Here we go with Hatton's pish again

[Betty Swollocks]

Ricky Hatton says Saturday's super-fight with Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas is the only kind of bout he wants for the rest of his career.
The pair will contest the fringe IBO light welterweight title and Hatton says he is revelling in the hype.
"If I had wanted I could have stayed as WBU champion and made 30 defences but I wanted to fight the best," he said.
"I only want two or three more years at it and every time I step into the ring I want it to be one of these guys."

The unbeaten Hatton is in determined mood ahead of the eagerly-anticipated bout against the 33-year-old Mexican and is relishing the challenge of taking on one of the sport's big names.
"I've fought Kostya Tszyu and now I'm fighting Castillo, so that's great," he added. "Nobody can look back and say I was over-hyped or over-protected. These are the fights I want now as a matter of course.
"I have really proved so many people wrong. I always dreamed I would fight some of the best fighters in the world and now I am fighting some of the pound-for-pound greatest.

"All I wanted was to get in the ring with the other champions."
For his part, Hatton is delighted to have the respect of a boxing nation which has produced fighters such as Julio Cesar Chavez and Erik Morales.
And he will even have Marco Antonio Barrera carrying his belts into the ring on Saturday.
"For quite a while everybody's been saying I fight like a Mexican and I am really doing it as a mark of respect to the great Mexican fighters," said Hatton
"I think Mexicans admire my style as well as my down-to-earth approach. Apart from the way I fight I think Mexicans are amazed by how honest I am. "In this world where everybody is trying to be a celebrity it is rare to find people humble regardless of their success, and that is why Marco and I hit it off''

Yeah i read that bullshit. Makes me wanna puke..

[brown bomber]

I can't believe he would say something like that no wonder you guys are upset...... :-)

[The Exile]

Hatton was described as fighting like a white mexican years ago so i dont see what the problem with it is now!!

He is friends with Barrera, which is well known!!! Where is the problem with that??

He could have stayed WBU Champ and not left the MEN Whilst making millions, instead he left ****** (which everyone wanted him to do) and done things his way, going to the US and fighting for meaningful belts and probably earning less cash than he could have back home.


Fair play to him i say.

........and the point is????

........and the point is????



Im just saying that a lot of the negative stuff written about Hatton isnt justified.

[jc]

Sorry, what excactly is the problem?

the Haters dont even need an excuse to slag Hatton off now...:patsch

[rooq]

i really don't see whats wrong with those quotes. i take it the bold bits are the ones that offend you most?

i'm afraid you are going to have to spell it out.

are you dissing his level of opposition, his willingness to fight quality opponents and his respect for mexicans? :huh

[Boro chris]

These two have been hateing on Hatton for ages and I'am not sure why. I mean I'am not a huge fan myself but I'am mystified as why they hate him so much. Man U fans perhaps?

.:lol:

[ron u.k.]

i find it amazing that people actually take any notice of what fighters ever say particularily before a big fight.fighters have talked bullshit forever. where have some of these posters been the last 100 years.in sucka's case hatton could speak the most sense you ever want to here but he'd still hate him.the lad has a deep rooted psychological problem as regarding tricky ricky.i believe he has ricky's picture stuck on his dart board.

[unitas]

hatton has a nag for facing top guns that are past their best. like tszyu.

and now castillo, a fighter coming up in weight who last time out had a life and death struggle with an unkown.

hatton will beat a great name..........but will claim he beat a great fighter.

[jc]

Castillo is still top 15 p4p by most...

140 is hardly brimming with talent. Hatton-Castillo is probably the best fight there, stop bitchin'.

no. no man utd fan i know (i'm on of 'em) would be against Hatton because he's supports City.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Sucka or Scurla, can any of you guys give me an honest opinion if Castillo is 'past his best' or 'shot' or if hes still in his prime?

The reason I ask you two is because you cant trust a Hatton fan. They, like Ricky would tell you Castillo is a monster & P4P great right now.

I have argued with you two in the past, thats how I know you guys will give me an honest opinion. Reson I ask, is that I havent seen Castillo fight for a while, so am wondering what hes going to be like come fight time. I see hatton is massive bookies favourite to win, which leaves me wondering just what kind of Castillo is coming to this fight.

[IrnBruMan]

I think there's a certain amount of arrogance in claiming some sort of Mexican affinity, considering his next opponent Castillo is actually a Mexican great.

