ricky hatton = muppet

[bobtheturkey]

i always said hatton was overated, mayweather made him look like a fool, people got annoyed by mayweathers arrogance he is like that because he is the best nowt wrong with that, are british sportsmen built up too much? it makes things worse when you see the likes of "the great hatton" sitting on his "arse" looking ever so slightly ridiculous :) well done mayweather easy money :)

Take it Hatton lost then...

[cazzz1975]

everything is overrated in this country, not just sportsmen/women...

[skyep]

Hi bob/beads xx
I don't think Hatton is overated or egotistical, just passionate. Hatton did say fair do's!
Hatton also basically said, at the end of the day he was the cleverer boxer, so also he has humility! xxx

[neo.]

havent seen the fight...just the pics.
He does not look like an athlete.Mayweather looked super fit and in shape.
But Hatton has a great record.....its by Iron Maiden

Why don't you wait 10 years until after his retirement and tell him what you think to his face in his local boozer? See how interested he'll be, and how foolish you'll look sitting on your arse.
He did well and worked hard to get there, will you call Calzaghe a chump should he ever be defeated?
It's easy to criticise.

I wanted to see him do well, but why are they so mouthy before the fight, even after he said he didn't think maywether was that good, ffs, he ain't the champion for nothing and with the ultra massive ring he could have danced all night. and yes bob they are built up to much, even michael owen said not one of the croation players would get into the England team, maybe not Michael but at the moment I would swap the whole bloody lot of the England team for the Croatian squad they made England team look what they are too, very average.

Morning skyep :) . I didn't see it - was in the land of nod. Plus I can't stand all that punching. I'm far too fluffy.

Hi cazzz xx, did anyone watch it? We were out, came back, decided on the last minute to book it, went to bed for a few hours then got up to watch it, was gutted!

[bobtheturkey]

id tell him now everton its 10 years for gbh and and money for me plus i have a shotgun he can box that :)

[bobtheturkey]

he wasnt just beaten he was taken apart :)

[Gromit]

Just two blokes trying to knock sh1t out of each other. One won, one lost.

That's entertainment.

There's more guns in Manchester than the OK Corrale! Hatton's a tough guy unfortunately he has to suffer cheap shots from n'er do wells and never weres. By your own admission you would'nt get in the ring with either of em, his nan would kick your arse all the way to New Year.
I'm not a big fan of Hatton, he tried and he failed but at least he tried his best and that's all that matters to me. ;-))

[bobtheturkey]

im in belfast no guns here :) my point is he was made up into something he clearly isnt any man that wears a hat is not to
be feared :)

[Gromit]

Didn't watch it, but here is the news report. They say he had some early success. Are you sure you watched the same fight BTT as everyone else?

"Manchester's Hatton, 29, applied most of the pressure in the early rounds and found some success with some big lefts.

With the strains of Blue Moon still ringing in his ears, light-welterweight king Hatton started quicker and wobbled Mayweather with two big right hands in the first round.

But Mayweather let his hands go in the middle rounds, with his fierce left finding its target as Hatton attacked."

Hi to neo/everton/ray/Gromit,
New answerbank playing up again! Third attempt!
There's allways bigging up on both sides, isn't that just part of the entertainment? Muhamed Ali was a prime example. I believe Hatton truly thought he would do it, it just didn't happen.

[bobtheturkey]

sums it all up really that 2 of the top 3 in sports personality of the year are likely to be 2 losers, hatton and "im off to live in switzerland" lewis hamilton, i reckon steve mclaren should win for having the worlds cheesiest grin :)

[Gromit]

I have, that is why I supplied the link.

It doesn't say he looked foolish or ridiculous.

[bobtheturkey]

even lennox lewis agrees with me and he should know he was a great british sportsman.... wait he is canadian :)

[skyep]

bob - Did you over do it on the sun bed there? :0) xxx
