I love this. It shows how Boxing is just strictly business at the end of the day.

[@gerardbiencortes564]

"I don't have a job. I do what I love" -Coach Freddie.

[@fredstah714]

I’m a Manny fan but huge respect to you Mr. Hatton, sir. Hoping your son will be a great fighter like you one day, sir,

[@daniellok30]

I remember when hatton made our champ Kostya Zyu quit, after that fight i knew hatton was a top fighter even when he lost years later he still fought the best, glad he doing coaching now it suits him.

[@eireceltic.5068]

bruce wayne Where are you from. I hope you are not an OZZY? He was from Russia.

[@ryang790]

I didnt like it that he had to beat kostya for the title. Tyszu was one of my favourite fighters ever. I loved it that he used to go to the states and batter the fuck out of all them Dick Wads. Tyszu was a truly sensational fighter.

[@feetthong624]

Ryan G not that good he lost to a druggy mind you he was 41yo

[@3dongs976]

[@tarmac1697]

[@feetthong624]

We get it you're very proud wow Hatton star struck sorry proud

[@stuartoreilly3210]

11:58 quigg is so fast on them feet he disappears

[@ryang790]

He's underrated mate . When he started punching Frampton later on in the fight on the inside attacking the body, Frampton DID NOT like it. That was when I remembered he had spent time at the wild card gym in the states. It was unusual to see a British boxer fighting like that. He knew what he was doing. He was quick to dispel any talk of a rematch lol.

[@feetthong624]

Ryan G hhhmmmmm ummmmmm hhmmmmm I'd say frampton was nervous didn't have a clue

[@jasonjohnson-vv9mr]

"giving it to Frampton from... inside the body.. attacking him.. oooh suits you sir!"

[@ryang790]

haha just seen that ;-]

[@donaneneneighborhood7712]

Collaborating coaching and boxing skills of Roach and Hatton

[@petercay6224]

Hatton is a warrior 1 of the best agreesive fighter..

[@air2391]

soon he is like freddie as a best coach in the world

[@deedansir]

We'll, someone's proud

[@johnelmosadsad4009]

There's only one ricky hatton Walking along Singing his song Walking in a hatton wonderland

[@ryang790]

During the frampton fight, because of the way quigg was taking it to frampton in the later rounds, it reminded me that Quigg had gone out to train at the wild card gym, because boxers over here didnt often fight with that skill and craft on the inside. Its a good match up , cos quigg obviously benefited from his time out there. Frampton didnt like it at all being hit with them body shots constantly and he was quick to downplay a rematch. If only them stupid judges had score most of them early rounds even instead of to frampton cos before round 6 NOTHING HAPPENED Lol. Freddie will love it over here where boxing truly is BIG.

[@chrishardy3473]

Ryan G quigg wasn’t with roach at that point... he was still with Gallagher.

[@markmcdonnell8566]

Ricky Hatton is a legend his team man city are shit lol but what a humble guy he is ,true champion got a lot of respect for him as a boxer ,he ain't a show off he just a normal guy ,and Freddie you rock man great trainer ,great video this

[@margaretrodrigo3782]

he looks like he just woke up

[@kendall_knows_best2872]

Cheesey with quigg behind 😂😂😂😂

[@zzzzzsleeping]

Who will be the next Manny Pacquiao for Freddie ? Anyone?

[@nickyboy27]

i don't think Ricky was proud at all, i didnt hear the word 100 times, only 99. So i've been left unconvinced.

[@adlofheltirchiefadvisortot40]

Ricky and freddie were similar boxers

[@markbalmer5114]

In the future, when people look back at the greats, there will be no Therman or kell brook, no Crawford or lomachenco, there will only be Mayweather and Pacquiao! two of the greatest of all time? Haton stepped up and in with the both of them! not bad for a pom!

[@DontTestTheX]

Just wish Ricky would look up a few synonyms for the word 'proud.' That's all.

[@theopenmindisyouronlymind]

You know

[@robinmangalindan3051]

I watch how you describe your loss to pacquiao...sorry for hating you before..man i hope your son will have a good boxing career

[@soypinoy5251]

Ricky should have hired freddie roach to be his trainener instead of floyd sr

[@jasonbrent4445]

Hold on, is or isn't Ricky very very proud? He needs to make it more clear.

[@theundeadvision]

What happened to Freddie?

[@deankellard1014]

Ricky needs to change his washing powder,itchy scratchy

[@mikimiyazaki]

i like this. roach and hatton shooting the shit respectfully. im american and even though i feel fighters get robbed going to Britain. ive always been a hitman fan and ive had a few british friends that went back to britain that are great people.

[@Potatoshaneko]

The judges are no worse than anywhere else in the world... America, Russia, Germany, Britain etc all have the occasional moment to forget in terms of scorecards, so to single out one is unfair, especially when you consider that arguably the biggest robbery in heavyweight boxing history happened in America(Holyfield vs Lewis).

