    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

    Just don't do anything today. And then you can go home and say, "I was paid for not doing anything." Hell it beats ouring concrete mate.

    Dont want to cause offense mate. Not everyone is going to hate him in USA but the majority dont like him.

    I'm British and I hate Ricky Hatton!! I think it's mainly his fans who think the man is unbeatable that caused the hatred.

    1- Not just Americans dislike Hatton

    2- It is not as if Hatton is some under appreciated fighter that gets no credit for his accomplishments

    3- Stop the hit twice then hold bullshit and then he will not be criticized....

    I think he gets just a smuch hate as every other fighter. Once a fighter gets really popular he is bound to have his detractors.

    I believe that a possible main driver for this perception can the nationalism that we have been speaking in one of the posts. And, there is noting wrong with that as long as we keep the respect for each other.

    The fans bug some people, the style, etc.

    And I thought we outlawed talking badly about Zab Zab is a true warrior and a gentleman, a poet actually.
