Why do you hate Hatton?

[Mohak]

I don't know what's with all this Hatton hating. So explain why

[Mohak]

Come on! Anyone?

[China_hand_Joe]

Because the extent of his wit is using words such as "fuck" at press conferences.

He has a poor singing voice.

He tries to put a positive spin on being working class.

Nothing wrong with being working class.

Ricky Hatton, the Man City fan - has asked Wayne Rooney, a Man Utd player to carry the belt to the ring.

Ricky Hatton, the Man City fan - has asked Wayne Rooney, a Man Utd fan to carry the belt to the ring.

Are you having a laugh? He might play for them and they pay his wages but what makes you think he supports them? When he's retired who do you think he'll follow?

Ricky Hatton, the boxer - has asked Wayne Rooney, of good boxing stock ("Bob" Fitzsimmons can be found on his family tree) to carry the belt into the ring.

There you have it guys.... they can provide no reason.

I'm not degenerative

[GazOC]

I'm not degenerative

I used to be....I've hit rock bottom now though!:nut;)

[The Jackal]

i like him and think he has got the most devastating nut shot in world boxing today castillo will be shooting blanks after hatton starts punishing the ball bag.

[The Jackal]

nothing wrong with his body shots either.
castillo might not be shooting blanks but he'll be pissing blood for a good few days.

[hellblazer]

hate is such a strong word....we don't hate him, we don't like him lol
maybe because of his fighting style et al.

but i give him credit for his win over kostya tzsyu.

[Nemesis]

Hopefully not Everton, we dont want the fat cunt

[hellblazer]

congratz Ricky Hatton!!

[stake501]

Hattons brother is a red also. Should hatton disown him, to keep some of his fans

[faisal]

i dont like hatton he may be a good fighter but i can see an ugly side to his charachter that alot of people cant.

[dr greenthumb]

whats china hands problem with the workin class we do actually make up about 80 percent of britains population

[brown_bomber]

hattons a great fighter after the kostya fight he was expected to take bigger fights but he didn't but now he is :D

[Nemesis]

Because the extent of his wit is using words such as "fuck" at press conferences.

He has a poor singing voice.

what a complete prick you are :good

[Tony Harrison]

i dont like hatton he may be a good fighter but i can see an ugly side to his charachter that alot of people cant.

What the fuck are you talking about?

[brown bomber]

i dont like hatton he may be a good fighter but i can see an ugly side to his charachter that alot of people cant. That same special psyhic power that Amsterdam has for khan..... maybe you and him should get together- you'd make a shitload of money. You could interview possible boyfriends for rich mummy and daddys daughters. Or you could get a job in the police, FBI or something.

[faisal]

i find the comparison hysterical, never mentioned ricky being china chinned, i consider him to be 1 of the best P4Ps in the world, im just not impressed by his charachter.

[brown bomber]

i find the comparison hysterical, never mentioned ricky being china chinned, i consider him to be 1 of the best P4Ps in the world, im just not impressed by his charachter. Amsterdam also questions Khans character all the time...... whats wrong with his character give us some examples and how YOU would have dealt with the particular situation your referring to.

[Boro chris]

They are a bunch of degenerative alcoholics.


Hey fucktard!! Im a degenerative alcoholic and Im MIDDLE class!!:fire
Get your facts right!!:lol:

[China_hand_Joe]

It should be noted I am a working class, degenerative alcoholic (amongst other things) and Hatton is my second favorite (British) fighter of all time.

yes, hatton fights awful!

[Dunky McCafferty]

Its obvious by this thread that the hatton fans are so many that people who dont like/rate Hatton are scared to say so, for fear of being attacked by the Hatton hordes.

Not me though:D

Now I have been open & honest about my reasons for disliking Hatton from day one.

But hey, after watching last nights Setanta build up, I found even more reason to hate on Hatton.

