Apparently Ricky shouldn't have fought

This article quoting Ray Hatton says Ricky shouldn't have fought

Sky Sports | Boxing | News | Dad - Ricky shouldn't have fought

I'm getting tired of this attempt to shift blame onto Floyd Mayweather Sr, everyone heard him telling Ricky what to do, and Ricky didn't do it. They did this after his defeat to Mayweather, claiming it was all down to Cortez & the weight, now its all the trainer's fault. I actually thought Ricky fought fairly well in the Mayweather fight & was just outclassed, but this time he was abysmal. I can understand his Dad making excuses but that Gareth Williams guy really pisses me off. These guys should of stopped Ricky doing TV shows at 11PM the night before the fight and had him resting rather than blaming it all on someone else again

Set of Fannys.

I like Hatton but the people around him do my head in. I've heard a rumour from someone who supposedly has a bit of inside info that Hatton is going to refuse to pay Mayweather Sr due to him hardly being at training.

Should just accept that he got chinned. Would have happened to anybody who'd have come at Pac like that with no head movement or guard.

Ray Hatton is such a cringworthy funker.

Ricky went through with the fight because he wouldn't let the fans down.. it has nothing to do with Ricky's MASSIVE payday then?

Now, Now, don't be cynical, after all he fights in Vegas cos it's cheaper there for the fans than to go to the MEN.


I don't think they realise that these excuses make them look worse, they were happy enough with Floyd after the Paulie fight.

One of these days, the Hatton family will come to grips with reality and figure out that Ricky is a good fighter who will never beat a Floyd/Pac level fighter, even on his best day.

Enough with the excuses already.

'Ricky made a mistake and got caught. I think to a large extent he was let down by people around him,' he added. 'But we’re not going to start making excuses or trying to divert blame because that’s not the way we are.'

yup. nice gif.

[HattonTheHammer]

absoloute crap

If hatton was SOOO disheartened by the way the training camp was going why the hell didnt he alter things late on rather than tell us all on a day to day basis how he was in the shape of his life thanks to the way training had been going??

Oscar had a very valid reason for underperforming against manny but still to this day has chose not to disclose too many details of what we all pretty much know was something that went horribly wrong in the 24 hours between the weigh in and the fight.

This however is just sourgrapes from hatton snr and a very poor showing if you ask me!!

not even gonna read it the title tells me all i need to know....

RICKY AINT RETIRING

I'm a big Hatton fan but I do agree he shouldn't have fought. Not because of the camp, but because even on his best day, I saw no way he was gunna beat Manny Pacquiao. Quit with the excuses, its just putting Ricky in a bad light.

[Master]

What was the excuse? Heard the interview by his dad on Setanta and was waiting for him to say why he should not have fought and he talked like a politician and said nothing concrete.

Damn that Mayweather. If only he wouldn't of been late. There's no doubt if Mayweather would of showed up 10 minutes before he did Pacquiao would of got knocked out. Those 10 minutes before hand wrapping are so fukking crucial. And Mayweather missed them. And in turn he cost Hatton the fight

Come on VD, you have to admit when your getting the best part of a million dollers to turn up that late is a bit of a joke.

But the Hatton empire make me laugh its like a circus act im going off Ricky and his " team " more and more by the day, becasue of some late showings and some unproffesional behaviour it should of been called off lol, Ray FUCK OFF!!!

Prior to the fight Hatton was in the best shape of his life i know hes not going to say anything else in such a big fight, but ten days before the fight he was giving worldwide interviews saying to get the mortgage on him he wont let us down, i mean that defintly sounds like a man whose training camp has been so poor he should of pulled out .

Hatton will fight again because its all about fleecing his fans for all he can get, i mean the so called man off the people wants a nice £10 million plus home coming payday probably against some punchbag who hasnt got a dig on him, to add to the Hatton empire, the guy is turning into the english version of Dela Hoya.

Hatton has been fighting long enough to know what to do. All this shiit Mayweather did don't even matter. It all falls on Hatton. If I remember correctly he approached Mayweather to train him. Not the other way around.

[Majesty]

it's this kind of delusionalism that kept Ricky from perfecting any mistakes that contributed in his loss to Mayweather. Everyone and their mom were blaming weight etc saying Ricky was unstoppable at 140 and everything as did the people around Hatton probably. And Ricky bought into it, went in with Pacquiao like he was gonna do what he'd done to everyone instead of listen to Mayweather's instructions and got knocked out.
