The annoying thing about this for me is that I genuinely thought that the one silver lining about Hatton retiring would be that this board could get on with discussing boxing instead of people wasting time attacking/ defending every little quote or action of Hattons but it just hasn't happened and this place has just turned into a very negative, whinging place to hang out for the last few days and unforetuneatly it doesn't show any signs of abating.
You reap what you sow. You can't expect people not to have their say after all the crap Ray + Ricky come out with.
What the **** have I sown Joe? Most of its just people faking disgust or outrage, the same petty shite day after day. I can't believe grown men, who are supposed to be boxing fans, can spend so much time tutting over the same ridiculous little issues.
Fair enough, but does banging on and on incesstantly in an Internet forum somehow punish the Hattons for these, lets be honest, trivial "crimes"?
As much as I admire your optimism, theres 5 years of evidence that suggests otherwise... We have a multitude of "Hatton is an arrogant promoter" threads to look forward to.
that's about the strength of it. TTFP mentioned his mum seemed alright......but remember after the Mayweather fight, she did a big article on meeting Brad Pitt, Jolie etc and was being ****ing bitchy...slagging their appearance close-up etc.....maybe it was a failed attempt at being funny but she came across as an unpleasant individual. They say birds of a feather flock together and it'll be no coincidence she married a clown like Ray Hatton.
You live in a Fantasy world at times TFFP. Check out the pre-fight poll... You're not on the Betty/Scurla/dwilson level of ridiculousness admittedly. By a long chalk. I'm not interested in what they say any more, total waste of time. It is boring the pants off me now. It's reducing the board to a cartoon. Unfortunately they always have the oxygen of new members who will take their bait until they realise what a set of clowns they are. Oh and to answer the thread... one word. Scottish.
Betty does a fantastic job. For a poster to get such universal outrange consistently...grade A wind up.
:| what a cop-out. Haye, Witter and Froch are 3 of my very favourite fighters...all English. My mother is English and so are a number of my good friends. I lived in England for 8 years. I would also venture to say I'm more worldly and less patriotic than 99% of this board. Difference is all of the above are sound while Hatton is a wee toad....deal with that. Some of us have brought an element of perspective to the Hatton charade, and we've been far better informed and educated on the subject matter than the huggers ever were.
onourway, SleazeNation, GazOC, TKO, trotter the list goes on and on. Not to mention the many that favour him slightly for being British.
