As a massive boxing fan from the north of England, where Ricky is from I would like to say thanks to you Jay, coming from the country of the great Manny Pacquiao it means a lot! Both of these great boxers came from the working classes and have never forgotten their roots! I love them both, Ricky being amongst the very best in his weight class although I have to say if forced too, that Manny had the edge. This is no insult to Ricky because Manny is one of the best pound for pound fighters of all time!
@Trash picking Pete A typical comment from a yank with a big head who, no doubt has never stepped into a ring in his life. So, Trash talking Pete, go fuck yourself. As for British boxers being losers you obviously have no knowledge of boxing history. ask that overrated clown Detony Wilder about losing! Tyson Fury showed him what boxing is about!
I hope hatton reads this. You're a legend of your own. You fought them fairly. Believe in your own legacy! I salute you. Love from the Philippines to the Pride of British people.
You only love him because Pacquiao beat him. No love for all the ones who beat Pacquiao specially Mayweather and Ugas. You guys hate them with passion.
Roy Fokker nigga asian don’t raisin. That’s why pacman is best. Floyd just likes fight people outside the ring more than in the ring. He caused his ex’s death cause he beat the shit outta her then got her addicted to pills. The fuck kinda person is that? Oh yeah a POS
@MAGURIX I agree with you from African America. Great man, Great fighter. Good brother, stay safe Ricky & all your fans. I felt the ref was in your way also.
my dad was actually friends with Ricky and has always said he was a nice guy and looking at his fights, I have to respect Hatton. was never scared to fight and gave it his best. RESPECT.
Dean Tongue that takes nothing away from him, he fought two of the greatest boxers of all time and lost to them which isn’t surprising as im not saying he was one of the greatest of all time, he was an amazing boxer who was a genuine guy which is why people loved him.
"No disgrace in losing to 2 all time greats." no, only the fact he shot his mouth off leading up the Pacquiao fight saying easy a win it would be. Then, two rounds later...
billy trained him. in the right style that worked for Hatton, hes a gritty brawler type of fighter. Mayweather trained him to be pretty which just didn't work for him.
don rump it truly didn’t matter if he stayed with him or not, Mayweather was always on another level than all his opponents and truly is the history of his boxing because of his ring iq. He was an expert in and out of the ring and he knew exactly how to read an opponent on the fly and take away their strengths. He would have taken away Hatton’s strengths no matter what like he did with every other boxer in his career.
@@James_Edward59, Don Rump isn't talking about Mayweather Jr., he's talking about his Dad. There was a time when Hatton Hired Floyd's Dad to train him. Floyd Sr. trained Hatton for Malinaggi fight & the Pacquiao fight.
not every single man takes a loss the same way..it is on their genes but i hope he will be overcome and just be known as one of the english boxers heroes
as an Aussie I remember thinking that Kostya Tszyu should have retired before the Ricky fight and when I sat at the pub to watch the fight it was with a heavy heart, total respect for Ricky as a boxer and a person.
@@brianmarson3427 he fought 2 strong opponents before facing Pacman at jr. Welterweight, lazcano and malignaggi.. he became IBO Jr. Welterweight champion after beating lazcano and ring magazine champion after defeating malignaggi..
Hatton never backed down from a toe to toe battle...but Manny and Floyd was on a different level...floyd was so talented he knew every shot he threw and what shot would be coming back..very smart fighter off all time
Hatton brought the best out of floyd... floyd was determined to hit him with that check left hook. He knew that was the answer to Hatton being so aggressive. He threw it all night until he landed it flush
@@christopherlee4181 Hatton was the type of fighter Floyd loves face. An aggressive almost brawling type style, with far slower hand speed, slower footwork and a head with little movement. Watch Floyd's fight with Balovdir. This was a practice run for Hatton. Although Hatton had more skill
@@D1Snr naw bro, Hatton and bald are different. Hatton had great foot speed always has.. he's just not as skilled. You can go back and watch the fight where Emanuel compliments his foot speed.
some may say you made a mark in boxing history as defeated by the two greatest boxers of your time (arguably of all times) but man... you still made a mark - win or lose - where everyone could only wish to be in your shoes. you're great. nobody can take that away from you.

