weldone hatton,i knew you would win but this fight is not the fight that would lift you to that pedestal.i suggest you fight de lahoya(the payday is also good)or manny pacman(thats gonna be another hearns-hagler and i will sell my house to get a ticket for that bout)or better still a rematch with mayweather.malignali is good but that guy cant punch a hole in wet cottonwool(5 KOs in 25 fights attests to this).you are good hatton but you need a war to register your name firmly in the halls of boxing history.YOU NEED A WAR!

Hatton will never lose at light welterweight. So if the pacman wants to fight at that weight , it will be a great fight , hatton will win. But leave alone mayweather, and de la hoya , stay at your weight 140pounds. i say become the undisputed champ then retire.

dont fight manny you get knock out again just fight oscar

premiership.altervista.......run to f**K!!! this is a discussion forum...not a place to con money out of people!!! - now beat it before i track you down and shove your pc up yer @#$%!!

All you's people picking on TIRED - i am a middleweight amatuer boxer, just as tired is/was. show him some respect...he's entitled to his oppinion....he's been in the ring. - while most of you's are geeks who took it in the ring!!!
I live in Nottingham and wanted hatton to win...he picked his "times up" fighters well.

Leave your backyard and fight on their turf sometime.

As for the aberdeen boxer......he is a muppet who backed out of a fight with my mate - why? because it was south of the border and would only have his scummy family as support!!! lol

I have read all of tired comments and i agree with him 90% of what he's saying.

Boxers fighting weaker opposition...its not on!!! - why not pick a fiesty younger , hungrier boxer??? - why not? u'd maybe get your @#$% kicked!!! - these are rickys final fights and he's trying to get as much £$ as possible. Mayweather proved what a boxing genius is capable of. Ricky is just a boxer - overhyped???? maybe.

That giant russian is solid. russian do produce solid boxers with strong chins.

But well done anyway ricky on what could be your last ever victory!!

But however,

Darren W, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR LEE McCALLISTERS FAMILY, I CERTAINLY COULDN'T SPEAK OF WHETHER HE WAS ONE OF THE FAMILY INVOLVED IN THE CRIME YOU MENTIONED. SURELY THOUGH, IF HE WASN'T ONE OF THE RAPISTS ETC, AND HE DUG HIS WAY OUT OF THE PROBLEMS OF HIS FAMILY AND FOUGHT ANYONE AND ALMOST AS IMPORTANT, ANYWHERE, FOR ANY TITLE, HE WOULD GAIN RESPECT THROUGHOUT THE BOXING WORLD AS A WHOLE. NOT JUST A FEW THOUSAND TRAVELLING FANS THAT ARE SO PRE-OCCUPIED BY THE "LOCAL LAD DONE GOOD" OR "HOMEGROWN" LABEL.

HATTON IS A LOCAL HERO, NO DOUBT. THE NEVER GIVE UP ATTITUDE MENTIONED IS OBVIOUS AND COMMENDABLE, BUT I DON'T SEE GREATNESS, I CERTAINLY THINK WITTER WORRIED HIM AND LASTLY, HE HAS BEATEN FIGHTERS NOT ON TOP FORM OR IN THEIR PRIME. ALSO, CAN SOMEONE GIVE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES HE AND CALZAGHE FOUGHT OUTSIDE THEIR WBO TITLES WHERE THE REAL CHALLENGES OF THEIR DAY WERE? EUBANK WAS THE SAME COMFORT LOVING BOXER ALSO. BENN LOST TO EUBANK, BUT STILL WENT ON TO FIGHT WARS, WHICH EUBANK WOULDN'T. YES HE BEAT BENN, BUT HE KNEW HIS GAME, HE WASN'T A WARRIOR LIKE BENN THOUGH.

IT SEEMS IF YOU ARE NOT A HATTON FAN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CRITICISE HIM, WHICH IS THE BRITISH WAY, YET OUTSIDE BRITAIN, ITS OK TO "BASH THE YANKS". NEXT IT'S BETWEEN THE 4 COUNTRIES OF THE BRITISH ISLE, THEN THE NORTH V SOUTH OF ENGLAND AND ALSO IRELAND WALES AND SCOTLANDS NORTH SOUTH DIVIDE, THEN AREAS, THEN STREETS THEN FAMILIES. IT NEVER ENDS AND NEVER WILL UNTIL PEOPLES TRUE FEELINGS AND BELIEFS ARE EXCEPTED AS VALID, IF A TRUE AND NON-INFLAMATORY ACCOUNT IS GIVEN.

IF I RESPOND TO PEOPLES ABUSE BECAUSE I DARED CALL HATTON "NOT GREAT" WITH "MANK NORTHERN LOWLIFE" IT'S BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ONLY UNDERSTAND "LOWLIFE" DIALOGUE.

SO THEN meesterlang1, THE FACT THESE SAME MANK OR OTHER LOWLIFE FOLLOWERS CONSTANTLY TALK OF "BASHING THE YANKS" SUGGESTS IT'S A ONE WAY STREET? YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. ARE YOU SAYING THE SOUTH SHOULD SUPPORT THE NORTH BECAUSE HE'S BRITISH? OR SHOULD WE SUPPORT HIM AS A COUNTRY, IE; ENGLISH?

I'VE BEEN TO WATCH VALENTINO ROSSI ON A FEW OCCASSIONS, AS IN MY OPINION, HE'S THE GREATEST MOTOGP RIDER IN HISTORY. I'M NOT ITALIAN, AND WOULD GET NO THRILL OUT OF TOSELAND BEATING HIM, THOUGH I'M A FELLOW COUNTRYMAN.

