Why do americans hate Ricky Hatton ?

[JT Rock]

Most hate Bill O'Reilly because he is a moron. Similar to why I don't like people that boo national anthems, it is moronic.

It is quadruply moronic when your man is up against three American judges and an American ref.

That sank in after 20secs and Cortez shouting Ricky, Ricky, Ricky no hold Ricky and Hatton was 2ft from Floyd.

Stop the cryin buddy

The ref had nothing to do with it so stop the nonsense... Ricky was 10x worse and so was the Ref in the KT fight, but after that fight Ricky was hailed a God and national hero, but all of a sudden Floyd is Satan and the american judging system was crap...

Expalin that logic please, and if you cant then immediatly discredit Ricky's win over KT and then balance will be restored in the universe

Floyd beats Ricky 7 days a week and 3x on Sunday

JT don't do it man, you know this is the beginning of the same argument that erupts once a week here.

My Dad is a huge Hatton fan. Favorite fighter actually. Me, not so much. But I don't hate Hatton at all. But his fans are over the top at times, ie, Markus Darkus who said Danny Williams could beat anybody. How can you say Pavlik or Miranda fans are any worse then that? Come on now.

But anyone who saw him versus Collazo, the last 7 rounds versus Urango could find him boring and/or overrated. I personally think the Tackie fight was a great fight as was the Tszyu fight. But he does hug way to much. I like him though. I think Americans like him more then they hate him.

The Williams that fought Tyson could beat any heavyweight exept Wlad.

Dont see much wrong with that, dont speed read.

I didn't read all of posts but heres me thoughts...

I'm American and I don't hate him. Matter a fact almost all of the Americans I know here don't hate Hatton. Now let's not confuse not supporting/rooting for with hating.

For Hatton vs. Tszyu I was Tszyu all the way but on that night I think Hatton made a fan out of EVERYONE who tunned in that night. After a performance like that people are gonna expect the best from you. Hatton has looked far from what he did that night in June.

Since that night I was a fan I like his personality. He's funny as fuck and has charisma the atmosphere that the people bring to his fights is unlike any other that compared to Ali, ODLH, Tyson, Lennox etc. etc. I mean it was a football match just like in Man City out here in Vegas. That is insane... I found myself singing Ricky Hatton Land during his fights you just can't help it.

This thread can also be countered with why do the British hate PBF?

All in all I think Rickys good for boxing now if only he could deliver one more performance like in June of 05 and believe you me any boxing fan will applaud him.

[No Contest]

Because we cant understand WTF he's saying half the time. Heh i'm j/k I actually like him. He seems like a real cool cat outside the ring.

[hairymadness6]

I don't dislike Hatton, I'm just not convinced he's much of a fighter. Granted a win over Tzsyu is a major accomplishment. Beating a badly faded Castillo was not. I really believe that a prime Castillo beat Hatton. Look at the reffing in his last fight and it should be clear why winning in Manchester is not perceived as that impressive.

I don't want to dislike Hatton and there's nothing wrong with his personality. It's his boxing style that's infuriating. It's not too late for Ricky to win over more American fans but I don't think a victory over Malinaggi will go very far.

And yeah, I'm sure the Kostya Tszyu fans were thrilled with Dave Parris' selection as a ref. It's how every country works.
