Why he might be annoying:

    His entrance song before matches is 'Blue Moon.'
    He listed Thomas 'Hit Man' Hearns as one of his idols.
    He is sometimes known as 'Ricky FATTON' for his reputation of weighing as much as 180 pounds when he is not training prior to a fight.
    He lost two important fights: One with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and another with Manny Pacquiao.
    In his fight with Mayweather, he lost points for allegedly hitting Mayweather, Jr. in the back while he was resting.
    He lost his bout with Pacquiao via a knockout.
    He cut his fingers while working in his father's carpet business.
    He fathered a child out of wedlock from a previous relationship.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He proved to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world when he defeated Kostya Tszyu (June 5, 2005).
    He was trained by Floyd Mayweather, Sr. (the father of the famous boxer).
    He is a staunch supporter of 'The Village News,' a local newspaper created by children who are impoverished.
    After his bout with Mayweather, Jr., Mayweather said that he 'is one tough fighter. He is still a champion in my eyes and I'd love to see him fight again.'
    Mayweather further went to say, 'Ricky Hatton is probably one of toughest competitors I've faced. I hit him with some big ones but he kept coming and I can see why they call him the 'Hitman.'
    He received an MBE in 2007 for his accomplishments in the field of boxing.
    Tom Jones sang the British national anthem on his country's behalf during his fight with Pacquiao.
