Great Hatton quote..

"I've already achieved way beyond my wildest dreams. If somebody told me when I was 14, 15 that I'd compete at the world championships, become ABA champion, (become) undefeated British champion, win four world titles, (become) two-weight world champion, fight at Madison Square Garden, headline a bill in America... I'd have said they were bloody barmy! I'm living the dream, I'm just a regular guy at the end of the day."

yeh hattons great. what a nice bloke

I like Hatton... but if they lay this 'Bloke from the street' shite on any thicker then I think I will be sick.

He is, though. A few years ago he was mingling with the other Man City fans at a few away games!

All boxers are "men from the street". Do they think that fighters grow up in privelaged upper class families, have first class honours degrees, work as part time rocket scientists etc etc

I agree all boxers are 'men from the streets' but not once they are in the big time they change!!!!

Every picture was him eating bangers and mash and baked beans or something... ;)

Why not! we have a rental businesss over here in Spain and we look after some of his mates and relatives and they do not have a bed word to say about him. i wanted them to get me an autograph and he gave me one of his programes of tyson fight in the uk with the tickets and signed them all he did not need to do that did he. i know they maybe a bit bias but everyone can;t be wong.

I like him, seems a nice bloke... it's his promotional team really... ;)

I know i think so too, we look after and pick his sons grandparents from the airport and they cannot speak enough of how good he is with Campbel and that the whole family are just great to work with. So i guess you only speak as you find.

can't wait to see his next fight.
