Ricky Hatton has irritated me as of late...

[Gandalf]

One thing that really irritates me is Ray Hattons money grabbing we this we that we the other ... Love or hate Frank warren but to me he wasnt as obvious as Ray where the grabbing is concerned .. and tho I may be totally wrong thats how he comes across to me ...

So we nothing .. its Rick doing the biz in the ring and not him...

What makes it worse is then they call Ricky the "man of the people" .. we (well most) know it's about money so stop pretending otherwise.

I find Ricky cringworthy these days too. Press conference the other day he said - "I think all the British press guys will agree Ricky Hatton has the twinkle back in his eye" ... tart. Fact.

Lol, funny bud .. but thats how the Hattons come across these days aint it..

The Hattons!! Its just annoying really. I like Ricky as a fighter and his brother is sometimes okay as a journeyman. But the rest of them. Just Fuck Off!!!!! They are a complete irrelevancy but always seem to have interviews and attention.

Well said Miles and my point exactly Rick is sound and was loved because of who he was and what he did ... but I feel Ray Hattons involvement only succeeded in caricaturing and over exaggerating Ricks personality and his perspective on things to do with his career..

And tho fighters need a challenge it was a disaster for me that they should take the Floyd fight, money again....I think he should have fought Gatti before Floyd got hold of him then Cotto, whom I really believe he woulda beat back then, and they would have made him money and enhanced his legacy .. but he was never gonna beat Floyd in a million years...

I spoke with Hatton and Billy Graham briefly after the Calzaghe v Lacy and on asking Rick about Mayweather he just bowed his head and said Floyds a bit special aint he, billy Graham made it obvious that it was on no horizon for him and that there was other fights to be taken in Hattons own division..

Like even now they hardly ever mention the undefeated Light Welter Ricky Hatton which is where they should be taking him mentally for me, not the court jester that they seem to be trying to create..