Absolute legend of British boxing who should feel no shame in losing to floyd and manny whatsoever.he took on two all time greats,and had a brilliant career regardless.

Raised in Manila, huge Pacquiao fan, but I've got so much love for Ricky. My second favorite manc next to Karl and my second favorite Ricky next to Gervais.
This is man is True Warrior, always fought with his heart on his sleeve. I have fond memories of watching him box while i was growing up. What an absolute Legend,Thanks for the memories Ricky.
@Paul Rogers i think witter cared for that fight more than anybody else. i mean it would've been a decent fight but it was clear witter wanted that big money fight.
Manny and Floyd are two legends. They’re in a class of their own. No one has even came close to their greatness in terms of the peak they reached during their primes and their longevity. No else has done what they did since they started dominating since the late 90s except maybe Canelo? Although I think Canelo is still a step below.

I'm from Philippines but Ricky hattons style is a freaking ravage bull.... you gotta be scared of hatton when his nearly on hug moment because your midsection should be ready for punishment and u need to air up your lungs if you cannot your lights out.... Ricky is absolutely monster on the ring
What a bloke! Well and truly makes the bridge between the ordinary and the elite look so small. Down to earth, honest and decent guy. Would love to live through his fights again.
I read somewhere the other day someone say, “don’t let what you’re good at define you. You got so much more to offer this world than just what you’re good at.” Very true cause it’s so easy to be gassed up by yourself and others because of what you’re good at and then when that fails the fall is hard.
Thanks for the special memories Ricky 😊 getting up early hours in morning watching those American fights and ITV/Sky fights were some of my favourite memories 👍 That Left to the body to this day is one of the best punches in boxing 😂 he was throwing the same shot in the Amateurs at 10 😂
@Trash picking Pete Oh yeah! Typical British losers! That is why I could still remember Tyson Fury beating Deontay Wilder's ass twice!!! 😅😅😅 Damn Typical British boxers fighting tomato cans! 😂😂😂
Ricky is a down to earth guy that was a very good boxer who unfortunately was in an era that produced probably the best boxer ever Manny... he was afraid of no one and is a nice guy and should be very proud to have won his titles he is a great example for this country and the world and to boxing.
Hard to hear he fell into depression and thought on suidice. It is sad not achieving what you wanted so much but sometimes life is unfair. Hands down to this man. Brutal honesty.
What a most enjoyable interview from a humble champion and thank you Ricky. As a Manny Pacquiao fan, your humility and grace and heart endears you to all of us boxing fans and you will be missed. Thank you so much for your insights And making this video
You only love him because Pacquiao beat him. No love for all the ones who beat Pacquiao specially Mayweather and Ugas. You guys hate them with passion.
Really wish the best to Ricky...Not many people really give their all toward something, for fear of failure or being judged etc etc. This dude wasn't the most talented boxer, but he worked his heart out and achieved so much. I hope he can enjoy his life now. He has zero to be ashamed of. He should only be proud.
fun to watch back in the days... its just that mayweather and pacquiao were simply a notch above him... plus he’s got a lot of wear & tear in the first place due to his fighting style
Great to hear from Ricky and to see that he's back on an even keel, after all the trauma. This was one of the best Ringside Specials ever. Thanks for uploading - I liked it and subscribed.
Absolutely love this legend. It's so true about Cortez, his performance as a referee that night was appalling. He didn't allow Ricky to fight his fight. He was clearly protecting Floyd. I honestly believe if Ricky was allowed to work on the inside, the result could have been very different.
Cortez was infuriating that night, he did everything possible to protect Floyd and to break Hatton mentally. That said, I still feel Mayweather would have beaten Hatton if the ref was fair. It would have been much closer though, would have been a decision and not a knockout, and it would have been more like 7-5 or 8-4 UD. But the fact that it was in Vegas where there's always controversy, I could see it being a split decision with two cards 9-3 Mayweather and one card 7-5 Hatton, generating hype, demand and revenue for a rematch.
@@antonio8904100 I do hear what you are saying Anthony but I honestly think every fighter has a boogie man and Hatton was Floyds. Everytime Hatton got inside, Floyd was powerless, he couldn't handle it. If Cortez let it go, Hatton could have easily hurt him and that would have been a Floyd we have never seen. When it comes to this level, the difference between them is millimetres.
