In This Corner with Ricky Hatton

[@axel151]

Hatton is a beast, never ducked anyone is his career and always went after the best only has 2 losses against 2 of the best that have ever lived!

[@oldcrow9704]

One of my favourite interviews of Ricky

[@cipherion]

Ricky is a class act, future hall of famer. Great video...keep them coming.

[@crazycraiky]

brilliant stuff. its great to hear the hitman talking about the technique that has made him a boxing legend

[@dan32113]

@extradutyfelt1 you"ve got to be honest! Style"s make fights, but more importantly the way a Referee lets that fight evolve is key to the outcome. Joe Cortez, allowed Hatton to fight on the inside against Castillo, but hardly allowed him to do so against Mayweather. So not only was Ricky fighting the best fighter in the world, but the way Cortez acted in the fight also suited Floyd, Ricky never had a chance.

[@chippie74]

1st class..thanks for posting this!!

[@jhshark]

We need more of these awesome videos!

[@dan32113]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna another thing, when Freddie Pendleton was counted out by Hatton, by body shot, he said it was the most pain he had ever felt, Freddie had shared a ring with Roger Mayweather, Frankie Randall, Vince Phillips, Tony Lopez, Jorge Paez, Felix Trinidad & Pernell Whitaker amongst others. But said the body shot Hatton hit him with left him in agony on the canvas! Hatton vs Pendleton is on youtube..

[@London2ATL]

pretty cool...I'll try this when I spar tomorrow if I can remember...he was a good body puncher.

[@VladTepesph]

Very good tips frim Ricky. I can't wait to try that on my classmate. =D

[@SIC4545]

fights back on bro....... i'm american...... i'm definately pulling for Hatton love the guy and the way he fights. but i wouldn't sell Pac Man that short. he's shown he can take a beating and still win. gonna be a tough fight for sure, neither fighter is a pushover

[@obrad79]

instead of come here on this video to learn something from one of the best fighter who ever steped in to ring,ppl come here to bash and talk shit about guy who is having more then impresive score 47-2,what is yours profesional score pathetic little bashers?Thank u Ricky for sharing yours expirience and knowlege with us even if we probably dont deserve it,as mather of fact i know we dont deserve it,it was a privilage

[@gerrygonzaga]

ricky is the man hands down fellas ^_^ the body shot really hurts

[@ingy92]

well said

[@dan32113]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna sods law, Hatton vs Pendleton has vanished from youtube? maybe it was taken down.

[@gangmang1]

good skills

[@MarcusAries]

"London Bridge is falling down . . . falling down falling down . . . falling down. . . Ricky Hatton is falling down. . . by Pacman's Left Hook ^_^

[@joevtr]

Totally agree, I am from the UK so we can get that out of the way first but I genuinely cannot stand Joe Calzaghe as a fighter and I think the way he suddenly got over his fear of travelling to take on faded legends who would have eaten him up in their prime is shameful. I got nothing but respect for Ricky on the other hand who sought out the best fighters.

[@theonlysaltspring]

Ricky got caught with a punch he didn't see.

[@dan32113]

@extradutyfelt1 if you don"t understand how a referee can influence a fight, i can"t help you! Joe Cortez was biased against Hatton. He shouted break twice as many times in the first 4rds in the Mayweather fight, than he did in the fight Hatton had with Castillo! Thats just a fact...

[@kyleinaction]

Tszyu, Malignaggi (he can't be a scrub for Hatton AND a big win for Khan; he's a good win for anyone), and Castillo are not easy wins. I don't think people understand what "over-rated" means. No one ever, ever, rated him above Mayweather or Pac. But that doesn't mean he still isn't a beast. The welter-weight division today has as many talented fighters as the heavyweight division in the 60's. And no one made it out of there undefeated.

[@petshop112i]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna José Luis "El Temible" Castillo unknown?? Wow!

[@youn3619]

Ricky Hatton !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@papoose1223]

its goin to be a great fight!

[@kazap1]

Well said. Bums? He's thought world class fighters.

[@Saintalmac]

Hatton is a good boxer, with a 47 - 2 record, he is good.

[@wahhuhyeh]

its funny that he said he likes to set his body shots up with jabs wen he's never led with the jab in his life LOL

[@mariacarmelarant]

Yeah, Lots of people dont know you here in England. Pacman has an audience in the philippines, America and Filipinos all over the world.

