RIP Ricky Hatton

[theflyest]

its terrible news..i was not a hatton fan..i still remember the first time i saw him vs magee and i didnt think much of him..then he goes and puts tszyu into retirement...and i really didnt like him..i always thought more beatable than he was..he got the best out of his ability ill say that..ill always regret not going into boston to see him fight collazo because i was feeling lazy..for better or for worse...he was a staple in one of the best periods of boxing to watch on TV....that PPV vs floyd was so wild...it made floyd the american hero by default...conversely hatton might be one of the few to make more money than floyd in a fight during the money may phase...and i gave him respect for beating the crap out of paulie which was unexpected...RIP and hope he finally found the peace he was looking for

You were surprised he beat Pauline so easily?

You really didn’t think much of Hatton if you thought Pauline was gonna give him a competitive fight

HATTON VS GATTI would have been Great!

HATTON vs JUDAH..

Facts.
Paulie thought the same thing and took a career beating for it. All that shyt about Hatton ain't special. Its the refs.

shyt, the reason I picked Porter to stop Paulie is because of this fight.

The funny thing about it is that he didn’t just overwhelm Paulie with volume/body punching, but straight up OUTBOXED him with Mayweather Sr in his corner.

Paulie tried to act like this was his “Mayweather/gatti” type of fight going into it with their being a huge skill disparity. Well it was just the other way around.

there weren't many nights like that to me that hatton looked that good..floyd sr is woefully unsung as a top trainer

I watched a lot of his fights on his come up. I knew he would do what he did to Tszyu as well.

He really didn’t have a competitive fight until Collazo

i still think collazo won that fight

One of the most racially fueled settings.

I remember Denzel's reaction towards the crowd after Floyd stopped Hatton. Gold.

Thought it was a debatable that could go either way

Favorite fighter in fight night.

I used him 70% of the time.

Shout out to Diego Corrales. Chico was the other homie.
