I detest Ricky more and more by the day. First his "I don't think anybody can accuse me of ducking" and now this little chestnut :-(
Depends if Joe is still a ***** :| All I know is I'd be glad to see Hatton KTFO. I used to like him, but his bull**** has pushed me over the edge. That and his fanboys are obtuse ****ers that can't see the woods for the trees
Nah to be honest I feel a sense of relief now that the fight is over. I hope Hopkins retires now because that will mean I have no attachment to any fighter. The only other was Lewis. I just hope Joe fights Pavlik & not Jones. Yup totally fed up with Hatton, I'll be cheering for Lazcano & if he can't do the business then Paulie.
I'd rather he was KTFO by Witter, for maximum comic effect, and to rub it in the noses of these deluded Hatton fans that see him as an insignificant spec on the radar. Not going to happen anytime soon though... Doubt Malifaggi and certainly not Lazcano have any chance
I will looove it if Lazano beats bacon boy, but word is that Lazcano is putting in half assed effort in preperation for this fight, it sounds like he's doing if for cash and is not really up for the fight. Sound familiar? Hatton puts Shane Warne to shame when it comes to spin. I can't believe he has the nerve tp ,make out the normal start time is a gift to his fans and he's doing himself outta money by doing that, lying about the fact that HBO and Shwotime had no interest in the first place. I think the whole thing is disgraceful. Thankfully educated boxing fans see through all this.
I suppose he needs to try to big up his fight against Lazcano somehow. It's not easy because Lazcano hasn't fought in a year and a half when he was beaten by a guy Witter knocked out quite comfortably.
If you're trying to come across as hardcore and knowledgeable its "cool" to hate Hatton. I can understand people disliking him or his style but the level of hate is ridiculous and out of all proportion to his actions or words.
keep telling yourself that mate. why do you think it's bacon boy and not someone like Haye or Calzaghe getting all the stick? if you really believe what you write then you're as delusional as Hatton himself.
You have a (convieniently) short memory Betty, Calzaghe was getting all the stick on here before Hatton came along. Its just the nature of internet forums, just check the number of anti-Hatton posts that claim to know what 'real' or 'knowledgeable' boxings fans think of Hatton. I'm not delusional, I know this fight is what it is, a pretty poor confidence builder after a big loss. Hattons just trying to promote it. Its the level of hate thats bemusing over something thats been a standard practice in boxing for years. If Hatton donated a kidney some of the people around here would say it was a publicity stunt.
