Quotes by Ricky Hatton

I want people to look at me as a four-time world champion, in two weight categories, as a down-to-earth man of the people, not the joke that I had become.

Life kicks you hard but you have to be a man to come back.

Everything I've done in my career has been for nothing.

It doesn't matter how many people say 'don't be hard on yourself,' I feel like I have to redeem myself to my fans, my family and the whole of British sport.

Once I got beat by Mayweather I felt so ashamed. I cancelled all my functions, all my appearances, I didn't want to walk down the street. I was too embarrassed to even go and have a pint with my mates.

When I got successful and people started talking about me, I didn't want anyone thinking I thought I was a 'big time Charlie.'

People with success are less able to cope because you're used to being on Mount Everest and when it's gone, what do you do?

I could come in the gym to train with the boys and they'd think I was alright, but I'd go home and sit there crying.

They say 'you've over trained, you've left it in the gym' is the most common phrase used in boxing but my god it is the truest.

I feel happier about things, I don't blame myself over the losses.
