    RIP Champ

    Really enjoyed his fights and his sense of humour. Lived how he wanted to and I hope it was peaceful.

    My favourite boxer of the last 30 years. Absolutely saddened this weekend with charlie kirk and now ricky hatton. We need something to change because if depression beats a man with the size of heart ricky had its no joke.

    Thanks for the memories ricky. Rip champ.

    wasn’t meant like that in any way, was a genuine comment. Don’t be a snowflake.

    Most lads are scared of getting called a wuss off their mates.

    I read his book and watched his sky documentary a few years back, he openly said he struggled with mental health, whatever the circumstances to pass at 46, awful.

    The guy took 25k plus away to fight FM don't know of any UK and fans other fighters that also able to do that, stadium fighter UK and very exciting to watch.

    Manchester football derby today, no love for each other on the pitch both sides of Manchester followed him, say's a lot, brilliant fighter.

    Terrible news, RIP Ricky.

    Don’t wanna get into it on this thread but that’s because Britain has a bad working culture.

    You what? One was one of the greatest sportsmen this country ever produced. The other was a man who completely wasted his life spreading hate speech.

    Their names should never be spoken in the same sentence. Shame on you.
