsider in the betting, Pac a very clear favourite. Even Hatton himself openly stated he was not expected to win the fight. Those are the facts. If you choose to believe everything a few self serving pundits say, then that is your business.
