Hatton's Badmouthing of Floyd is Pathetic, and Quite Frankly, Sad

[Mattyhitman]

It's obvious little Ricky Hatton cannot control his raging jealousy of Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is 6 months away from being on the biggest stage the sport has showcased in almost 5 years, and little Ricky can't stand it, so he is reduced to saying that Floyd's last few fights put him to sleep. He can't stand the fact that Mayweather is now set to have all the mainstream attention and fame that Hatton so miserably failed to gain in his so called 'American coming out party.' If Hatton had sacked up and even tried to make the fight instead of simply talking through the media and signing to fight bums, maybe it would be him this May who would be duking it out with the sports pound for pound best, but no. He instead chooses to live off of the long deceased glory of a fight that took place over a year ago. Ricky Hatton's badmouthing of Mayweather is pitiful and if Hatton fans can't man up and accept the truth, I feel sorry for you.

Im not sure if your a Mayweather fan, if you are, good for you. I like Mayweather as a fighter myself ....
Id still love to step on him for the comments he made about B-Hop but as a fighter... Hey, he is the best.

One thing we obviously know you are is a Hatton hatter which is just silly considering that your hate comes from what comes outta Rickys mouth.

Hatton has already heaped tons of praise on PBF for his abilities and so on.
That in itself is such a rare occasion in the sport of boxing these days that it simply clarifys the fact that Ricky is a nice guy, a true gent. (albiet, a bit cheeky but big Fwokin deal)

At the end of the day Hatton too (should you choose to accept it or not) is a top competitor and it goes without saying that he and any other professional boxer willing to get in the ring at championship level has the right to critise someones perfomance.

More so than 80% of us non-professional, non-engaging, sit at the PC, boxing fans ever will.... Yet we spend all fwoking day doing so!

Now if you think that kinda hypocrisy is okay, then son i feel sorry for you

So stop talking such Bolllocks, Bullsheet, utter narrow minded crap.
Where the hell are you from... Eastside?!

I would love so much to remove myself from these type of arguments but some people.....

Well said Jim cc

Quite possibly the dumbest post I've seen on this board.

[ImRipped]

im riped you are a dickhead. what are you talkin about 'hatton never dared open his mouth before'? i dont know if your aware of how much of a twat you come across as to everyone on this site when you speak such bollocks, but beleive me its a big one.
and for the record hatton hasn't bad mouthed mayweather before because thats not his style and he doesn't get into all of that shite. and he's only done now what he has always done, which is have a bit of a joke and voice his opinion when asked. half the time i think hatton praises mayweather on his boxing ability too much, but at the same time what do oyu expect him to do when asked about mayweather's last two performances? lie? he thought they were boring next to all the hype. fair enough. and i remember about a year ago hatton called mayweather a dickhead because of his arogance when they met ringseide at a fight. hatton went over to shake hands and floyd and floyd gave a lot of atitude. oh but i think your right (of course) and hatton has never said mouthed mayweather before but now he's retiring blah blah blah. WANKER!

Did you feel a giant gust of wind go over your head when you read the post, because yet again, you clearly are not capable of buying a friggin' clue. It's not that Hatton talked trash, it's that he decided to do so only when he found out he will never have to face Floyd in the ring. Don't be mad at me for you being stupid though. I didn't make you that way, God did

[jbirdy]

im ripped did you not read my post?
ok so you say its NOT that hatton talked trash, but he decided to do so when he knows that him and floyd will never meet (this i assume is because hatton is so shit scared of facing mayweather yeah, is that right). ok i'm pretty sure that hatton knows that floyd isn't retiring after his next fight as much as most boxing fans know thats not going to happen. you clearly don't like hatton but making up excuses not to like him is a bit low son.

[ono]

its nothing to do with that his fights havent been exciting what do u expect him to say oh his last two fights have been on the edge of ur seat stuff he is just saying what he thinks nothing wrong with that i like mayweather and hatton and i dont see anything wrong with hattons comment and excuse me kostya is no bum mayweather is moving up now hatton wont be able to get up that far so how the hell is that ducking

It all depends on how you like your boxing.

Floyd vs Baldomir = 12 round UD decision.
Floyd vs Judah = 12 round UD decision with a riot.
Floyd vs Mitchell = 6th round TKO.
Floyd vs Gatti = 6th round TKO.
Floyd vs Brusseles = 6th round TKO.
Floyd vs Corley = 12 round UD decision.
Floyd vs N'dou = 7th round TKO.

