I think my greatest achievement in boxing is my following.

I've been giving a little gamble on the roulette and just sitting having a coffee with the fans, chatting away.

Winning the IBF title was the greatest night of my life. To give it up outside the ring is truly painful.

I'm going to say hello to two friends who I've shut out of my life for the past 10 weeks while I trained the hardest I've ever done for a fight. So welcome back Mr Guinness and Mr Dom Perignon.

I've got a problem with my legs, they just can't walk past a chippy.

He's won't push me back on the night and he certainly wasn't going to push me back up there.

I have no fear in moving up (in weight) and fighting.

What sort of champion would I be if I just stayed in my normal weight division and didn't take the big challenges on? Bring them on, that's what Ricky Hatton's all about.

My first world title gave me the confidence to go and do bigger and better things.

As an amateur, I couldn't get many fights. No one would fight me when I was a schoolboy.

The one thing that's hurt in my career is people saying I don't want to come out of Manchester to fight people.

Death was easy. Life was complicated.

Change is threatening to the status quo.

We owe almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed.

When the spotless ermine of the judicial robe fell on John Jay, it touched nothing less spotless than itself.

To the rationally minded the mental processes of the intuitive appear to work backwards

Some men give as little light in the world as a farthing tallow candle, and when they expire, leave as bad an odor behind them.

Rarely have I seen any really great advertising created without a certain amount of confusion, throw-aways, bent noses, irritation and downright cursedness.

Meditation is waiting on God.

Your life will become better by making other lives better.

When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.
