    Only 46, no age at all. I hope there wasn't any ill play invovled.

    He'll be remembered as one of the most popular boxers in history. The support he took to fights in America was unpresidented. He also came across as a very genuine and humble man.

    Blimey.  Wasnt he in training for a comeback-come-exhibition in the not too distant future or have I imagined that?!

    RIP.
    You're right, he was supposed to be fighting in Dubai in early December.

    Not a boxing fan particularly but Ricky Hatton always seemed a very likeable person and I followed his career closer than most other boxers.  RIP. How sad at such a young age.

    Choked me up a bit this one, as seemed way too young. Been a rough week of passings. 

    May your troubles be over now champ as others have said boxing was the one thing he couldn’t replace in his life.

    To this day, I still say he was robbed against Mayweather.

    His corner threw in the towel IIRC?

    RIP - 46 is no age at all 🙁

    So sad. Thought he was coming out the other side.  RIP Ricky. Thanks for all of the good nights you provided! 
  • StigStig
    Thought he was older than 46. Still far too young. RIP

    Working class hero. 
    Saw him vs Mayweather in Vegas. The number of fans that travelled for him was incredible. 

    RIP. 
    Yep. Was there as well.

    It’s sad that this doesn’t surprise me. Many troubled blokes around and I hope him speaking up has helped plenty of others if not himself.

    RIP Hitman.

    People complained about the ref at the time allowing zero holding.

    RIP.

    Wasn’t there talk about him going back in the ring recently?

     Only after the god awful officiating of Joe Cortez who pretty much kept Hatton away from Mayweather for the first 5 rounds! Probably as he was paid to do.

    The ref didn’t help. But he was well beaten. 
    RH was as good as he could possibly be - but was beaten that night by a generational fighter. 
    There was no shame in it. 
    RIP.

    I’m pretty sure Pep Guardiola had a genuine tear in his eye for the tribute there.

    Shocked and gutted by this. A true boxing legend of our era. I’ll never forget that Mayweather fight. Not just the fight, but felt like an entire nation was behind him. RIP.