Floyd's done just fine...also...it's funny...but everyone keeps jumping time lines with Floyd. First it's that he hasn't fought an exciting fight or worthy opponent in the last 3-4 years, then it's his last two fights, & next it'll be either he was a joke because Oscar beat him...or Oscar was worn out because Floyd beat him...

Not that I'm commenting one way or another...I mean I did promise mum's the word on that matter till May the Fif.

Holy christmas...that's a long gotdam time for me to keep quiet.

and id like to know how hatton is fighting bums he is fighting castillo next year and this is the same guy that gave mayweather hell and should won first fight and second one was quite close aswell so how is that signing up to fights bums

One word: URANGO. I mean...come on.

Excluding Kostya & Collazo...what else can you say? Ben Tackie? Carlos "I got lucky...just once" Maussa?

Damn...& everyone rips Floyd's record apart.

You could make a case for Collazo beatin everyone of the fighters you've just mentioned. The best fighter on that list is probably zab judah and we all know what happened when he fought Kostya.

[ono]

I don't buy Hatton can't get up to the weights Mayweather is fighting at... He outweights Mayweather by like 30 pounds.

He can get up the weights. But he's 5'6 with short stubby arms like uncle roy from dinosaurs. He can stil make light welter easily so he should just concentrate on dominating that division. No point movin up and movin up. To upstage mayweather, hatton wud have to get up to like cruiserweight or something. He should concentrate on whooping everyone's arse at 140. Because he can do that!!!!

a sad click for you im afraid... your views are based on opinion and not fact..
ricky has given his honest opinions and it seems youve taken them to heart..
and whats more i find it interesting a floyd fan has gone all shirty about bad mouthing... you wana look at badmouthing other fighters maybe you are looking for floyd.. he does it more then most!
like i say your views are your own.. they are wrong, but at least theyr your own..

Take your sadclick and shove it right up your @zz, right back at you. Obviously you can't even understand the point I'm making. The point is, Hatton never talked trash about anyone, yet now comes out and calls Floyd 'Sheryl Crow'. And he only does this after Floyd says after Oscar, he's retiring. In other words, Hatton never dared open his mouth when the possibility of he and Floyd meeting at some point was still possible, but now, Floyd's retiring and all of the sudden little Ricky is Johnny Dangerous.

pathetic

He also called Junior Witter lord of the dance. Does that make him scared of fighting him too? Idiot.

ok so you say its NOT that hatton talked trash, but he decided to do so when he knows that him and floyd will never meet (this i assume is because hatton is so S*** scared of facing mayweather yeah, is that right). ok i'm pretty sure that hatton knows that floyd isn't retiring after his next fight as much as most boxing fans know thats not going to happen. you clearly don't like hatton but making up excuses not to like him is a bit low son.

I actually may be in the minority here of people who actually do believe that this will be Mayweather's last fight. The money and ppv numbers that he'll see when he faces Oscar will never come close to being matched against any other fighter out there, and he always said he wants to go out on top, that coupled with the fact that De la Hoya has been his dream fight since he was still an amateur.

[zhubin]

Hatton has beaten one great fighter, Floyd has beaten a few good fighters. Either way...people need to stop mentioning Gatti, Zab, Baldomir, etc. as examples of great opponents...that's just a plain joke. I am not a big fan of Hatton...but to try and villianize him and make him seem beneath Floyd is absurd. Floyd, for all his talent, has been coasting the past few years. He is trying desperately to be the next Oscar...but it aint happening. He just doesn't have Oscar's wide appeal. While Ricky's resume is certainly not stellar...Floyd should not be immune to criticism...Floyd has been fighting stiffs and is trying to fool us it to believing he is an all time great.

Absolutely hysterical . If Floyd has been fighting stiffs, Hatton has been fighting exumed corpses. At least Mayweather didn't need 40 tune up fights spoonfed to him before he had his first real fight (in his own backyard). And no one has to 'make Hatton seem beneath Floyd.' HATTON IS BENEATH FLOYD

p.s.--It's funny you mention Gatti, Judah and Baldomir as not being worthy of any sort of respect, considering two of those three would undoubtedly beat the sh!t out of little Ricky
