How sad. Always seemed a proper genuine guy. I think he liked the party life as well.

 

[Hibee Kev]

Sad news, always seemed like a really sound guy. Scaled the heights at world level and only lost to 2 of the GOATs of the sport. RIP Hitman

 

[Greenmachine]

Sad news indeed.

Apart from being a great fighter and champion, he seemed a decent lad who was proud of where he came from and the community therein.

RIP Ricky.

 

[Hattie]

[EH17 Jimmy]

RIP Ricky. Peace now I hope.

 

[Davy]

Another one too early.

Shame, he seemed a good sort.
RIP

 

[Westside Green]

Such a sound guy who has lost his biggest battle. Not quite as good as a couple of all time greats but some fighter. RIP

Sad to read this news, as others have said, Ricky seemed like a decent guy. The police not treating it as suspicious. :cryy:

Rest in Peace, Ricky.

 

[1875]

Ach, one of the good guys too. Proper boxer too.

RIP Ricky, I hope you find peace.

Phil Foden pays perfect tribute to Ricky Hatton's memory in emotionally weighted Manchester derby

A Manchester derby cloaked in sorrow was illuminated by local hero Phil Foden as Manchester City crushed Manchester United. Ricky Hatton would have loved it.

RIP Ricky Hatton.

 

[Hammi]

Was shocked to find out he was training to fight again this year!?

He seemed like an every day guy that just happened to be an elite boxer.

RIP Ricky!

Always seemed a great guy who was proud of where he came from. Lost to two of the best, but had a bigger heart than most which got him through. Always remember his interview after Floyd Mayweather destroyed him when he said cheekily "well, he got lucky". RIP Hitman.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

The time he entered the ring in his fat suit was a good un.

He seemed a decent lad. R.I.P Ricky.

My laddie and I bumped into Ricky and his then girlfriend Claire Sweeny (her that used to be in Brookside) when down in Liverpool for the weekend last October. He was more than happy to have photos with us and came across as a nice bloke. Really sad news, RIP fella

Just seen on the news today Ricky died from hanging. Sad indeed.