@@paulcuddy4348 True. One thing that is undeniable is that without Cortez or a Mayweather protecting ref, the outcome of the fight would have been very different. Btw I hate Cortez, terrible ref who shouldn't have been allowed into the ring.
@@antonio8904100 watch the fight again & count how many time hatton was allowed to hit Floyd behind the head with no warning at all. He’s knit picking, I understand but theirs he got away with too. Regardless Floyd was way to skilled for hatton. Epic fight none the least still
@@paulcuddy4348 he got knocked out from a check hook. Which means he was trying to come in on floyd & he was getting caught all night with them. He was bound to get knocked out from it regardless. Would letting him fight ruff & on the inside change the fight. Yes! For sure. Would he have still got knocked out yes!
Floyd's dad spent one--year training Ricky Hatton to fight Pacquiao. Then Hatton got knocked out in less than 2 round by Pacquaio. Floyd's dad has been salty with Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach ever since.
@@54dbruno yeah... i remember floyd Sr keep telling to hatton "keep your hands up, man KEEP. YOUR. HANDS. UP!" got knock down the round after because he was still getting is hand down...
This is a stupid comment simply because it takes years of hard work , dedication and focus to master the Mayweather style of boxing Also Hatton was stuck In his ways of his to fight Hatton isn't a technical boxer he's a great Brawler but not a boxer which is why Manny took advantage of him early
floyd's dad told hattan during the pacquaio fight to do what he was taught in training and he didn't and he lost. didn't matter tho if he did follow instructions pacman still would have knocked him out.

Thanks for the special memories Ricky 😊 getting up early hours in morning watching those American fights and ITV/Sky fights were some of my favourite memories 👍 That Left to the body to this day is one of the best punches in boxing 😂 he was throwing the same shot in the Amateurs at 10 😂
Ricky talking about Joe Cortez being biased is "REAL TALK".
@Trash picking Pete
Prick
@Trash picking Pete Oh yeah! Typical British losers! That is why I could still remember Tyson Fury beating Deontay Wilder's ass twice!!! 😅😅😅
Damn Typical British boxers fighting tomato cans! 😂😂😂
Trash picking Pete. Typical American. You buy into all that patriotic bullshit they teach you in school.
Yaaaawwwwnnnnn......
Dude fight Mayweather in his own backyard. What you wanted your own referee to, stop complaining a take the L gracefully smh
Ricky is a down to earth guy that was a very good boxer who unfortunately was in an era that produced probably the best boxer ever Manny... he was afraid of no one and is a nice guy and should be very proud to have won his titles he is a great example for this country and the world and to boxing.
Ricky not all people have the opportunity to fought 2 best boxers. that's a big accomplishment, I commend your honesty.
Can't wait for the "Hitman" movie. What a film that would be.
lethal weapon lowkey think Tom Holland Could maybe play him if they ever thought of doing a film on him
I want to direct that
A lot of cocaine and hookers
In my eyes, this man is a true champion. Top man Ricky.
Ricky "the hitman" Hatton. My boyhood hero!
What a humble bloke my all time number 1boxer to come from the UK a true legend
We love you here in the Philippines Ricky! You were a great fighter and one of my favorite fighters
Hard to hear he fell into depression and thought on suidice. It is sad not achieving what you wanted so much but sometimes life is unfair. Hands down to this man. Brutal honesty.
Panoodin mo inasar ni floyd senior pati sya si fredie roach at Pacquiao before fight HAHAHHAA
Went to the Malignaggi fight what a 5 days in Vegas that was, especially having 100 dollars on Ricky winning inside distance at 5/1
What a most enjoyable interview from a humble champion and thank you Ricky. As a Manny Pacquiao fan, your humility and grace and heart endears you to all of us boxing fans and you will be missed. Thank you so much for your insights And making this video
Great comment.
You only love him because Pacquiao beat him. No love for all the ones who beat Pacquiao specially Mayweather and Ugas. You guys hate them with passion.
Hat's off to Ricky ! Such a genuine and funny person, no wonder he has so many fans also like Manny.
