Ricky Hatton RIP

Yeah, he knocked it on the head.

Good choice I think. Fair play to him though. Tough old game is boxing and he had the bollocks to give it a go.

99.9% of armchair fans would shit themselves if they actually had to step through the ropes for real. Takes some insane fortitude to get in and fight in front of an arena and thousands/millions watching at home, no matter your level.

Thought he was improving every fight to be fair to him
 
Just watched his documentary. Very very sad. Not sure whether his dad ripped him off or not, but he never seemed to get over losing Billy Graham from his corner.

Shame that he got to he world champion but deemed himself a failure for losing to 2 of the GOAT fighters
 
Does anyone know if this will be televised or if there will be a big screen outside the cathedral itself showing it?
 
Drove through Hyde tonight to drop my daughter home after work and there's loads of blue bunting, city flags, Ricky Hatton flags and city scarfs out along the way. Saw him in a lot of his earlier fights and have a great photo holding one of his belts with a city flag behind us. Still doesn't feel right that he's not here. I said to Mrs 2112 I don't think I've ever heard a single bad word or comment from anyone about him before and after his death. He was just liked by everyone from all walks of life and that was the measure of the man. RIP Blue.
