Can someone please fix the championship title box for the ring magazine fighter of the year? I tried but it wouldnt work. Scapone

necessary changes...

there are a few parts of this article that dont seem correct to me. firstly, to say that Hatton hasn't been the same since the Collazo fight is very POV, and not remotely verifiable, especially as he has had only one bout since that fight. also, i feel the sentences relating to him receiving an MBE and him liking to drink guiness should be separated, as they are not related. also the wording regarding the jonathan ross interview doesn't seem suitable for an encyclopedia, perhaps 'killer left hook' would sound more suitable being 'powerful left hook'? i'll check back in a few days and if the changes haven't been made and there are no objections i will make them. thanks Zero187 05:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hatton vs. Lewis

"He is seen by many as one of the greatest British fighters of all-time"

Does British mean by race? Lennox Lewis often breaks the top ten list of greatest heavies of all time. Hatton hasn't even really beaten any great fighters in their prime and he's just starting to make a name for himself in the US. At this time I really don't think this sentence can be supported, unless you mean racially British. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.56.207.16 (talk) 05:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he is seen as one of the greatest boxers with British nationality ever. I don’t think he can be considered one of the greatest boxers ever, yet. If he defeats Floyd Mayweather Jr, then I think he will be one of the greatest. P.s. I think he will win and prove to be one of the greatest ever —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.88.80 (talk) 01:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:C3c61b8746.jpg

Image:C3c61b8746.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:52, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Height, Weight etc?

Ok I came to the page about Ricky Hatton after seeing a picture of him between the two WWE wrestlers Batista and The Undertaker and was wondering just how tall Ricky Hatton actually is? However this is not on the page so I am suggesting that maybe there could be this and a few more statistics like his weight, year of debut etc in the infobox at the top of the article.195.157.148.2 08:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hatton Wonderland

I think someone needs to change the lyrics of the song. I am positive the tune is

There's only one Ricky Hatton, There's only one Ricky Hatton, Walking along, Singing a song, Walking in a Hatton wonderland.
