Fighters we love to hate no matter how good they are...

He's not exciting?ok,well lets look at his 6 fights

Castillo....both stood in front of each other and traded,hatton then knocks him out wit a body shot
Urango-boring fight
Collazo-while he did too much holding it was still a good fight
Maussa-non stop attacking from ricky wit one of the best knockout punches of the last few years
Tsyzu-Hatton non stop attacking
Olivera-Hatton beating him up with vicious body and head attack,stops him in ten,olivera on the floor twice
Mike Stewart-Knocked him down 3 times,And great finish.
As well as exciting early fights,so how is Hatton not exciting?

He holds too much,its the same complaint people have had about Hopkins all through his career
And last I checked Hopkins is from Philadelphia,which just happens to be in the US

In the correct order:

1st) Paulie Malignaggi- Stupid haircut, no power whatsoever, who has he beat??, arrogant loud mouthed twat.

2nd) Joe Calzaghe- Stay at home boy, waste of British talent, fought 1 great opponent in 44 fights.

I'd say Jack Johnson was pretty hated back in the day, probably because he was so good{and Black ::**}

Ricky is exciting,apart from the Urango fight...
If u dont think he's exciting then u either hate Hatton or dont know wat your looking at...

Heres a hint,most casual boxing fans dont know what theyre looking at.
Im a huge Hopkins fan,but until recent years he was considered a dull fighter as well
I like Hatton,but he isnt exactly Vinnie Paz,and Im hoping he shuts Floyd's yap
What is it with British fight fans and their persecution complex?

Well im Irish first of all,not British,maybe its because anytime a brit is involved in a big fight wit an american then he's the undedog or given no chance by American fight fans or Journalists..


Hatton vs Mayweather..
Calzaghe vs Lacy.. are a couple of mentions

Im neutral but even i can c the anti britishness...

And Hopkins is just plain boring,Usually wins on points in dull fights...
Ricky is exciting to watch,come on,watch his fights,u kno he is..

Oh do please,anybody with half a clue would have thought Lacy was the underdog in that fight,anybody who didnt was clueless
Mayweather is the fave because he's Mayweather,I dont like the guy one iota,because he's a yapping little puppy,but he's talented and a known entity
Tito was a massive fave against Hopkins,,a bigger fave then Mayweather is by far,was it because of the Anti-US bias of US writers?

Well Lacy was the betting fav,and all the American Magazines and websites had him as the fav..
I dont hav a problem wit Floyd being the fav and rightly so he should,wat i hav a problem with is the fact that Ricky is given no chance and it being said it will be like the Gatti fight....

Trust me,nothing would make me happier then to see Floyd lying on his back,I just dont see it happening.
I think he moves to well for Ricky to get to him,same as the Manfredy fight.
And I desperatly wanted Angel to win that fight,Im a huge Manfredy fan,but I see the fight going the same way that one did.
Id happily be wrong about it though

If floyd loses i cant wait to c how he will respond after the fight to Larry Merchant....

Hopkins is da man

Yeh its a pity the man is afraid of Joe Calzaghe

Im kind of curious to see what kind of PPV numbers this fight does.
Mayweather isnt nearly the commodity he thinks he is because of his run for the hills style,and Hattons not big bank because he isnt very well known and is a hold and hit guy,not to mention theyre going to be charging a small fortune for it

Not even a little bit,your buying the Frank Warren party line
They did this type of trash talk to get Jones to travel to Wales and fight on the cheap as well.
You want Hopkins,you fight him on his terms
You dont like his terms,tough,he isnt going to kowtow to any promoter,and if he can stick it up Don Kings jumper,Warren has no shot of getting his way.

Well he turned millions down to fight him 5 years ago...
And now his trainer is saying that b hop should fight the winner of roy and tito

So he should fight either a guy he beat easy years ago that is semi retired or a guy that is shot that has been knocked out twice in the last few years...

Calzaghe is quicker,younger,throws more punches..
b hop would lose and he knows it..
