If I have to throw down the gauntlet and defend Ricky Hatton for what he achieved as a boxer, despite his limitations, I'm gonna do it and slap the face of those that smugly retort at how they knew all along he wasn't all that. A loser? Nope, not having that.

You're out of line basically so fuck off.

I know how this is gonna go. Maxy will sober up in the morning and apologize for his language

I feel sort of torn, Hatton was something of a hype job but then at the end of the day can't that be said for most of the fighters in the last 25 years? Even Pacquiao and Mayweather get labelled hype jobs. Hey I even know one loser who built an entire website out of hype, haha.

Ultimately Ricky fought the undisputed champion at 140 pounds and beat him. Made him quit on his stool, which to this day confounds me. That really is his career in a nutshell and he was never the same again.

However that alone is a fine achievement and one he can hang his Hatt(on), boom boom!

I wasn't pissed last night mate so no apologies on my part. I just don't fuckin' get what some people expected of Ricky Hatton. He worked fuckin' hard for a fighter who wasn't blessed with the natural talent of others in the game. He achieved more than most of us ever will. Where does the hype job part come into it? I'm not sure how anybody can call him a hype job. He is what he is and done pretty good.

I really wish Tszyu didn't quit in that fight and that he was able to pull out the victory. For one it would have lengthened his career, but more important it would have derailed Hatton's. That fight pisses me off every time I watch it or think about it.

What the fuck are you talking about? Tszyu was at the end of the road when he lost to Hatton. He'd had a fantastic career and was, prime vs prime, a far better fighter than Hatton. So Hatton lost 3 times by KO? Does that make him crap? You say "And what became of Hatton since then". What do you mean by that?
