Ricky Hatton as an amateur

He actually started off as a kickboxer, but his limbs were to short to go anywhere with it and he went to boxing.

 

Hatton was a BEAST as an amatuer.

 

i like the little pryor style point at the start from ricky. :yep

the guy was a freak even then.

stocky as hell.

big chunky legs.

serious arse kicker. :bbb

 

What Achilles meant was that he was very GOOD as an amateur, not a **** amateur!!atsch

 

He was a Welterweight back then yet thinks Welter doesn't suit him as a pro.

 

Dave - "he ain't ****" means he ain't nothing, if you're American.

 

Is this serious or suppose to be a joke? :rofl

 

funnily enough it's true.

 

Hold on. Let me see if I've understood this correctly..................if you're a dippitt American and you say that someone 'ain't ****' it actually means they ARE ****'? Therefore if an American Idiot( I must write a song about that:huh ) says someone IS **** it must mean they're quite good really?

Right, I think I have that!!! I'M SO **** IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!:happy

 

wow, really good....
i dont understand why people dont like ricky...i could bet my life on it that it's cause he's from across the pond....i'm a mexican born and raised in southern cali, and we love him down here.....

 

sometimes he over does it, but his style is pretty exciting....i've seen most of his fights and his clinching only bothered me about 2 times....i guess i'm a loyal fan.....

 

Do you guys like him becuase he fights like a Mexican?

 

he dont fight like a mexican he fights like a kid that just wants to fight :yep :yep :yep ....that whole fighting like a mexican thing is what them euro's think, but really....he dont

he has a unique style and we just love it....plus, he's next in line to try and bash floyds head in, hopefully this one comes through

 

for reals....when fools say that mexicans just brawl shows their lack of knowledge.....when i think of mexican fighters, i think of finito, the marquez bros, chavez, mijares, montiel,martin and jose luis castillo, humberto soto etc etc....the closest we come to brawlers right now are margarito and arce, and even they show more skill than fighters like soliman, or mayorga who really are brawlers .....and those fighters i named are as of recent.....we still got some og mexicans that have that same style.......

if you compare their blood and guts style of fighting, then i can agree to some extent, but that blood and guts **** is blown way out of proportion too....any race or ethnicity can have a couple of blood and guts warriors...
