    Lets see haye fought the best man in his division and is pencilled in to fight Vladimir. He hasnt taken the short route to stardom and worked his way up the hard way. Froch also did the same without the financial backing or clout that SN has over Hennesy. If you cannot understand that then find another sport to watch.

    I just find it funny that guys like you and scurla are giving hatton such a slating when you are a big fan of dunne and have been saying he was world class when he got sparked by a very average fighter and has beaten nobody of any real significance, Then you have scurla the big witter man, witter being a guy who never fought the top guys and then got battered by bradley who is many levels below floyd or pacman.

    What a crock of ****, you mean the same carl froch that is older than ricky hatton, carl froch has only just got a decent win and he is older than ricky and has spent the last 3-4 years doing nothing and calling out calzaghe.
    Haye despite being my favourite fighter hasn't fought anyone at heavyweight to get a shot and didn't clean out the crusierweight divsion, he and froch have done things a different way but why is it better hatton has fought far better fighters than either man and while he may have lost to floyd and manny who's to say froch and haye would not lose to fighters of that level.

    You see the point here Healy. They make myraids of excuses time again. The weight. His only small bla bla. Pac was a ****ing flyweight who's been as high as 47 and had MASSIVE success. Ricky couldnt even go 7lbs north. Shane Oscar Zab Gatti Cotto etc all marched through the weights with success and Ricky who according to his fans was sooo strong so big for the weight got mauled by a flyweight who actually according to there physical statistics other than an inch diffrence in height was actually the bigger man. Either way its immaterial. Ricky just simply wasnt and never has been good enough.

    So losing to perhaps the two best fighters of the last 15-20 years makes you not good enough what a load of ****, hatton was world class and a world champions he just wasn't at the level of the true atg that floyd and manny will be seen as.

    Why dont you go away and actually watch there fights and careers and then report back to me hmmkay pumpkin. Its pretty obvious your towing the same tired joyboy lines of the usual Hatton jocks. Would you care to explain WHY Hatton refused to face Witer despite saying he would numerous times on live TV over the last decade. And do not site money resume as an excuse as Witter did everything asked of him by Ricky. His fans said he would blow him away and yet Ricky wouldnt face him when he was legit humber 2 in the division, when he was a world champ and when BOTH were promoted by SN. If Witter was such a nobody why not silenced your critics? Il tell you why because Warren and Ricky were not stupid and neither were the hardcore fans.

    witter is less world class than hatton at least hatton fought the best and failed, witter fought the average and looked average. Your obviously have no level of objectivity due to your hate for hatton. You are making silly claims about fighters who have done alot less than hatton and still come up short. So what if hatton didn't fight witter he has fought a number of far better fighters than witter.

    exactly what he said, if hatton was as good as everyone was saying he would of had a lot more ease moving to 147 and performing, billy graham always said he never wanted hatton to fight at 147, why not?? if he is a s good as what i hear the fighter should be able to adapt

    can someone name one fighter on the p4p list who couldnt move up in weight and perform, hattons whole career was based on the KT win, since then his most notable win was castillo who was ruined since the first corrales fight, and we all know collazo won the fight that night against hatton

    as far as im concerned now hatton is finished and should retire as he wouldnt even beat kotelnik at the moment, i was always a strong believer that bradley would of beaten hatton and i know im right

    Also i am not even a big hatton fan, you will not find many posts of me talking joyboy **** about him, i just find yours and a few other postera attitudes pathetic and very hypocritical.

    What about the Chop Chop fight when Corley was the WBO champ. Why did Ricky reneg on his number 1 and refuse to fight him? What about Pinto? Why did that fight not happen? Pinto went on to to fight Cotto and Cotto won the WBO. What about Cotto? Why did that fight not happen when Ricky said he wanted to fight him? What about when Ricky was the WBA mandatory to an unbeaten Harris? What was the excuse then? All we hear is excuses and short memories from you gimps. None of you are aware of the facts or you choose to ignore it. What do you think would have happened if he'd got in the ring with SSM Marg Cintron Torres etc. Easy night at the races right? But the excuse is now he was fighting an elite fighter! No this is what happens when you step into REAL world class. Theres a big diffrence between collecting belts and fighting REAL WORLD CLASS TALENT.
