I broadly agree with what Hart is saying but he should know better than to post crap about "writing a suicide note".
:yep In very bad taste that comment. He didn't mince his words throughout that article, but he crossed the line at the end.
He has got a habit of putting his foot in his mouth, "Speed kills" his comment straight after the fight, with Hatton on his way to hospital.
The suicide note was a step too far. He comes off a bit smug here as if it was a huge shock Ricky would get beat.
where have all the good boxing writers gone? can you imagine hugh mcilvanney writing shite like this there's a parallel in the decline of boxing talent, knowledgible fans and good boxing writers
This part is horse****; "It was based on what I had seen when Ricky struggled to outpoint journeyman Juan Lazcano in front of more than 50,000 of his ecstatic fans at Manchester City’s ground. The many flaws that had developed were glaringly obvious that night as Lazcano, a feather-duster puncher, came close to putting him on the floor three times."
Colin Hart, **** off. You've had more retirement parties than I've had hot dinners. You write bollocks constantly, you contradict yourself constantly. How you are still employed is beyond me. The fact that you think your wig fools anyone is proof of how stupid you are. As a certain fighter once said of another pundit "that thing on your head is a foney and it comes from the tail of a pony" I didn't read the article as it was in the "scum" but the name Colin Hart is always associated with bull****. He's a flavour of the month writer. If Hatton fights on and wins a couple of fights Hart will be praising Ricky. Seriously Colin, get lost.
An absolute twat, Johnny Nelson looked like he wanted to spark him out, but the occasion got to him :rofl
The look of disdain on Nelson's face when Hart said Hatton's weight jumping had caught up with him was an absolute picture.