THE TRUTH IS, THE PLASTIC BOXING FANS OF HATTONS (WHICH ARE THE MAJORITY), WON'T LOOK AT ANOTHER BOXING MATCH AFTER HIS CAREER, WHICH NEGATES YOUR BELIEF THE NORTH Vs SOUTH THING DOES NOT EXIST. THERE HAVE BEEN BETTER BOXERS THAN HATTON THAT HAVE BEEN BEATEN AS THE LEAGUE OF THEIR TIME WAS FAR STRONGER. HE LIKE CALZAGHE HAS ONLY RECENTLY STEPPED OUT OF THE CONFORT OF THEIR BELOVED BACKYARDS TO FIGHT TRUE CHAMPS. SADLY, THE GREAT ROY JONES JUNIOR WAS LESS THAN 70% OF HIS BEST. CALZAGHE WAS NEARLY AT HIS BEST.

AT LAST, SOMEONE WHO ALTHOUGH DOSEN'T AGREE WITH ME, AT LEAST CAN SEE SENSE. HATTON WILL NEVER BE A GREAT LIKE ALI TYSON MAYWEATHER AND CALZAGHE ETC, I'D PERSONALLY NOT PUT CALZAGHE THERE EITHER, BUT THAT'S ANOTHER STORY. THIS IS MY POINT THOUGH, PEOPLE THINK BECAUSE HE'S HOMEGROWN, THEY CAN CROWN HIM WITH GREATNESS. THIS IS A BRITISH THING IN MY BOOK, THOUGH OBVIOUSLY NOT OTHERS. THE SCOTS CHEERED FOR MARADONA THIS WEEK AS HE WAS THE ONE THAT DESTROYED THE ENGLISH WORLD CUP HOPES BY CHEATING. TIME DOES MOVE ON, BUT DEEP IN THE PREDUDICES OF THE BRITS COLONIAL PAST, IS AN INABILITY TO SEE TRUTH. THEY ARE NOT AS GREAT AS THEY THINK THEY ARE. THE AMERICANS BELIEVE THEY ARE AND HAVE ALSO BEEN PROVEN WRONG.............. YOU ASK McGUIGAN AND THE REST OF THE KNOWLEDGABLE PUNDITS THEIR OPINION AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAME, THEY ARE GOOD FIGHTERS BUT YET TO BE GREAT. McGUIGAN FREQUENTLY SAYS THEY SHOULD RETIRE, AS THEY WILL COME UNSTUCK WITH THE UP AND COMING TALENT. WELL TO ME, YOUNG TALENTED AND AVAILABLE IS ONE SURE WAY TO TEST A BOXER, WHO IS LOOKING FOR BIG "PAST THEIR SELL BY DATE" NAMES.

Tired, if you boxed like you yap then maybe we'd have heard a bit more about your exploits in the ring. However, since we haven't then why not drop it? Of course the majority of Hatton's travelling fans are from Manchester, it's his home city! As for the North vs the South get a life, people are people, the fact that the nation's capital and financial centres are in London would suggest to any moron that it's bound to be a wealthier place than anywhere else in the country but there's no difference whatsoever with regard to good or bad people and the fact that you fall for that @#$% speaks volumes more about you than it does about anyone else.

Just heard the result, well done Ricky, perhaps that will shut the Americans mouth for a while, you are the greatest,

I'VE LIVED IN THE SOUTHEAST AND ALSO THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. NO COMPARISON. THE SOUTH WAS A MUCH BETTER PLACE. NO UNDERHANDEDNESS, NO WHINGEING ABOUT HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVE. THE WEST COAST OF SCOTLAND ARE THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET, EVEN THEY STRUGGLE WITH THE TYPICAL NORTHERN "THE WORLD OWES ME A LIVING" ATTITUDE. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON. THE WORLD DOESN'T OWE YOU A LIVING, SO START WORKING AND BRING SOMETHING TO SOCIETY RATHER THAN SCROUNGING. IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU ALL TALK ABOUT HOW GREAT THE NORTH IS COMPARED TO THE SOUTH, YET MOST OF YOU MUGS LIVE DOWN THERE. UN-EDUCATED??? YOU WORK IT OUT.

I SUPPOSE BEING ON DRUGS OR MENTALLY INCAPACITATED DOES MAKES YOU TIRED TIRED

hatton what a hero he yet again proved how guttless the yanks are under pressure if they cant win a sport by cheating or numbers they are @#$%,once again the masters beat back the colonials

Tired...relax, man! The only Brits who possess ´superiority´ are from, the South East of England. And they hate Mancunians (that old envy at the North´s power during the 17-19th century...which landed more than a hand to what the UK was recently - until London thought it was the dogs´ googlies and boogered up the whole of the UK). Realise you want to wind up people, but thank goodness the judges ruled what they think was right.

THE RUSSIANS ARE INCREDIBLY HARD AND DISCIPLINED ATHLETES. I'VE BEEN BEATEN TWICE BY THE SAME RUSSIAN AND NO EXCUSES. I TRAINED TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY AND FELT I HAD THE TOOLS TO DO IT. I FAILED, NO BIG DEAL. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, REGARDLESS OF HATTONS OBVIOUS HEART, HE IS NO MUG AND PICKING THE RIGHT FIGHTER AT THE RIGHT TIME, IS HATTONS GREATEST ASSET.

tired.......you are an @#$%.45 fights and only 1 loss is why we love ricky hatton,never dodged a fight,whitter was never an option it would have been pointless.i think you are upset because the brits are holding more of the decent belts than you septics,even the russians are smashing you !
