I'm British and I hate Ricky Hatton!! I think it's mainly his fans who think the man is unbeatable that caused the hatred.
1- Not just Americans dislike Hatton
2- It is not as if Hatton is some under appreciated fighter that gets no credit for his accomplishments
3- Stop the hit twice then hold bullshit and then he will not be criticized....
I think he gets just a smuch hate as every other fighter. Once a fighter gets really popular he is bound to have his detractors.

Like booing our national anthem when you where here? Or the fans in Vegas being completely drunken (I was guilty too) and obnoxious??
How about the millions generated by Hattons fans spending in LasVegas?
Americans are insanely nationlistic, yet most hate Bill O`Riely and vote Democrat. Just doesnt make sence, booing anthems are common place here and we take pride in it, just as the American did booing the Canadian anthem in zat hockey game.
Most hate Bill O'Reilly because he is a moron. Similar to why I don't like people that boo national anthems, it is moronic.
It is quadruply moronic when your man is up against three American judges and an American ref.Quote:

I think another reason Americans don't like Hatton is because on forums like this one the board gets oversaturated with threads about him even when he has nothing going on.Quote:

Maybe, i still see more Oscar.
Hatton is just a lovable guy but i admit his fans can turn you against a fighter and Hattons personna leads to him having a kind of cult following a kind of worshiping thing. Mind you its the same for upncoming power punchers they also have a dedicated sect.
I believe that a possible main driver for this perception can the nationalism that we have been speaking in one of the posts. And, there is noting wrong with that as long as we keep the respect for each other.
The fans bug some people, the style, etc.
And I thought we outlawed talking badly about Zab :confused: Zab is a true warrior and a gentleman, a poet actually.
I like hatton......
I don't think American's hate Hatton, why would anybody HATE a down to earth warrior like Hatton.
