Ricky Hatton talks about the violent brawl with his dad

[outspoken]

I always liked Hatton. I don't think he is saying this to sound like a badass. I think the guy just wants to finally answer questions that he gets asked till this day. He has been mute for quite some time on the subject.

Just like how when he says he wanted to slit his wrist and he was doing drugs is not for cool points. The guy is just being honest with his fans what's to hate about that? We all done something we are not proud of and he is man enough to admit to that.

I think so too, Outspoken.

It doesn't score you any points to come out with things that will seem strange to most. It will only cause the blinkered minds of people of people on boxing forums to look at you strangely.

In that sense Hatton is a brave person, he wears his heart on his sleeve. I respect him for that.

This just seems so minor to me. Given all the circumstances I'm surprised people can somehow be shocked about this. I'm sure he's not the only man in boxing that has had a scrap with his dad. I'm sure it happens on a regular basis all over the world with non boxers.

If people want to read about dysfunction just wait until the Hilton family tell all book comes out.
