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.

What happened in Manchester?

How is it not an acivement are we to discredit every American fighter that fights near his him because he is fighting in his own back yard?