What a wonderfully honest, reflective interview. Hats off to Hatt on
Mad respect to Ricky from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️❤️
philippines again what's going on haha
Really wish the best to Ricky...Not many people really give their all toward something, for fear of failure or being judged etc etc. This dude wasn't the most talented boxer, but he worked his heart out and achieved so much. I hope he can enjoy his life now. He has zero to be ashamed of. He should only be proud.
fun to watch back in the days... its just that mayweather and pacquiao were simply a notch above him... plus he’s got a lot of wear & tear in the first place due to his fighting style
Yeah your exactly right
Respect to Hatton. A legend of his own. You have a great place in boxing history.
Great to hear from Ricky and to see that he's back on an even keel, after all the trauma. This was one of the best Ringside Specials ever. Thanks for uploading - I liked it and subscribed.
Absolutely love this legend. It's so true about Cortez, his performance as a referee that night was appalling. He didn't allow Ricky to fight his fight. He was clearly protecting Floyd. I honestly believe if Ricky was allowed to work on the inside, the result could have been very different.
Cortez was infuriating that night, he did everything possible to protect Floyd and to break Hatton mentally. That said, I still feel Mayweather would have beaten Hatton if the ref was fair. It would have been much closer though, would have been a decision and not a knockout, and it would have been more like 7-5 or 8-4 UD. But the fact that it was in Vegas where there's always controversy, I could see it being a split decision with two cards 9-3 Mayweather and one card 7-5 Hatton, generating hype, demand and revenue for a rematch.
@@antonio8904100 I do hear what you are saying Anthony but I honestly think every fighter has a boogie man and Hatton was Floyds. Everytime Hatton got inside, Floyd was powerless, he couldn't handle it. If Cortez let it go, Hatton could have easily hurt him and that would have been a Floyd we have never seen. When it comes to this level, the difference between them is millimetres.
@@paulcuddy4348 True. One thing that is undeniable is that without Cortez or a Mayweather protecting ref, the outcome of the fight would have been very different. Btw I hate Cortez, terrible ref who shouldn't have been allowed into the ring.
@@antonio8904100 watch the fight again & count how many time hatton was allowed to hit Floyd behind the head with no warning at all. He’s knit picking, I understand but theirs he got away with too. Regardless Floyd was way to skilled for hatton. Epic fight none the least still
@@paulcuddy4348 he got knocked out from a check hook. Which means he was trying to come in on floyd & he was getting caught all night with them. He was bound to get knocked out from it regardless. Would letting him fight ruff & on the inside change the fight. Yes! For sure. Would he have still got knocked out yes!
Amazing interview, Ricky is a top man!
Floyd's dad spent one--year training Ricky Hatton to fight Pacquiao. Then Hatton got knocked out in less than 2 round by Pacquaio.
Floyd's dad has been salty with Pacquiao's coach Freddie Roach ever since.
Ricky didn't follow the fight plan in either fight... That's why he lost
@@54dbruno yeah... i remember floyd Sr keep telling to hatton "keep your hands up, man KEEP. YOUR. HANDS. UP!"
got knock down the round after because he was still getting is hand down...
This is a stupid comment simply because it takes years of hard work , dedication and focus to master the Mayweather style of boxing Also Hatton was stuck In his ways of his to fight Hatton isn't a technical boxer he's a great Brawler but not a boxer which is why Manny took advantage of him early
floyd's dad told hattan during the pacquaio fight to do what he was taught in training and he didn't and he lost. didn't matter tho if he did follow instructions pacman still would have knocked him out.
Thanks sky, need more of the classic ringside episodes and boxing gold
I suffer bad from depression and this has inspired me
Especially when he says it’s not just about him it’s about his family aswell👍
Here we have a honest fair man! Great fighter with a massive heart!
Ricky is one of the goat brit fighters if not the best. Unfortunately for him he was around at a time the 2 best to ever do it were champions.
Calzaghe leagues above
@@jamescarr4662 yes Joe is way better than Hatton
RICKY HATTON "THE BODY SHOT GUY" THE LEGEND
Gee what a character. He can talk the leg off a chair. No brain damage for this champ. Love his honesty.
There's only one Ricky Hatton 🇬🇧 🥊 🐐
