    Hehe, fair play

    I've no issue with your space or lack of it between 'nut' and 'hugger' or 'licker'

    The whole thing is just pathetic though and no doubt an Americanism

    Where the fĂșck did you pick up such language?

    I was told to stop using the word shill so nuthugger was the next best thing. :lol:

    I think shill is more Americnism than nuthugger.

    I stand by my point. Hatton has always had a rabid fanbase even when he was WBU 'champ' and long before he was known by anyone bar Mancunian football louts or else hardcore boxing fans. That fanbase was created in large part due to Warren's shrewd management of Hatton: promoting and pushing the Man City link to the max and Hatton himself going on to Soccer AM etc. Most of the individuals that made the journey over to the States for the Mayweather fight were idiots, Man City supporting moronic idiots that know little or nothing about boxing.

    Betty Swollocks can tell you stories about Hatton's fans: he was verbally attacked and abused at the Olivera fight.

    I don't think it's a good thing that he's attracting these chavs, fairweather glory hunters to our sport. Boxing elitism? Yep. Ive never denied it. When I start hearin **** like 'Hatton's Britains greatest ever boxer' or 'Hatton is the 2nd best fighter in the World' and even some fans picking up on his bull**** and comparing him to Duran it makes me want to puke.

    Not all Hatton fans are idiots, of course not. Guys like Gaz say are wholly reasonable guys and good boxing fans. The majority however are idiots and it's these fools that I can't stand.

    Btw, nothing against football fans. Im one of the most active posters in the lounge in regards to football related topics and I love the sport though most know that it's a huge proporition of the supporters of club football in particular are total wankers.

    very good post.
    we also almost got in a row at the Tszyu-Hatton fight, as the people sat around me were insufferable ****s who as a bonus knew nothing about boxing. The same kind of idiots who booed through the US anthem on the night PBF knocked his ass out.

    pipe down you aboeba, you're one of the very worst posters on here. Hattonites like Gaz and RonUK are fine, no rowing there..just different points of view. You on the other hand are a complete joke.

    I just hate snobbery in all its forms

    I find your description of the people who support Hatton and who went to Vegas as 'idiots' and 'chav louts'

    There's bits of truth in it but it's unnecessary generalisation

    He appeals to a wide audience, get over it, do you think the huge crowds for Benn-Eubank etc were bad for the sport? Or were they all die-hards?

    I thought you've hated Hatton for 5 years?

    Why did you go to the Tszyu fight and Oliveira fight? :nut

    I was living in London at the time of Oliveira and was given a free ticket, so why not go and give Ray some support after watching the undercard.
    Tsyzu - fitted it in with a weekend visiting old mates. Good weekend, the main event was boring as **** though.

    Tszyu - Hatton was boring?

    Possibly the stupidest thing you've ever said, considering you put Rees above Hatton in the LWW rankings that takes some going.
