Ricky seeems to inundate us with cliches. Anybody agree, I can think of loads. Can you?

I'll start with

'it's not a tickling contest, is it?'

Any more anybody?

"usual witty, sarcastic self"

"I did it against Kostya Tszyu."

'just a normal kid doing very well at what he does'

"im no different from the man in the crowd"

Man of the people

I am like their mate - thats why the fans love me.


Tickling Contest


Don Perrier ( thats what hw calls it! ) and Guinness


Darts


Bla bla bla cliche talking PR Monkey!



PBF will beat him down!

I think PBF is more worried about when Hatton clinches.

'To be the best pound for pound fighter in the world at any weight is something special.'

This is the best (and worst) quote I've seen in ages and one which should be used in English lessons up and down the country:

"I've never seen Floyd dig deep, grab the bull by the horns and pull a fight out of the bag," Hatton told BBC Sport.

Why does he say Ickle instead of little?

That was the first one I thought of when I read the heading. It's written multiple times in his book too.

Its a Manchester thing ain't it? Liam Gallagher used to say the same as I remember

Its just bad English, why does he say Maywevver?

a while ago he kept going on about this or that "gave him an erection" said ti about ten times in a couiple of weeks on chat showes and stuff.

that didnt evoke good images and was pretty cringable.

Thought it was a Jamaican ting.

One things for sure this fight is not a 'Ickling Contest'.

I think that was in reference to the Kostya Tszyu fight when he said he almost blew his load when he realised he had retired in his corner.

The prospect of a war with Castillo gave him an erection, too, as did the chance to fight the p4p best.

I'd pay Children In Need to here Jonathan Ross ask him:

"So Wicky, weally, what do you think wepresents the best way to wemove smoke from a little tewwace house?

"I'd have to say a ickle chimlee Jonathan, by the way did you know my mum is well, how can I say, a monster/animal?"

"Weally? You've only told me wound about 27 times since Fwiday."

Talking of public displays Ricky has had an awful spot erupt at the wrong time.

I know Ricky's complexion isn't what he is known for but he is very unlucky for that mother to crop up at a time when he is on tv every hour across the globe.

Potentially a bit more serious if it's a cold sore, which it looked like to me...

You reckon? I thought sores tended to be more on the lip, this looks a little higher?

Maybe it is a sore and if it is going wrong on Saturday night Ricky will bite Mayweather and give him herpes/the clap?

To quote CJ from the classic sitcom 'Reggie Perrin': "I didn't get where I am today by using clichés. A cliché to me is like a red rag to a bull."
