Thought you guys may be interested if you haven't already seen it.

Given the fact we already have at least twenty Ricky Hatton threads couldn't you have added this to one of those?

Because it may not get seen doing that, ie, it get's lost in the middle of another thread.

This forum always has a prick like you on it.

But you already started an extra Hatton thread in addition to this one when there were already enough of them around.

Plus starting yet another thread on the same subject on the basis of you wanting to get your post seen isn't a good reason to start another thread.

Thread police!! :)

Cheers for the link.

What a prick

I'd seen the vid already but thanks for the link nonetheless.

I thought Hatton showed a lot of class at the end. Still wish he wouldn't insist on referring to himself in the third person though!

thanks for the link. referrring to himself in the third person is a sympton of what causes him mental problems...he doesn't see himself as himself just as the "ricky hatton" character that only really exists on fight night. it's seperate to him, that's why he can't ever find peace or live up to (his own) expectations.

in fact, it's very sad listening to hatton talk like that as he is being too hard on himself. he shaped boxing in the uk the same way as tyson did for a generation. he's given us all some of the best nights in boxing and acheived a hell of a lot. he's right not to continue but i wish he would have leathered junior witter instead of going in with a live wire like senchenko.

ta for the link quix, i prob wouldnt have seen this if you hadnt done a specific thread for it. nice 1.

I usually wouldn't say anything but it ruins the forum and if everyone decided to start a new thread just because they want to scream louder than everyone else this place wouldn't be much fun. good day

Hearing a 3 time world champion trying to convince himself that he is "not a failiure" was one of the hardest things I've heard in a boxing interview.

He's got to have the support. To be honest, I am not sure I ever completely bought into when Ricky talked about his depression BEFORE the fight. I often thought it was just something he noted to try and save face after being caught doing drugs so publicaclly. However, his post fight interview highlighted completely and utterly that he does suffer from this terrible illness.

I wish him well, his family have (dad and mam) have got to swallow their pride and support their son now. Whatever happened in the past, no matter who was right or who was wrong - their blood is a totured soul.

If boxing is what Ricky still craves to help him - then let him box.

Rid....dick Slow, as Lennox would say..........

If i wanted to scream louder than anyone else, i would be posting and doing threads all the time on here.....and i don't, i rarely post, so stop being a tad immature. My only reason was to have a say on Hatton initially and then put up the post conference thread so people could watch it.

It would seem a few people are grateful for that. This forum isn't as busy as it used to be and it was a unique night for British boxing, so i think it's fair to expect quite a few Hatton threads, same as you get with Fury, Price, Chisora, Haye etc etc.

(come back to the pound)

What ruins these forums are the same inane threads, week after week, sometimes one after the other, just worded differently. But more so what ruins these boards are the blow hard pains in the arse that have nothing better to do than bitch and moan and whinge and then the tedious splitting hairs, however, Quix, your thread is refreshingly informative on this much talked about, popular subject, thanks for the link and the thread mate as I would never have seen that interview if it wasn't for you, cheers

Hs Pickles diappeared ?
I wanted to send him a pm.
Serious - not a wind up.

Well said.

Very sad press conference and hard to watch. I was at the fight on Saturday and could see from early on that Hatton has diminished an awful lot. His timing was just not there and I lost count of the amount of times he loaded up with big hooks and missed by a mile. That sort of thing saps energy over the course of the fight and though I thought Hatton was just about winning the fight, in the long run I think it's a good thing that he lost this one as despite what he says, he would have carried on had he won and could have ended up getting a really serious beating if he came up against a bigger puncher.

All in all, he gave it his best shot and should be very proud of himself for what he has done for British boxing but he really does need to stick with his retirement decision now.

Klimt,

Do you want to marry me or something ? You seem a tad obseesed !!

Please please go and bore someone else or go on a human rights march

Totally agree mate......

They are the type of people who work for the council and go through your bins, making sure that you have seperated your rubbish into the correct containers

I do worry for Hatton for the future however as once this defeat sinks in it may hurt him a lot more than the Mayweather and Pacman defeats did. Senchenko, though competant, is not world class and going out on his knees to a fighter like that must torture him mentally. He kept saying in the interview that he was happy but he came across as anything but happy to me. He needs to resolve the rift with his parents as he'll need their support in the future and he also needs to stop drinking completely. Drinking will exagerrate how depressed he'll feel.

Boxing careers arerather like political careers, they invariably end badly. I honestly believe that if Hatton hadn't of lost in the manner he did against Pacquaio, then he would have retired and not come back at all. It was the way in which he lost that bothered him. If he had lost on points or even stopped in the way that Floyd stopped him, then i think he wouldn't have been so distraught about things.

At the end of the day, boxing is all about making money, titles and reputation come second and third. He has his health and plenty of brass, a young family and a good future in boxing as a trainer / promoter. All fighters eventually fade into memory, event the greats like Leonard, Jones, Duran, Hearns. It's howboxing is, the kingis dead, long live the king etc etc