[@dan32113]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna Hatton was recognised as the Ring number 1 at lightwelter weight when he beat Tszyu, in Kostas previous fight he smashed the number 2 in the division Sharmba mitchell in 3rds! So he wasn"t "shot" when he faced Ricky. Hatton is best body puncher of last 25yrs, how? he has more count outs than any other champion, so he didn"t just stop them with body shots, he left them on the floor for the full 10 count! Hatton broke 3 of Castillos ribs...

[@sellobic]

how are you doing chuggerboom?

[@IrOnMiKe151]

haha ur really funny!!!!!!!!

[@drav6]

thats good scientific boxing

[@petshop112i]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna Luis Collazo, Juan Urango, Vince Phillips... and, let me quote you: "But the REST are virtual unknowns..." The rest includes Castillo. Greetings.

[@TornSilencio]

this man needs a rematch with MAyweather and Pacqiao

[@skida3]

you dont know what ya talkin about hatton is a legend he gets the job done. its not like fake ass american wwe or wwf or any of that shite

[@YeowPower]

WHAT I SED WHAT!

[@knowellton]

That will happen only if the great continent of Gondwanaland will appear again between Europe and America. Meaning, that is beyond your wildest dream. Even the combinations mentioned by Hatton cannot be noticed in his last fights.

[@Hs.FilmStudy]

The best Brit is Calzaghe, quite obviously. But after that, it IS Ricky. It ain't Witter (although he does deserve to get in there with Ricky)... and it ain't the likes of Alex Arthur or C Woods. You COULD make a case for David Haye, but really.. who is there at Cruiserweight and Heavyweight? They're thin-dry divisions. Haye would get better fights out of LHWs moving UP to Cruiser. At HW, there's only a handful of boxers who will be competitive w/ Haye. Klitchsko-Haye will be gr8.

[@macciocapatonda88]

IT WILL BE MARQUEZ

[@TornSilencio]

@aZnsOnLinE i dont understand.....Tony Jaa is a actor AND a martial artist.....so why would he not be a fighter...just because he is an actor also does not mean he cant fight...its just like saying Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Chuck Norris cant fight because they are actors...its very insulting to say the least...

[@dabamie]

that entrance song of ricky is nice if its played when he was knocked out..hes sleeping too tight..

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

@kyleinaction But the rest are virtual unknowns, and it doesnt justify hes 47-2 record.

[@IIZ00LII]

He would fall into a "coma state" because of the boredom of waiting for youre slow ass punches to arrive.

[@bandamardu]

exactly! amen even pac man has lost 3 times shit happens i lost a 10 notes once i lost a phone lol well done to pac tho that was some surgical shit man very accurate it showed who did there homework cos roach even said that hatton swings back then comes forward at that point pac threw a shot n hatton was not expecting it hatton was way to nervous in that fight u can see it in the walk up where as pac was a cool as a cucumber

[@petshop112i]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna I guess the point here is: you don't like Hatton, and I do. The results, numbers and stats in boxing (like in many other activities), depend of the achievements, not deserving. And you could speak whatever you want, but that doesn't change mine or people who like Hatton's mind. With all due respect for you and your point of view. Greetings.

[@thatjamicanguy]

@cheebah what you say is very true, but Ricky Hatton right now can only go so far fighting the quality of competition of top P4P fighters, he WILL lose. Look at Cotto, only 2 losses, yet he's at the end of his rope. If he fights top P4P fighters, he's just going to lose unless he learns to fix all his flaws

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

@petshop112i anyone else?

[@Orangewind]

Jimmy Wilde

[@ADZBOY01]

i like hatton always have,, and i dont think he,s over the hill yet. i jus think he needs to tweek his defense, keep his composure,, stay patient. coz wen your at top rank with the likes of mayweather & pacquiao they will tear ppl apart if they do wat hatton did. they can c it coming from a mile.......hes jus become bit too predictable in his style and lazy wit his defense.....still the best british boxer we have, i think

[@TylerDurdenK7]

Everybody loses eventually. There is no shame in losing to the best. The real losers are the people that only accept fights they know they are going to win. It is not about if you lose but how you overcome it. Embrace the loss, learn from it. Anybody calling Ricky a bad fighter for losing to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao must be brain dead or just plain right stoopid.

[@kksf1979]

Will be an event vs pacman....Just not sure Rickys punch bag punch can walk through the same punches as he did will Kyosta T!

