It's from The Sun newspaper, no surprises then

IMO he shouldn't quit no way, he looked good last week and he has plenty left to beat Paulie, Torres etc.

I know does Hart still think Cotto, Mayweather and a prime Kosta Tszyu still fight at 140?

"They are expected to meet in in the autumn. I wonder how many more pints and pies Ricky will consume by then."

-Colin Hart

It sounds like he has genuine concern for Ricky's health in the ring.

Sounds like he's trying to become some sort of moral leader to me. How did he expect him to look?

Man, the guys from the Sun paper, if you lived in the UK you would know how shit the Sun paper is. I wouldn't use it to wipe my ass with.

Hey!!! Just make sure you pull out the 'Dear Dierdre' section and hand it to me before you take that dump!

''Dear Dierdre,
I have a 2 inch phallus and can not make my girlfriend cum. Can I make it bigger??''

Dierdre's response - ''No, but don't worry. Love will prevail and she will love you regardless..you can always pleasure your girl in other ways. Try giving her oral''

Yeah yeah fuck you, you lying old bitch

Gotta love Dear Diedre!

Obviously the article was effective. We have 4 pages on this thread. It worked.

Bilbo you are dead wrong on a bunch of different levels.

If you really think Gamboa or Khan come close to beating Hatton even in a year's time then you are just crazy, certified nuts because there is no chance. Pacquiao winning would be a tough sell much less Khan or Gamboa.

I don't get why Tszyu was shot. He wasn't prime but he wasn't shot and was coming off one of his most impressive performances as a pro. I personally think Hatton's smothering pressure would have bothered Tszyu at any point in his career. It's just a style that gave Tszyu problems, he needed space to punch and he needed to be moving forward. Doesn't matter what year it was he was always going to have problems with Hatton.

And highlighting every trouble period he's ever had as a pro is just fickle. You could do that with any fighter on the planet, as long as they won the fight the point is moot.

And most importantly, if you think Hatton hasn't at all declined then again, just don't know what to say. Watch any fight, the Tszyu, Maussa fight specifically and then watch him against Collazo. Not the same fire. Not nearly the same bounce in his step, looked sluggish in both his fights in America. Looked better against Floyd but was in the ring with a much better fighter.

Talks of Hatton's demise have been greatly exaggerated. It's going to be a while before he has to come up with an exit strategy. Once guys like Lamont Peterson, Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz develop more then he'll have a worthy challenger to his 140 lb supremacy. Right now he looks to be a cut above everybody at the weight.

I have no problem with hating a fighter but come on do you really buy what you are saying? That Khan or Gamboa would wreck Hatton? Honestly now...

Colin Hart gets on my nerves but he's right about Hatton not being the fighter he used to be.. I think another loss is inevitable too.. but don't think he needs to retire just yet

Of course he was not on that night, he was coming back from a brutal KO loss, jesus That guy should watch the Castillo fight. Boxing writer my ass.

I'm surprised ANYONE could think Hatton is as good as he was 3/4 years ago.

Lazcano would have been stopped.

You're well overrating him.

I never implied that at all. IMO just read ICB's post, he sums it up perfect.

It depends which Hatton from 3/4 years ago. The Hatton that struggled against Vilches? The Hatton that looked quite poor against Maussa?

He had his poor nights then fighting much shitter fighters.

"Compared to other light-welterweights, being hit by Lazcano is the equivalent of being assaulted by a ball of cotton wool. Yet three times he came close to dropping Hatton."



This comment made me laugh does he know anything about Lazcano ?? Lazcano has always been a solid puncher and he hits harder than majority of Jr Welterweights. None of the title holders can punch except Torres so this comment is ridiculous.

Hatton was hurt more in previous fights against Magee, Phillips, I honestly think this whole thing about Hatton almost being KO'ed is well overrated. I mean just take a look at how Hatton went back to the corner, his head was clear and his legs were fine. I think people are being way too harsh on Hatton like i've said many times, Hatton was coming off a humiliating KO loss. And to comeback against a solid opponent in front of 56000 fans i think he done very well taking all that into account.

Except for his defensive issues which he has always had what was really wrong with is performance ?? his combinations were good, his body punching was good, he showed a lot of energy in the later stages, so why all the hate ??