Wayne McCullough is talking about Ricky, & Ricky walks over & spits water over Waynes head. Utterly disrespectful. If some cunt spat water on me, I would punch them in the jaw. Thats not being funny, thats just being plain disrespectful. Wayne looked shocked & humiliated, & then just sheepishly laughed.

Then later on, it shows some guy after hattons fight with Urango, there were women in the background & while the guy was on his knees hatton poured bottle of water over his head. Once again the guy sheepishly laughed, but if hatton was a nice guy, he wouldnt have humiliated the guy like that in front of women.

Ricky Hatton is just a little git, & its about time he picked on someone his own age & size.

Not much chance of that happening though;)

[BoppaZoo]

can anyone say his F_ING style.

it reminds me of what Jim Braddock got his license revoked for. yet the USA's hands are tied because if they ban this guy for his shit style they will have 5 million Hatton nuthuggers with bad teeth on there door step asking why Hatton has been banned.

Ricky Hatton makes John Ruiz look like Roy Jones jr.

My reasons are simple why i dont like Hatton his style. its like watching curling. no i would prefer curling.
Max Kellerman and Emanuel Steward were right about his style its shit.

[Sai]

I honestly dont think his style is as bad as people make out. He was definitely guilty of excessive holding against Urango and Collazo, but they were both pretty awkward southpaw guys and he was still finding his feet at 147.

In the Castillo fight, he wasnt honestly holding all that much. I reckon they were about even in terms of who was initiating the clinches.

He definitely does hold a bit, but I wouldnt say excessively. He really just uses it as a method of getting inside and using his strength as a weapon. He really does have short arms for the weight, so itd be next to impossible for him to work his way inside off a jab like a lot of other guys can.

I can see how people can be critical of his style, but honestly its not as bad as people tend to make out.

Yes, if Hatton keeps fighting that way he can have his license revoked, and if it happens, I wouldnt be that surprised.

You don't fool me Dunky!! ;) I bet you were up at 3 in the morning secretly cheering Ricky on to victory. Did you like the sky blue Man City sombero? :hey

[Max Molyneux]

I like all British fighters who do well on the world scene.

Only problem I have with Hatton Is he's contradicting at times.

Its a JOKE. Get a fuckin' grip....

[PowerPuncher]

Why I'm not a Hatton fan.....

I think Ricky Hatton is a bully that targets opponents he knows he can beat and avoids tough challenges like Mayweather/Cotto/Witter.

Hatton has completely disrespected British boxing by ducking Witter from 2000-2007, its disgraceful

Hes a CHEAT! Against Tyszu he throw a horrible low blow, and he could have been DQ'ed in that fight. Against Castillo he got hit on the beltline (the ref said it was okay) and pretended he had been low blowed. Thats not to mention any of his huggy bear routines.

The fact he plays on being a man of the people while expecting everyone to shell out a load of money to help him make another few million against another stiff is a bit of joke.

Good fighter, not great, still doesn't want to fight a top fighter in their prime. Goto admit his Castillo performance was excellent but Castillo was past it and unproven at 140

[Beatboxer]

Hatton to me has always seemed a classy humble guy and contrary to what many people on this site seem to think i actually enjoy most of his fights

ok the Urango bout was a bit of a bore and he did employ some roughman tactics against zoo

but from the moment i saw him on the tyson francis undercard back in 2000 i took a liking to him for his no nonsense approach and at his peak he is the definition of whirlwind of fury throwing punch after punch always marching forward

personality wise theres not much wrong except the third person thing grates a little

[PowerPuncher]

aah, thankyou Beatboxer my scottish buddy:good

Reason I am thanking you is a few of the english lads seem to think cos I hate Ricky, tht all scottish boxing fans hate Ricky. But I told 'em they couldnt be further from the truth. Scottish fight fans in the main adore Hatton, & thats the only thing that honestly upsets me, as I dont want people to think cos I hate Hatton that Scotland has a problem with him. That would defeat the purpose, cos I dont want the forum to go down that route where all the Hatton fans hate all things scottish just cos of one big mouthed poster(me:D ) who has a personal dislike for one fighter, HATTON. & all the other jocks have to get involved in petty slanging matches. Everyone thinks Im on a mission to be the next William Wallace, but thats not true;)

Im not THAT petty! Thats how I am happy you came along & said what you just did. Its good that the scots lads can get behind english fighters. I just wish some more of the englanders would get behind our boys, but life aint that simple.

