Easy read,Hatton is a likeable character and a true warrior which come across in the book.

some big gaps

an enjoyable read but, perhaps obviously, not very objective about the standard of many opponents.
also, there is NO mention of junior witter in this book. what a letdown, i was looking forward to reading hatton's thoughts on why he has avoided this fight throughout his career.
ive been a hatton fan since seeing him box live in donny many years ago. its a good read but some big holes left out....

An easy, enjoyable read

Ive been a big fan a Ricky Hatton for a good few years now, ever since I saw him beat Tony Pepp. Since that day his star has been continuously rising. In June 2005 he conquered the Junior Welterweight division by beating the linear World Champion and top 3 P4P fighter; Kostya Tsyzu. Since then hes gone on to beat Castillo, Collazo, Urango and Maussa, aswell as becoming a 2-weight world champion.
Despite Ricky's brave loss to Floyd Mayweather, Hatton remains a big star in the sport. His talent and aggressiveness in the ring is matched by his likeability out of the ring. His wit, his media and fan-freindly personality has made hin into a hugely popular fighter.
This book is at times, witty, interesting, informative and a pleasant read. One of the best sport books I have read.

There's Only One Ricky Hatton
|
One of the quietest people outside the ring, but in the ring hes one of the Greatest Boxers of the world. This book will tell you about his life inside the ring and out. how he took up boxing, how he's undefeated, how he fell out with frank and about his famouse body punches.
words cannot describe this book, i'm not a reader really but it didnt take me long to finnish it, i found it interesting, witty and amazing in any way you would want a autobiography to be.

There is only one Ricky Hatton!

What an inspiration to millions of fans and whilst most see the very good work Ricky does in the ring, he is equally adept at his charity skills. I enjoyed the book and respect the person.
Coming from the same local area as Ricky I know what an inspiration he has been to many people and I am privileged to say 'have many of the same friends'!
This is an honest and sometimes humorous account of a Northern lad with true dedication and commitment not only to the boxing game but also to a much wider community.