What's he gonna do next? Come out to the ring on Saturday dressed in a sombrero and Mexican colours like PBF did vs ODLH?

[thunder06]

I agree. I always thought if someone was to fight a scotsman & come to the ring with a kilt on, I would feel pretty angry.

& Guess what, that arrogant piece of shit Guzman was going to come into the ring against Harrison with a kilt on:-(

So when I seen Hatton calling himself a 'manchester mexican' I immediately thought that was so disrespectful to Castillo, & mexicans in general. Hatton is so arrogant, it defies belief. & for those hatton fans who defend his actions? Think before you reply this time.

[Loggo]

I think esp with the yanks ,they hate Ricky Hatton cos he doesn`t quite fit the criteria of a world champ fighter.One thing i think is cos he`s British,being white and at the level he is,so slag him off as a pub fighter.When for instance Floyd Mayweather with all his great skills was never really a coming forward bang bang type,he liked to dance around the ring a bit.Hatton likes to hold quite a lot admittedly,but he is the agressor come forward type and wants it toe to toe.So in comparison Hattons not a bad fighter.

[rooq]

hatton is so arrogant it defies belief?

thats pretty arrogant then. he doesn't seem it. its not like he came up with the Manchester Mexican thing himself. The Guzman kilt scenario is different unless a load of scottish people publically announced they thought Guzman fought like a Scot.

Hatton haters on here seem to have a much more extreme opinion than Hatton fans. I haven't seen one post on here (although I might have missed it) who thinks Castillo is a monster and P4P great.

I personally think Castillo is a good fighter, not shot but still past his best. And given other active fighters around at the moment, he probably would just about make my p4p top ten or fifteen.

Be realistic.

I see hatton is massive bookies favourite to win, which leaves me wondering just what kind of Castillo is coming to this fight.Castillo isnt shot by any means but his certainly far from his best.The guy has had at least 60 plus fights and turned pro around the age of 15.His a battle hardened vet who has been in many a war with many a quality opponent. His not close to being a "great" mexican fighter and nor is he a P4P great.Thats just more Ricky Hatton bilge.I dont really care for this match as in the grand scheme of things at 140 it means nothing. Ricky should be looking north to 47 or looking to unify ALL belts at 140.His done neither so far.

You miserble cunts can't even enjoy a fight that promises to be a proper toe to toer - already covering all angles to say 'he was shit' or 'he was shot' - simple internet journo/generals/know nish muppets.

Who the fuck do some of you on here think you are? Watch the fight - try to enjoy it through your black painted glasses and comment on it as you see fit - but stop fukkin whingeing - PLEASE :patsch :patsch

You take the guy way too seriously dunky.... but its you and the other Hatton haters loss because while your (collectively) busy pulling the guy up on everything he says and does- we are looking forward to whats sure to be a decent fight between the 2 most proven fighters operating at 140. I can't convince you not to dislike Hatton but your un******ted critisms just ruin it for yourselves and as far as the grand scheme of things at 140 are concerned Hatton is the undisputed number one regardless of who's got which piece of shite strapped around there waist- therefore we are watching the division number one take on the former lightweight number one so its pretty significant in my eyes..... but then I am only a Hatton fan so I probably know nothing about boxing.

Well if a lot of Hatton's fans are new to the game then so be it, everyone has a boxer who got them into the sport as im sure you have aswell.

Personally i watched my 1st ever fight in 1985 and was instantly hooked, if Hatton has had that effect on a lot of fans then surely that is a good thing?

I think most of his fans even recognise he is flawed technically but he is good to watch and explains why he has such a large following.

[ron u.k.]

well i've said before if hatton was scottish the scottish boys would be singing his praises,instead quite a few of them praise alex arthur!now i think this is basically a 50/50 fight it would not surprise me at all if hatton come unstuck although i suspect he will scrape through.

Ron Ron Ron... You dont understand, Much to my dismay mate, scottish fight fans LOVE Hatton. You look at the forums, all the scottish fans except me & Sucka rate him highly, & many are full blooded Hatton fans. In fact, one of my closest allies on here, young MIK1000 is a mad hatton fan, & so is his father. I havent disowned him for it, but please, dont think cos me & Sucka dont like Hatton that we represent the general scottish opinion, far from it.

Man, I have been at some Harrison fights in the past in Scotland, & there are many conversations I heard about Hatton, & every cunt seemed to love him, much to my dismay.

