    Boring I could take.

    For me its more the fact that he has a 34-4 slate, when in reality if he hadn't have had ricky for a brother his numbers would have dipped after about 10 or so fights (taking into account the normal rise in competition) and he would have turned into in essence what he really is, a sub-par journeyman; someone who should be a stepping stone fight for an up-and-coming young boxer aiming for a tilt at the British title.

    Instead, by piggybacking off Ricky's carrer he's carved out this bogus career for himself. I mean his numbers are comparable to guys like Rafael Marquez (37-5), but he's been fighting **** opponents his whole career, and the losses are embarrasing for someone with that ledger. If you seen a guy with a 34-4 record, you would think he had mixed in world class but come up short at the top level; someone who would be like the gatekeeper in a division, ranking 9th or 10th.

    But to hell with it; he's just deluding himself if he thinks that record is a true reflection of his achievement. An absolute waste of space.

    Cant believe they`ve had the audacity to put this rubbish on PPV. Anyone who buys it needs there head testing.

    Nah I will not be buying. I would like to have seen the prizefighter but the poor line up is disapointing. Hatton vs Malinfaggi is a joke for ppv.

    Yeah we'll be buying it, only because there will be about 10 of us and we'll have a few bets on prizefighter aswell. If I was on my own though then no ****ing way.

    Same here. The prizefighter line up is pretty poor and Hatton undercard isn't all that, only Kirkland-Vera is a decent match up.

    Nor me. Sky take the **** because of Hattons predominantly dumb footie style following. Screw the lot of them.

    I pumped sleeping gas through the air vents and into the basement. When I was sure you were out cold I snuck down and removed the emoticons from your computer.

    Now I have them all:lol:

    You do know who's been training Ricky Hatton recently, don't you?