[@hamzah429]

and its a shame he didnt use any of these skills against mayweather.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Ricky looks so thin!

[@leonwelchthesex]

i honestly can say even though hatton got bitched by mayweather that he will sit manny down!

[@GiganticPeach]

you say that but would you fight him? you couldnt even do your gran over

[@blahblah55555666666]

panther09999 is just insecure

[@zentan16psi]

he should fight david diaz instead! they both have the same styles and styles like that will not work obviously if u have an opponent like pacquiao.

[@cyphercount]

JUST ENJOY UR RETIREMENT RICKY :)

[@freezhollywood]

loser?he loses to matches and the man gets bashed he's 47-2 so ur telling me that's a bad record

[@bri888]

nope it's not a bad record but any guy who pulls out the race card deserves it:)

[@gossyandy4]

sssssssssh! u need to read bout him on wikipedia m8! u'd get KO'd in 1st round with the Hitman so sssssssh!

[@TornSilencio]

@aZnsOnLinE Well during this past week ive actually come to believe that what you say is true. I only said that to ddbd because he was being an ass. But im just saying, i know boxing takes skill but i see people that have skill as people like Tony Jaa who have variety in their arsenal. Which is why i said i dont think Mayweather is the most skilled fighter in his Generation

[@MrRJ2K10]

those style never worked on manny

[@Drogers2009]

NO to the comrback....why! Paquiao RULES im afraid to say.

[@fil79]

sorry Ricky but that ain't gonna work against Manny. :)

[@GilbertSyndrome]

@SmellsLikeNirvanna How can you enjoy the music of Nirvana and then have the gall to call someone overrated? haha. Hatton never ducked anyone, he lost to two of the best, you can't say the same for most fighters right now including Pac and May.

[@MrTClubber]

What a dirty fighter Rick Hatton he is justifying cheap shots

[@intothisall]

ricky shitman hatton

[@extradutyfelt1]

ricky hatton seem´s like a cool guy, down to earth, no inflated go..it´s unfortunate that he got hammered by floyd and pacman..

[@extradutyfelt1]

@dan32113 I suppose the fact that, mayweather was landing pot shot´s on hatton all night, who was coming in straight a head, with no defense or head movement, has nothing to do with it..

[@mrsin22]

mate check his record, and how many belts he's had he really aint a loser., i'll be backing him on his come back he owes me 15 quid after that shit performance, waste of money fight with the pac man. The perfect trainer 4 him has to be kevin Rooney.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@truboricua]

Hatton always looks good in training but when he fights, all that goes out the window and he just bum rushes and holds. if he actually did what he does in training, he'd be a lot better than Hit n Hold Hatton.

[@Batmanananana]

2 losses and 1 against a cheater!!!

[@extradutyfelt1]

@dan32113 no offense, but it seem´s like you´re making up, unreal excuses.

[@gatorsjf]

Loss's to Maywhether and Pacquiao....both best pound for pound fighters in the world....who else has beatin him???? Sounds like a loser too me

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

@bryz2034 maybe i should fight 100 ten year olds, win them all and say my record is 100-0. Yea Hatton is a better fighter than me, but all i said was he is overrated and fought mostly virtual unknowns. Which is almost true, his two loses were against top dogs, and he lost really quickly, by knockout, walk in the park for manny and floyd. Btw, my name is a weird al song, not nirvana. Im neither a big fan of both, so yea bryz20315435.

[@ButchersBoys]

@TheeNameIsBrandon oh so that means that mayweather and manny are overratted because they beat a bum like hatton...it all makes sense now....2 of the best boxers in the world beat hatton so he`s over rated hahahha

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

@petshop112i im sorry but Jose Castillo would only qualify being a non virtual unknown. Ricky Hatton has never deserved the unbeaten streak, and he doesnt deserve such a proud record of 47-2. He is just an immensly overrated boxer.

[@YeowPower]

kostya was over the hill ricky is nothing but a tought club fighter and hes style is so boring to watch punch hold punch hold punch hold

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

Hes a pretty overrated fighter, he can just beat the easier opponents. Once he comes against top dogs he loses. And hes only came against 2 of them, so 2 losses.

[@hamzah429]

yh ok fair point but hatton is shit, proved it in his last fight against lazcano..unlike mayweather who is unstoppable. And actually i think mayweather is an entertaining fighter. Hatton is gd but i think his time has come to put the gloves away.
