I think that headband and that brylcreem and that gel on his hair will do him no good should we get it on.
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 HattonI'll go gentle on him, ... I promise not to rough him up too much. I just think him saying stuff like that is just him. He's like the Junior Witter of America, he hasn't got a good word to say about anyone expect himself. Personality wise, he's very different to me, that's for sure.
Ricky HattonI had to come to the United States to prove myself. I fought for a long time in England and a lot of people thought I was a protected fighter.
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.
