Why do americans hate Ricky Hatton ?

[Douglas]

He always comes across as a likeable guy and he did have good wins over Tysu & Castillo. And in the run up to the Tysu fight he was awesome against the likes of Olivera, Phillips and Tackie. I know they're C Class fighters but Hatton is a lot better than some of the dross out there. His form has dipped since winning the world title due to his stupid lifestyle I will say that. If he was Mexican I bet he would be more popular in the states. Why all the hate ? Surely Mayorga, Judah are worse personalities to like.

Maybe it's because of the Hatton forum.

I love Hatton; one of my favorite fighters currently. His style is exciting, though I'd really like to see more head movement and less bull-in-a-china shop type aggression. The boy can box but actually handicaps himself at times by not doint it at times when he should, IMO. Love the guy and I'll miss him when he finally explodes from eating too much