[@michaelthomas8439]

Miki Miyazaki bet kovalev wishes he fought ward in britain

[@mikimiyazaki]

eLIPHAS3333 american judges are corrupt, but at least its a money thing not a nationalist thing which to me is worse and fighters have been getting robbed more often than not going up against a home town fighter in britain.

[@Potatoshaneko]

Corrupt is corrupt, you can't say "at least it's this kind of corrupt" like it's a good form of corruption, that's just silly. And let's be honest here... If it's a money thing, then it's usually a power thing which usually ends up with things far worse than sense national pride. Regardless of where or why there is corruption in Boxing, it's something that seriously needs to come to a stop. Too many great fighters are not getting celebrated because of bogus referee decisions and under the table judges. The first place we should look for the corruption is the politcal side of it, it's a fucking disgrace world wide.

[@mikimiyazaki]

eLIPHAS3333 i boxed myself so i know how hard it is and to get a victory taken away by some asshole is a travesty, i apologize for not clarifying that that was just my feeling that getting robbed for one reason verse another is better or worse because at the end of the day its the same thing. im convinced that fighters that arent british have been getting robbed coming to britain. ive never picked my favorites based on anything other than what they do in the ring and theres alot of biggoted nationalist pricks in america and britain, but when i watch fights on sky and i believe ifl i get irrate because the commentators are so biased. the other day i watched rosado vs murray and bellew was only talking about what murray was doing well and what he needed to do the entire fight! listen i love the fact that britains a hotbed of boxing and im happy that there helping to keep boxing alive i just dont like that the attitude of the commentators and feel that theres an agenda with some of the judges. i agree though that america is just as corrupt though.

[@manc0079]

But I wonder if he's proud? .. who knows

[@titosilversrayleigh644]

I am more focused on the one doing shadow boxing :-)

[@blvphn4429]

hatton only got two loses from the best since pacquiao. he shoudnt quit early coz only two lose from the best, unlike others who has more loses to unknown boxers. if hatton didnt quit early and fight some boxers before taking a title again, he would really bounce up again fo sure. but its too late now. but its better for his health also, he retire early

[@WesleyJr1590]

blv phn Yeah but outside things. Especially drinking. It takes a boxers soul and after the first life it got to him. I wish he didn't quit early but for what he did I'm glad he did quit early. No clear signs of brain damage and slurred speech. Freddie is an example sitting next to Ricky if he did stay too long. But alcohol and addiction is a terrible terrible thing. Especially being as rich as Ricky was. Drugs and alcohol were totally easier easy too get.

[@secretbillionaire463]

Freddie must have been thinking like "Manny knocked this poor fucker out cold." Lol

[@andoxcv]

hahahaha, Fredy was relevant at that time because he still had the confidence of Manny Pacquiao but when Manny dumped him for his shenanigans with Bob Arum, Fredy started to be irrelevant and sooner will be gone in the limelight. Come on people, Manny made Fredy to be a celebrity not the other way around.....where is Fredy now, he got no fighter who can compete at the highest level. They are just typically bum!!!! Fredy owes his 7 yrs best trainer award to Manny.

[@roelsmasterpiece9986]

if freddie roach is 62 years of age is ricky hatton 59?

[@kevinlamaro2573]

remember when hatton called freddie a cockroach before manny and his fight? lol

[@qwertzsslayer9674]

Freddie speaks much better :) its hard to beleive he has Parkinson for so long

[@theobvu]

father and son. lol

[@jaylucot8781]

2nd round....

[@davidward1621]

Crolla sorry!

[@havoc9926]

hatton,s a fucking legend best pound for pound body puncher ever imo and Freddie is a great coach nice to see them hanging out.hatton should have never ever fought manny he was clearly overtrained and u could see it in his body b4 the fight.not saying he would have won that 1.he should have never taken that fight.for so many reasons.

[@onlyjoetee]

Freddie Roach teaches fighting rather than boxing,I wouldn't go to him if I was a boxer really

[@robertreading4574]

That's strange as Pacman totally out boxed Hatton and made him look like a amateur,, just not in the same league.

[@onlyjoetee]

Robert Reading Pacquiao didn't outbox Hatton he just knocked him out

[@Potatoshaneko]

He outboxed him which allowed him to land concussive blows and then a final sleeper. Pacqiao totally outboxed him, completely!

[@lukaswint7067]

Shame hatton let him self go with them god awful tats, and he bit chubby too:P.

[@kp-dr7tt]

Hatton and Pacquiao are the same age. Let that sink in.

[@empoootko4801]

He became a household name when pacquiao knocked his ass so bad..

[@lfcshanks2017]

Empooot Ko he was household way before that
