Stop the vandalism on this page[edit]

I've seen a mixture of vandalism on this page over the last week or so by unregistered users, can we limit editing and stop unregistered users editing this page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andy mccabe50 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, just had to take out a paragraph of abuse from a deluded Hatton fan.

Not neutral[edit]

This article is not neutral. The controversy paragraph may indicate that an angry fan of Ricky Hatton is vandalizing the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.106.93 (talk) 14:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article wants attention[edit]

Article seriously want attention, section being quite biased, the considered opinion throughout the world is that he had a poor fight for the Mayweather v Hatton fight, there is a paragraph that seems to attack the poms, wants looking at. Alexsanderson83 (talk) 06:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Universal" Criticism[edit]

Removed the word "universal" regarding the the criticism of Cortez regarding the Hatton fight. Not neutral, and quite frankly, incorrect. HandsomeSam57 (talk) 22:26, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cortez’s Nationality[edit]

I changed the references, except in the Quick Reference, to Cortez’s nationality from Puerto Rican to American. He’s an American citizen, having been born in New York City. Boxrec.com lists him as having US nationality, not Puerto Rican. I don’t know how to correct it in the Quick Reference however. Can someone correct that please?