Sorry to have to drag you into something thats nothing to do with you young fella, but I hd to use your post to prove a point.

yes, Hatton is a cheat.

[UndisputedUK]

Because there is a guy in Sheffield who once held British, Commonwealth and European titles at 140lbs and now holds the WBC belt that Hatton doesn't want to fight.

1. Do people want Hatton to fight Americans?

2. Get badly beaten by De La Hoya or Mayweather?

3. Fight Junior Witter in the UK for the WBC and ring belts on ITV?

:yep

[Losfer_Words]

I don't. I actually think the criticism he gets is unfair.

I used to be....I've hit rock bottom now though!:nut;)

Did you make your way back up again, Gaz?

[ishy]

:lol: Why bump this 3 year old thread?

[Losfer_Words]

Why not? I wondered if Hatton was always disliked on this forum and it seems he actually was:-(.

[ishy]

Back when I joined Hatton and Calzaghe used to get a lot of hate.

It's calmed down since they've retired/become inactive.

[GazOC]

If the search function was better on here these days I'd find the "most hated" and "most liked" poll threads that someone started a couple of years back.

Hatton was one of the "most liked" boxers and didn't get that many votes in the "most hated" either.

A vocal minority will always hate the most popular boxers, its not always a good indication of the forum in general.

[HitmanHatton]

Back when I joined Hatton and Calzaghe used to get a lot of hate.

It's calmed down since they've stopped being successful.

Edited for accuracy. :hey:good

[Losfer_Words]

Because it's been overtaken with your racism, Ishy, lad. One form of hate being taken over by another is never a good thing. There's some really interesting threads from a few years ago way back as well. Don't want to bump them all as people will get pissy, but you'll have to take my word for it:lol:. Anyway, this thread has been stuck on the last page for over 3 years, so why not change the scenery? Loads of Stegsie's threads are back there with 0 replies as well. It's like a time machine, man. I also thought that the Brit forum was a lot older than just over 3 years as well.

Yes, it is dodgy as fuck when people do this.

Reading posts so old they feel like they belong to someone else.

Messes with me.

[GazOC]

In any case Haye (who around this time was being held up as an example of how Hatton and Calzaghe should run their careers) is getting it these days!!!

I bet Ronnie Heffron can't wait....

[China_hand_Joe]

The hate for Calzaghe and Hatton has indeed faded big time.

They are just washed up, middle-aged men (or perhaps even older in Hatton's) now.

Hate has turned to pity for these millionaire party animals.

I like Hatton, am/have been a fan of him, don't mind his style of fighting and have no problem saying it.

[avidlemon]

I don't.

the man of the people act is hard to take to sometimes, but what he is trying to achieve now is to be admired.

[Bad Dog]

I don't hate him at all but the way he plays up the working class hero pisses me off. He constantly goes on about being one of the lads and growing up on a council estate which is a load of bollocks. He grew up in a lovely sweet pub on the outskirts of Manchester. His Dad owned a chain of 5 pubs. He should just admit he was middle class growing up, nothing to be ashamed off.

Hatton would command more respect if he was a yank.

[scurlaruntings]

Hatton would command more respect if he was a yank.Thats rubbish. Naz had great cross over appeal. So did Lennox Lewis. The reason why Hatton is met with derision is because he made a career of beating up tin cans and when he was faced with the best at his weight he was made to look like an amatuer.

If Hatton wanted to make a career of the WBU he should have kept his mouth shut instead of feeding his fans a bullshit PR image. In the end even Hatton started to believe his own hype.
