Re: How is it that some people still don't believe in Ricky Hatton?
Ricky Hatton's sumo style of fighting is just plain ugly.
But hey, if it keeps working for him... why not continue winning that way?

See I hate that crap. He wasn't exposed before this fight as being shot. He is shot, because Hatton beat the fight out of him. For a fighter to be shot, somebody has to expose him. Can I ask, if Hatton beat Mosley, would you say Mosley was shot? What about Mayweather beating DLH? Are you telling me that was a prime DLH. It's all bollocks. If a good fighter is beaten consistantly, only then can you truly tell if he is shot.
Re: How is it that some people still don't believe in Ricky Hatton?
It's nothing to do with believing and not believing,Hatton is the best at 140 period but I still would favour Margarito/Williams(those 2 especially,because of thier size,strength,energy)Mosley and Cotto over him.

In what way does he always cheat to win?

Hatton needs to be respected for where he is & what he has achieved. Victories over possible future Hall of Famers Tszyu & Castillo shouldn't be taken lightly. But the thing is I see a lot of guys out their who can beat him. Mayweather for one. So giving Hatton credit is one thing, but thinking he's the best current fighter in the world is another!
He didnt just beat 2 future hall of famers he made both of them quit. You say you can see a lot of guys out there who can beat him, well the majority or americans thought castillo would beat him and nearly all the world thought kostya would easily beat him. This thing is with hatton is that he may not look as fluient as some boxers and to have the punch power of others but he still keeps beating opponents and he makes them look so bad that people start to question whether they are shot.
Hatton may not have a style that everyone likes but there is no avoiding the fact that he keeps wiping the floor with these guys. apart from the Urango fight he doenst hold as much as it seems, Watch the fights closely, its just very good/effective inside boxing (with some holding - Im not going to deny that) but to say it is illigal is crap.
hatton has fought in europe, UK and america and he has never had a point deducted for illigal holding so if professional referees throughout the world cannot see in any of his 43 fights that he is doing any illigal holding why is it that some of you think he is?
Because he wins thats what it is
some ppl just dont wanna give credit where its due !!
and like ive said b4 thier will always be something to whinge about

Re: How is it that some people still don't believe in Ricky Hatton?
No, it doesn't mean that Hatton is not liked. It means that people like me like his exciting side but hate his excessive holding side.

That's BS. First of all, Castillo did look well past it in his last fight vs Ngoudjo... Secondly, since when does a fighter need to be exposed beforehand to be deemed past it??? Anyone who knows a bit about boxing could have told you Castillo was way fargone just by watching his legs.. Just like Emanuel Steward was saying right out of the gate. Unless he's an idiot when it comes to boxing as well.. Go ahead and watch Castillo Corrales and then Castillo Hatton back to back. Tell me JLC wasn't SHOT.

That maybe true. But too many people make excuses after fights. The word shot is interesting since we think it is a guy who does not have it anymore and never will. I think alot of factors go into this. A guy who is not comfortable at a certain weight and got spoiled making weight. Making weight is easier when you are younger and willing to train all the time. And his motivation to train goes down. I think if you could put a young mans motivation in the body of Castillo he would still fight well.. Look at Duran or Hearns. They kept fighting for years after they were prime and still fought ok. They had motivation..
