Ricky Hatton, The Hitman, My Story

I have been following Ricky Hatton's career now for about 5 years but I had not realised until I read his biography just how much work is involved in every single fight and just how much he has put in to get as far as he has.

Anyone who has watched Ricky will know that he is a natural talent but he states in his book that this alone can only get you so far and he says what a massive contribution the guiding hand of Billy Graham has been.

This book also answers a lot of questions with regards to Ricky's past promoter, but he says that this is his side of the story and that every reader is entitled to form their own opinion as to who was right and who was in the wrong.

It also shows what a laid back man he is, he seems to take his success in his stride and says that the whole fame thing is something that he is quite simply not interested in as why should he be famous for quite simply being good at his job. The antics that he, his friends and trainer Billy Graham get up to are comical - I found myself laughing out loud at points, very funny!

I had a great deal of respect for Ricky Hatton before I read this book, as people who I have spoken to have always said what a nice guy he is and I have not yet heard a bad word said, but after reading his book I am even more convinced that he is genuinely a nice guy who deserves the success he has had so far in his career and I hope that he achieves all his goals before he retires.
