    I have almost forgotten how much of a beast Hatton really was.

    Great tribute Reed.

    Just for clarity though, Hatton was a supporter of Manchester City, Manchester United are their city rivals.

    I didn't watch the vid. Did REED call Hatton a United fan? lol lol

    Ricky's rolling in his grave.

    For context REED - that's like calling a Cowboys fan an Eagles fan.

    Thank You, Sincerely, for Pointing this Out Bruh...REED Will Be Pinning a Correction in the Comments Section of the Video. Pretty MAJOR Oversight on REED's Part and APOLOGIES to Yourself and Other Hatton Fans....

    Definitely Wasn't Intentional, But it Was IGNORANT AF...

    My Bad...



    REED:cheers:

    Ricky Hatton, proud Galatasaray supporter, passed this month.

    He destroyed many with those body shots. Making Castillo take the full 10 count was shocking to many.

    True, he kinda burned fast but was very ferocious at his best. But him not facing Witter was pretty shitty

    Yeah the "i dont want to reward him" excuse was beyond pathetic and put a stain on his career

    The worst thing I ever saw written about Hatton was that he was a "Manchurian".

    No surprise. Just confirmation of what we all already knew.

    Thanks for the update.

    Further details will no doubt follow but has there been word of an autopsy/post mortem?

    I wonder if CTE will get mentioned albeit my own feeling it wasn't related to that.

    CTE is always blamed whenever a boxer, wrestler, or American football player offs themselves or commits any act of violence. In some cases it certainly IS the culprit, but not in this case I dont think. Hatton likely had clinical depression, not sure if it was officially diagnosed or not.

    My question is did he leave a suicide note?

    My guess would be no, sounds like a spontaneous act. His manager who found him said he "didn't think it was deliberate". I don't believe that tbh, the vast majority of suicides are impulsive, but that quote would obviously suggest that there wasn't a note at the scene.

    Hate hearing that he committed suicide. He had some demons that he’s been dealing with for years now. Only wish he had the help and support when he really needed it.

    Rest in power champ.

    Even with help and support, if you dont wanna live and you wanna take steps to end it, no one can really stop it.

    I heard she's been living in Manchester for a while but that could be a coincidence.
