Why do people slate hatton?

Question

just because ricky hatton lost to mayweather doesnt make him a bum like people try to make out hatton was fighting up in weight against the p4p best and a biased ref and is still the man at 140 so why dont you give him some respect. i personally would like to see a rematch im not saying ricky would win but i think hed have a fair chance as i think you would see a different ricky than befor

Answer 1

Ricky Hatton is a great fighter, and his inside fighting is an art the angles he creates with fast footwork is brilliant, beating Kosta Tyszu, then Mausa, moving up and beating a fast southpaw in Collazo going back down and winning title again... and Micheal G reckons Hatton is not that talented or skilled ?? hes an idiot !! Micheal G is the fool who says Mosley has a weak chin, and Mosley has never been stopped - work that one out. Hatton is a great fighter people will say differant once he stops Paulie then Pacquiao at end of year

Answer 2

boxing fans respect hatton the general public are the ones who think he is a bum he is a tough guy who has accomplished alot i agree with the above comment about mayweather no one likes that cocky guy if he could have s*x with hisself he would

Answer 3

Ricky hatton is quality!!! They all respect him cos no one respects Mayweather. Even his own parents hate Mayweather

PS - James youre a moron for giving me the thumbs down!!

Answer 4

The biased ref excuse is a big one for me.  Because that was the first time Hatton ever fought in a properly reffed fight, we're getting all kinds of excuses.

Answer 5

the tszyu  fight was so unfair....dirty tactics ruled that fight...i hate hatton and will smash that little imp.

Answer 6

My problem with Ricky Hatton is the tactics he uses in the ring the blatant low blows against Tszyu watch the Mayweather fight again and count hhow many times he punches Floyd in the back of the head.  And I still to this day have never seen a Hatton fight where he doesn't hold and hit.  Most people looked at Hatton v. Mayweather as good guy vs. bad guy, I looked at it as Guy who stays in shape all year vs. Guy who who trains only for fights.

All that being said, I think Hatton is a quality person, he is funny and friendly and humble.  I just don't like his style of fighting, and violation of the rules.

Answer 7

i don;t know mate i mean i find it hard to call ricky a terrible or c**p boxer i mean...can any of us do better?? have WE beaten tszyu or mausa?? no but isuppose it's our opinions. Ricky isn't a B-class fighter in my opinion..he's beaten some of the best in the world but because he hasn't beaten thee best i would call him a great champion but he still is a good boxer and a champion. =]

Answer 8

Looking forward to seeing more of Hatton. Who knows maybe Mayweather will give him a rematch.

Answer 9

Think people slate hatton because he is way too over-hyped , even before his loss to mayweather. Ricky Hatton is a B class fighter at best and that is being generous. I give him some respect but no i dont wanna see a rematch with floyd he will get beat again this time maybe even worse. The ref did a good job i thought in the fight with mayweather. Ricky has been getting away with murder his whole carear .. all that grabbing /smothering and clinching he does technicaly isnt even legal. The ref should be breaking it up everytime Ricky does that he does it so excessivly too 4-5 times a round every round. Thats why I personly dont care for Ricky much he is not  all that talented/skillful. I give him credit for his heart that he has a lot of but thats about all he has and a some decent punching power. Most of the time i find his fights boring with all that holding and smothering constantly thats not boxing........Oh yeah Francis get your facts straight obivosuly your a hatton fan so my comments bothered you but just for the record i never said mosely had a weak chin , i never even said 1 thing negative about  mosely .. he is one of my favorite fighters ... moron go hype up your boy hatton some more.
