    I cant understand why ricky hatton is constantly, refered to as someone who couldnt box or is a mediocre fighter, what is this all about, he is one of the best british fighters of all time, who was only ever beaten by argubally two of the greatest fighters of all time and no one else, he's also a top guy out of the ring so whats with all the hate? redone this thread here instead of lounge cant get 2 grips with what to post where arghhhhhhhh

  3. That speaks to the dearth of British boxing talent more than anything.

    What's new. Once you're undefeated, you are the best thing. But once you're beaten, you are just one of the hyped up ones. You'll see come May 1st, the fraud will be exposed, and he'll just be regarded as one of the good boxers, but not one of the greats.

    It's more fun for most folk on here to slag fighters off and only focus on their weaknesses rather than look at them positively.

    Haye - glass jaw
    Manny - steriods
    Khan - glass jaw
    Mayweather - only fights small guys

    etc...

    Say this out loud:

    "Some dude disrespected a boxer in the Internet"

    You should be over it by now. Go have sex with your wife.

    Truth is, its because he lost to Floyd. Before the fight with Floyd Hatton was no only respected by he was vastly overrated by many. Once he lost to Floyd he became a bum.
