I don't think team Hatton (should they lose) are the type who would come out with excuses like so many other fighters do if they lose, I think they would be the kind who take it on the chin and then look to what the future holds
He's not many excuses at all, he's simply stating what is happening in his camp. "No preperation for a fight is ideal ...." and "Things like this happen all the time, it's a rough sport..." don't sound much like excuses to me.
well it would be extremely negative of him to use it as an excuse before the weight in wouldn't it? ::**
Na, im just playin anyway. Just peeved that this has happened so near to the fight and my main concern is he cant train hard enough to cut the gut!
Damage control already.
The gut as you say is already gone fella, I know your 'just playin' but if you read the other reports around, Kerry Kayes has said he is already below the weight they would like him to be down too at this moment in time ? so losing a couple of days of sparring they probably dont have weight issue's surrounding that, at a guess that is ?Quote:

Never has been before, but then again, i dont think theres ever been a problem during camp for Hatton ???
Mind you, who knows, a couple of days sparring could of been the difference between a W and a L :-\
The injury was leaked prior to this statement - he's just giving us the update, putting minds to rest rather than creating excuses.
I am looking forward to this fight - Hatton in Vegas, with Jose Luis Castillo on the undercard, is a great night of blood & guts hopefully.
did he have a similar "excuse" before the Collazo fight ???
Me too! Certainly has the potential to be a good night of quality fights.. I'm anxious to see how JLC looks there will be some ring rust but he's a hard nosed steele willed SumBitchQuote:

However the idea is to conceal what ails you. look for Urango to target Rickys arms and shoulders in this match ! O0
Wecome to the forum mate. Clicked you for your troubles....Caution this place is bloddy addictive.Quote:

Yes or no.
I'd rather hear about this now instead of after the fight.
Ricky Hatton is pathetic.
Short notice, weight change, court date with Warren, first fight on HBO, Calzaghe didn't read him a bed time story the night before. How many excuses is Hatton and his groupies going to use?Quote:

Thats a no then is it?Quote:

There would be no excuses after the fight form team Hatton if he lost.
Also he's a genuinely nice guy who's stood by his roots and hasnt moved to some flashy mansion just cus he's rich. He's humble - "If i can be half the champion Kostya was i'll be extremely happy with my career". I just cannot understand why people hate on Hatton. Only thing i can think of is the collazo fight but Hatton and his team only said they struggled with the weight and he felt he didnt perform to his abilities.
Compare this Toney and many others in the game and he's a preety damn nice guy. Why the hate ?
Why? Because some people are stupid. hahahaQuote:

I don't know, but the Hatton hate is a brewing and steaming.
He is a nice guy and he does take on challenges. Callazo was and is dangerous for any fighter.
Hatton looks to be facing Castillo soon. :) So I'm happy.
i can see a lot of boy's are taking this opportunity to have a few digs at hatton. as far as i can see this source was taken from hatton's own site where he and his team were simply informing his fans on the progress of his fight preperation. and if any of you had seen how hatton trains and seen his tempo when he's thrashing billy graham's body bag you would see that it would be very easy to get an injury. he's like an animal and of course he could injure himself.
i think it was a bit low that a lot of you used this as a chance to lay some more hate on ricky. grow up
Well not for Nothing MR. Birdy, but its fair game you know that.... Boxers have fans and haters, Believe you me between being a Mayweather, Holyfield and Lacy fan I feel like I'm always posting off my back foot ;) It sucks but the past couple weeks I have learned to take that stuff less personally.. Its kinda like trying to convince someone to eat a type of food they dont like, no matter how delicious you think mushrooms and onions are good on your steak the thought of that make somepeople sick you'll never convince someone to eat it.. I was never really a Ricky Hatton supporter but the past few months the little chap has grown on me, if nothing more he is quite a gracious young man. The weight jokes are all in fun but I will say he always comes into his fights in great condition..Quote:
