    Of course it's not

    It's about to become received wisdom though isn't it

    Good post

    I think whatever story they put out it will have holes. Because essentially, they aren't telling the truth. Neither side is. Not the whole, complicated truth anyway.

    They are trying to give the media and the public a clean, simple answer but it's probably a relatively grubby situation that's developed over the years. The best way to deal with it is to put out passable explanations and save a bit of dignity...

    Hello Ray

    Can you please inform us why Ricky insists on making his fans pay for PPV's when he's one of the lads?

    I dont give a **** who you are really - theres no way of knowing wether your name is Ray Hatton or any old Joe Bloggs.

    Your entitled to be annoymous on here like anyone else.

    And are you saying that I am actually lieing about the gym behind my back garden where Colin Jones has trained all his life?

    If so you seriously misjudge my character.

    I am not some sado who makes up lies in a pathetic attempt to impress people - I've met alot of them types - and I am certainly not one of them.

    That gym behind my back garden I posted a photo of it on here - and its a real boxing gym and it where Colin Jones trained for all his fights including against pound for pound king Don "Cobra" Curry

    ALL TRUE 100%

    Trotter - how much a cut do you and Carol take out of Ricky's purse?

    and do you leave Matthews purse alone and leave him have it all because he only earns peanuts compared to Ricky?

    I think Matthew will retain all his purse. It is a bit unfair to start taking deductions from a guy who could probably earn a better living working on security at Morrisons.

    He would also get free dinner from the readyfood counter - and plenty of chicken for his newborn :rofl

    I think they are milking the down to earth thing for all it is worth at the moment, and whilst I wouldn't say there was a great deal of hate, resentment has set in.

    Now I would call myself a Witter hater (for a variety of reasons) but find Hatton's shameless ducking of him cringeworthy. To say that Witter didn't deserve a shot is daft - as he was proven to be #2 in the division and held the WBC title. The whole charade was just about bearable until he lost to Mayweather and then signed to fight Lazcano, who had lost to a guy who Witter totally schooled, outclassed and anthing else you may like to add.

    You're making out his career is finished because he'll lose a rematch to a retired welterweight and get beaten if he fights a semi-retired junior middleweight. Are those his only options at this point?

    Why not just draw a line under this whole thread, they have parted company and thats that. Any how I do feel that hatton should have least finished is career with graham or if they really wanted to get shut of him why not do it after the floyd fight instead of making it into a bad soap.

    Exactly

    The Paulie fight is written off as 'nothing' because it's not Floyd or Oscar

    Which speaks volumes for the level Hatton's operated at for the last few years

    The Paulie fight is written off because he is fighting someone who couldn't KO a flyweight :deal

    The 140 division is awful at the moment, so Hatton ought to be able to clear up, politics aside.

    Or someone who went the distance with Cotto... you know how this works

    End of the day he holds a strap fair and square

    He's no great shakes but if for example Junior beat him for a strap, he'd get kudos for it; rightly so in my book

    Any win of a legitimate belt on foreign soil is a job well done in my book

    Any fight that you can cream off as much money as you can from Rickys mug fans pay per view sales is a job well done in your book Ray

    The man with the plan

    It would not surprise me if Trotter (pictured below) was the main force behind the sacking of Billy Graham
