Hatton Beginning to Annoy??

Yea really annoyed a British/English boxer is willing to take on the P4P no1 - hotest property in boxing at the moment - in his prime. Simply terrible.

 

:blood

I think if you are annoyed by someone who you have never met or spoken to in your whole life then you are either jealous or have an attitude problem.
(not aiming that at you Healy :hey )

Although I hate Alan Carr and I have never met him :nono I guess I have an attitude problem with over the top camp batty boys.

But to answer your question - no, a slightly thick relatively down to earth northerner isnt starting to annoy me.

 

Nah, he's a great guy and everyone loves him....really genuine like De La Hoya. A very modest man who hates attention and only rarely treats himself to a private jet, chocolate bar, exec. box at Man City, carribean cruise etc etc.

 

less annoying than black posts on black backgrounds.

 

He's a good guy- u only see him in media mode.

 

Jealousy just oozes out of that statement:yep

Aren't you happy in your spartan white room complete with Morales/Pacquiao painting, just waiting for the next Hatton quote to jerk off over and then in a fit of self loathing you come on here to slag him off some more?

I know strap some gloves on and go and fight for money, see if you can earn some of that money it might ease the pain.

 

I'm sure he is a nice guy but in the media he's an arrogant tosser that plays up to his "fans". To the OP, I think you are not alone, 50% of the forum acknowledge this.

 

As an aussie first time poster on your British site I should hate the bloke for what he did to our champ Kostya, but the truth is, the more I see of him, the more there is to admire.
He talks a good fight, then goes out and delivers. The bloke ducks nobody and following the Mayweather defeat didn't spend every waking hour screaming to the press with excuses.
If he wants to talk in the third person I say, good onya mate, go your hardest.
He's just the sort of bloke we'd love to claim as an Aussie.
As for the Ricky V Manny bout!
Manny the better technical boxer, Ricky too strong at that weight and should be able to out tough Manny as the fight wears on.
Just my opinion for what its worth.

Cheers from down under

 

Hatton is a very shrewd businessman as well as a boxer. He talks in third person to get his brand out there constantly. "Ricky Hatton".

He talks about a "pound for pound title" to appeal to football fans that watch Sky, who have a vague interest in boxing, but support UK fighters.

 

If any of you ever meet Hatton he is one of the most down to earth people you could ever meet. When out of training he still comes in he local boozers and will have a laugh and a joke and talk with everyone and anyone.

When you meet him he never speak 3rd person he just does that when he is talking about his fans. Ricky is a gent and a top man.

 

Nice one Julian:good that seems to be the reasonable way of seeing things but some Brits will back someone travelling from a far away land against their own.
It's kinda like me backing Brazil over England, just because Brazil are Legends are entertaining.
When Katsidis fought Casamayor or Diaz did the Aussies support him?
I mean Michael isn't exactly humble is he but he's a great warrior, entertaing and one of your boys.
I really enjoy watching him fight but if he fought Amir i'm backing Khan.

There's something strangely wrong about a Brit wearing a Pac-Man flag and cheering him on to K.O Ricky....

 

Not really.

One could easily have been a big fan of Pacquiao for years and enjoy his style in the ring far more than Hatton.

Boxing is not primarily about nationality. This ain't the Olympics.

 

No of course the greater fighter wins in the Ring i.e Cotto whooped Michael Jennings.
I am a Cotto fan and enjoy his style far more than Michaels but come fight night I was was rooting for Michael Jennings.

It would have felt very strange cheering on Cotto to beat his ass.

I just imagine the Aussies to have more national loyalty to their sportsmen....I could be wrong.

 

constants threads over something so trivial annoy me more, seriously ppl should get a grip.

 

G'day Guy,
When it comes to not supporting your own national fighter you blokes in Britain don't have the monopoly.
There's plenty here that don't mind bagging our own fighters but thankfully it usually comes from the half wit brigade that wouldn't know a left hook from a fish hook.
As far as Katsidis goes, he gets plenty of support here and the general feeling is that, yes he is cocky, but he hasn't yet crossed over that line into outright arrogance.
Sure hope he dosen't.
He's got plenty of heart, but I can see him getting out boxed by someone with Khan's skills.
I mean after all I should know!
I'm the bright spark that had plenty on Kostya to stop Ricky inside 6 rounds.
