    You're a clown.

    Hatton fought (and beat) unified, undisputed and one of the biggest punchers ever at 140 in legend Kostya Tszyu. He also fought ATG's in Mayweather and Pacman. Nobody gives two shits about a British title when the guy won world level straps.

    Hatton was not afraid to get in and mix it with legitimate monsters of this sport and you are essentially calling him a coward.

    You're a joke pal. Wind your neck in. Hatton deserves his HOF status. At his best he was absolutely top level.

    Mayweather also ducked Margarito . Claimed he didn't know who he was LOL He knew who he was the day he stood in front of him to ask "Why wont you fight me"? Floyd had a nervous breakdown, stammering & stuttering, finally losing control completely This was witnessed by the crowd many of whom had Cell phones I'm sure you've seen the videos lol. When Margarito destroyed Cotto he scared Floyd & Oscar off . Oscar instead fought Pacquaio !!! BIG Mistake He got his clock cleaned by Pac. Floyd had another "Retire for good" vacation till Margarito had been sabotaged & removed from the scene. then he came slithering back lol

    Come back and tell me about the british and world title straps when benn gets his hands on one
    If your telling me hatton was not carefully guided
    Your a mogadon
    It was telling when Kay's was brought on board
    Tell me more about that
    Hatton was very much like mayweather a money man
    Twenty odd defenses of a wbu title that never had a mandatory
    I'm sorry you feel ricky bottled it form his british counter part as the risk reward level just was not worth it to him
    You know like mayweather shitting it from margarito

    Where is the coveted wbu today
    Oh it's about that green belt lol
    Course it was

    It never ceases to amaze me how hysterical and one-sided people can get on hereon a variety of issues,this one's no different.

    Yeh he probably didn't fancy the Witter fight in terms of the risk reward ràtio and swerved it for other things, and can criticise aspects of his career such as long wbu run, but overall he achieved a lot, put British boxing back into the mainstream again, exciting to watch, fought the best in the US, beat tzsyu. He's not the best ever or perfect but he had a very good career.

    Just weigh up the pros and cons of his career, people seem to be emotionally invested in disliking him to a bizarre extent

    He won legitimate straps off Tszyu you dullard. He was therefore British Champion by extension whether he got that low level strap or not.

    Unequivocally the best three fighters available to Hatton were Pac, Tszyu and Floyd. He fought all three and beat one of them.

    The rest of your trash posts are just smoke and mirrors. Hatton was fantastic.

    And cried about home town ref v floyd lmfao
    Hatton and hometown refs eh
    Wbu 26 defences passing it off as a legit world champ
    That's real smoke and mirrors for ya

    British belt by extension and I'm the Dullard
    Just wait till benn gets a strap
    Canny wait how you pass him off as british by extension

    Dullard, what a great phrase to describe this absolute tool.

    It’s interesting reading his moronic ramblings to other posters after I had some back and forth with the prized plum a couple of pages back on this same thread.

    His hatred of Hatton lives rent free in his bitter head. Doesn’t sound too much fun for the clown and now he’s trying to bring in Connor ped Benn to deflect from his utter drivel talk. Very calculated.

    It’s all a bit odd really. I am sure he thinks I am English too. I’m not and have no skin in the game.

    What’s with the Conor Benn references out of no where then? You are a weirdo and have serious Hatton issues. Go back to sticking pins in your Ricky Hatton doll. All the best.

    On the Simon Jordan interview Hatton says he thought he’d beat Pac until 1.5 weeks before when he thought he had no chance. Didn’t even ask him why! Wanted it out the horses mouth, just scooted on to the next think ****ing joke that!
