The fans only don't support me cos of the way I fight, they support me cos of the way I am.
Ricky HattonThe one thing that's hurt in my career is people saying I don't want to come out of Manchester to fight people.
Ricky HattonWinning the IBF title was the greatest night of my life. To give it up outside the ring is truly painful.
Ricky HattonI think everyone is pretty excited about me. I have a style that any fight fan would love. I am a real value-for-money fighter. People want to see me against the elite.
Ricky HattonI have been blowing past the majority of my opponents, so people get the impression of me as an attacking, body punching, and brawler type. I do like to put the pressure on, but I have very underrated boxing skills. I have won nine amateur titles. I had 80 amateur fights, and won 76 if them. You do not get that kind of record without having talent. The good thing is I have not really needed all my talent yet. When I get an opportunity to show that talent, people will start taking me more seriously.
