Saddoboxing World exclusive...... Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton interview

mine are more so advice than questions:

1)Please have him promise to fight PBF ASAP! From what I read the soonest they'll fight will be at the END of 07!!!!!!!! not even in the beginning but the END?????? damn mine as well push it back to 08 at that rate.
2) If he must have keep busy or tune ups have them with opponents we give a F about such as: Cotto, Tony, etc. Gatti to me is kind of like WHY???? Yes it will give him recognition, but it will only slow down the PBF showdown.
3)Please tell him to change his hairstyle if he wants to blow up in the USA. We Americans are biased on who we end up loving based on how cool/tough/smooth a man's hair is. Tell him to get a nice clean fade from the round the way barbershop.
4) Tell him he should fight his big/super/mega bouts only in SIN CITY. Thats the key to really blow up to have his pasty white asss splattered all over the MGM jumbotron, Wynn, Caesars Palace etc etc.
5) watch out not to get pimped by Don King and his evil ways. if Don King happens to win a bid to promote any of his bouts he better roll deep with his bodyguards, lawyers and his lawyer's lawyers.
6) as much as possible dont let his fights go the distance. if he really wants to blow up in the USA he gotta not only make people quit on the stool but make them sleep or do "dances".

oh yeah and cool click you lucky bastard!!!!!!!!

We're always talking about USA and Europe... ask him if he's ever been to Canada, and if so, how'd he like it here? What does he think about the people? The boxing scene? etc. Just don't ask him about the weather.

Also, if he had to name a single quality or attribute that will help a man/woman succeed in boxing, what would it be? Courage, speed, power, toughness, dedication, etc

What does he recommend a young boxer do to accumulate such massive stamina? Many boxers do their roadwork... but Ricky's stamina is beyond many's.

Ask him if he's ever hit a 9 dart finish? :kar:

LET'S KEEP IT SERIOUS YEAH PEOPLE ;)

Ask him if he has ever been soundly beaten by anybody or were his amateur defeats close decisions?

The hitman said something a while back about breaking the states together with Calzaghe, I'd like to know how much Joe's relationship with Frank Warren would jeopardize a Ricky Hatton/Joe Calzaghe doubleheader (and wow what if we got that doubleheader on a regular basis).

Good question, I echo that one

ask him, who's his favourite snooker player :)

He'd slam the phone down most likely ;D

Bump
Last chance people 8)

Would you let your son campbell follow in your footsteps and become a boxer?
Have you managed to get a city shirt on his back before he takes a shine to Chelsea? ;)

Can you ask him why he turns into Mr Blobby between fights.

Wanna get everyone on board for this and get some great questions together and the way i see it,The more brains we can get together (question wise) the better it'll be 8)...
Don't want it to be the same boring old sh*t he always gets asked hense the Joint venture.
Obviously i'll be pressing him on boxing matters but a little variation always relaxes the person you interview and you get a better result in my experience.
All serious questions will be considered and im guessing Saddo himself and the mods will probably read through and help select the best ones to use.
Don't miss this exclusive chance to ask the Hitman the questions that you want answered.
Fire away and good luck ;)

And yes....i am a lucky B*stard ;D
Let's go... 8)

say to him this,

PBF is afraid of you, and he is easy to hit when scared, if you get his a** in the ring, will you capitalize on his fear and try to stop him early while he is still uncomfortable and scared?

^ clean this up and ask him ^

ask if he would try to capitalize on PBF before he becomes comfortable