I hate Hatton, Sucka hates Hatton, but we are hardly the official voice of scottish boxing. Trust me mate, Hatton is adored north of the border.

In fact, ask most scottish posters if they like Hatton & they will say yes. I should know, cos I have been trying to get them to hate him like I do for years, without success...

Why hate Hatton so much? Is because the hype?

I might start a thread about this question though.

[Strike]

You hate him for a load of things that you imagine to be the case even though people who have met him and know where he lives and where he goes out etc tell you that you are mistaken in thinking it is all a false "one of the lads" act.

Actions speak louder than words, and you cannot escape the cold facts that he lives where he does, that he took his friends from years back on holiday and that he is still a regular in his local pub.
Nor can you change the fact that all of your "it is an act" stuff is based on nothing but promotional interviews for his fights where he talks in the third person. You don't have even one anecdotal claim of him being arrogant or aloof towards a member of the public.

[Dunky McCafferty]

well as for hatton being one of the lads.about 3 or 4 months ago he came to a talk in in sunderland which was packed to the rafters.before he spoke he sat on the top table and scores of lads and lasses came up to him including my son and his mate and asked if they could take pictures of him on their mobiles,he responded yes no bother.for the next i don't know how many minutes he sat there relaxed and let a consant procession of people come past him and take photos no problem.this was a thing at an earlier function sugar ray leonard didn't let happen.after that hatton got up and did his talk and for an hour or so without notes he captivated the audience with his anecdotes about his career and the fight game and in all this he was very self effacing.at the end of the night he sat in a side room and let a constant procession of about 200 people come past him and have official photo's took of him and that particular person,without ever showing any signs of a "big time charlie" routine he was patience personified.all he did was live up to his reputation of being "one of the lads".he was a credit to himself,his family,and the fight game.now i don't know wether ricky hatton is going to win tonight,but win or lose as far as this poster is concerned he is one of the most genuine young men ever to lace on a pair of boxing gloves.i'm proud he's a brit.

What's your problem? He's is not an ATG or anywhere near one..... When people look back to this era of boxing they will not say Castillo was one of THE elite fighters because he somply hasn't done enough to warrant that accolade. He is an excellent little fighter who has been consistantly world class for several years and Hattons victory was an impressive one but there are plenty of active fighters from mexicos past and present that have and will go on to achieve more..... For Castillo to be considered an ATG he would still have to do something else in his career.

i have to say that was the last straw i gave Hatton with his shit style yet he somehow looked shit again.
what i want to know is what happened to the Hatton that faced Vince Phillips or Magee did he run away or something.

Joe Calzaghe is far better than Hatton in every way style,power and exciting yet Hatton huggers think he is god. i gave Hatton one last chance in this fight and even Emanuel Steward was like Hatton's style is shit and coming from him that says it all.

Ricky Hatton says Saturday's super-fight with Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas is the only kind of bout he wants for the rest of his career.
The pair will contest the fringe IBO light welterweight title and Hatton says he is revelling in the hype.
"If I had wanted I could have stayed as WBU champion and made 30 defences but I wanted to fight the best," he said.
"I only want two or three more years at it and every time I step into the ring I want it to be one of these guys."

The unbeaten Hatton is in determined mood ahead of the eagerly-anticipated bout against the 33-year-old Mexican and is relishing the challenge of taking on one of the sport's big names.
"I've fought Kostya Tszyu and now I'm fighting Castillo, so that's great," he added. "Nobody can look back and say I was over-hyped or over-protected. These are the fights I want now as a matter of course.
"I have really proved so many people wrong. I always dreamed I would fight some of the best fighters in the world and now I am fighting some of the pound-for-pound greatest.

"All I wanted was to get in the ring with the other champions."
For his part, Hatton is delighted to have the respect of a boxing nation which has produced fighters such as Julio Cesar Chavez and Erik Morales.
And he will even have Marco Antonio Barrera carrying his belts into the ring on Saturday.
"For quite a while everybody's been saying I fight like a Mexican and I am really doing it as a mark of respect to the great Mexican fighters," said Hatton
"I think Mexicans admire my style as well as my down-to-earth approach. Apart from the way I fight I think Mexicans are amazed by how honest I am. "In this world where everybody is trying to be a celebrity it is rare to find people humble regardless of their success, and that is why Marco and I hit it off''
