All action, superfit and aggresive as a pitbull. Amazing. When he turned pro i was watching, every fight the same, quick to the middle of the ring and straight to the body. He never held back then...Always makes me nervous as im afraid he';ll get stopped on a cut or tire early.
Just amazing.

Never got behind a fighter like i did Ricky (with the exception of Mr.Ali of course.)
yeh i know man, i grew up not far from hattersley where hatton is from so its easy to relate to his sense of humour and his background. also he's a city fan and i am so it was inevitable that i would start following him.

i used to get behind naseem but i was a bit younger back then and obviously wasn't into it as much as i am these days.

i get behind all the british guys anyway......david haye, enzo, joe c, kahn, mitchell, murray...even witter (i met him just before he beat viv and he let me hold his belt so we're cool )

kinda want david haye to get put on his a*** because my gf fancies him on the sly
The uk is pretty blessed with some really talented fighters right now.
Wish i could say the same for Ireland, McBride is a joke, i always suspected Dunne of being a pretender, i think Duddy will fail short of the top. Andy Lee is my one true hope. He will be World Champ.
Matty Hatton boxed last weekend didnt he. I dunno if he'll make it but it'd be cool to see him on top.
yeh andy lee looks the real deal....

i always though dunne was the tier below world class tbh

i like duddy...he's exciting

i don't think matty has what it takes.....i like him (even tho he's a red) but he doesn't have what it takes to get to the top IMO.
