I am sad for Ricky Hatton :(

[Chino]

Don't feel bad for him. All that means is he stands to gain a lot more recognition and respect if he does pull out the victory.

I guess that is what will make this fight more exciting for me. Cheering for the underdog, for the guy that nobody is giving hope at all, which I can see why of course. Pac is on a roll.
After seeing that the press has praised Pac already and talks about Hatton as if he was just a stepping stone, I wonder what they will all say IF Hatton won. Will they just give Ricky a pat on the shoulder and sent him to the locker room or will they make a big deal just like they are already with Pac? Let's see, let's see.

They'll probbly say he should have won as Pac got lucky against Oscar and he should have never traveled to higher weight classes in the 1st place. I don't see too much praise for Hatton, Stateside anyways.

AsianSensation,
At least there were people who would give Pac hope when he fought Oscar. With Hatton, I barely see anybody from the press give him hope. Many are already celebrating Pac's victory pretty much.

Saw your Japanese flag and I was wondering...Nihonjin nano? Nanka, nihon no hatta mitekara, nihonjin kanaaaa to omoutta. Sa, Rikiiii gambareeee! Ikee! Ikeee! Mageru sou dakedo na! heheheheh!

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I can imagine a "Nice job champ!...Now, let's talk about upcoming fights on HBO..."

[mattboxingfan]

It will just make his victory all the sweeter.

[Taeth]

IMO things are way easier on Hatton, he doesn't ahve the weight of the world on his shoulders, its his natural weight class against a guy who has had trouble with his style, he has nothing to loss and everything to gain.

I Think It Will Give Ricky More Reason To Give 100%.

You're basically asking me if I am Japanese TOO. Yes, are you?

Don't feel too bad for him mate, over here in the UK not a single pundit, boxer or anyone involved with boxing is picking anything other than a Hatton win.

The whole sky team, Calzaghe, Froch, Khan, McGuigan, Woodhall, Nelson, McCrory etc have all said they reckon Hatton will win.

There has only been one person I've seen in the UK who thinks Hatton will lose and you won't even need three guesses.


Yup, Frank Warren. Oh the bitterness of the man


Not sure what Junior Witter thinks nobody in Britain cares so the press don't bother asking him

Khan for Hatton is a shocker for me. I'm curious about Billy Graham's take on this fight?

Your individual opinion guys. Is he really wishing Hatton's success for this fight?

[Chino]

Yes guys, it will make the victory sweeter.

You're basically asking me if I am Japanese TOO. Yes, are you?

I am Mexican but went to university at Osaka, Japan, where I finished my studies.

"Nihonjin nano? Nanka, nihon no hatta mitekara, nihonjin kanaaaa to omoutta. Sa, Rikiiii gambareeee! Ikee! Ikeee! Mageru sou dakedo na! heheheheh!"

Translation:
Are you Japanese? Well, saw your flag so...Well, Go Ricky! Go! Gooo! Seems like a loss but...

Bilbo,
When you said that there was someone in England who didn't see Ricky winning, I somehow thought it would be Frank Warren too hahaha!

Billy Graham said Hatton between rounds 4 and 8 as he is too big and strong for Manny and just as fast.
