"these are the same people who 4 or 5 years ago were saying i was a over-hyped over-protected fraud.
"then i go and beat vince phillips more convincingly than sharmba mitchell-the number 1 contender to kostya tszyu.
"next on the agenda i cant box for ****. im just a brawler. so i go out and box ben takies head off and that shuts them up for a few months.
"but then im nothing more than just a ticket seller who doesnt want the big fights, even though i made it publicly clear that its me promoter who who's not getting me the fights.
"then they call me "ricky fatton" and tell me kostya tszyu will knock my block off and that i dont stand a hope in hell's chance.
"then its i wont leave manchester and britain and that i wont fight in america.
"then its back to the overhyped fraud and nothing more than a brawler.
" to be honest i sit there and laugh my bloody arse off at it sometimes. look what ive done-6 world titles at 2 weights, beat an alltime great and topped the bill at las vegas.
"long may it continue to be honest. ricky hatton just uses it as motivation and a prety good laugh aswell.
"well youv'e got to break it down.
"with kostya tszyu i wasn't prepared to load up all the time beacause i knew if he caught me with a quick hook or counter hook he could have me on my backside, or if he stepped back and landed that right he could hjave knocked me sparko with the double inpact as i was loading up.
"you saw the fight, it was about closing the gap fast, it was about sticking to him. id been waiting for that moment all me life so i wasn't going to let me heart rule me head and mess it up. i couldnt let him extened the right elbow or because then id be sparked!
"with carlos maussa, obviously, you saw the fight. you saw the guy. he was very-very awquard, a swithch hitter, rangy, gangly, punching at odd angles.
"again i used my head. id been saying in the buildup to the fight that i was going to go for the body, but did that to decieve him because i didn't and we'd worked on the leaping hook to the head because on tapes we'd seen how he left his chin in the air when he pulled back.
"so again, perfect.
"with me last 2 fights, how can you look good against them? southpawes, difficult styles.
"(luis) collazo was quick and tricky and threw punches from the waist that you dont seen comming.
"while (juan) urango had the peak-a-book defence and your punches just bounced off him!
"plus going up and down weight like a yo-yo and fighting overseas, i think i deserve all the credit in the world and ive already acheived beyond my wildest dreams to be honest.
"when i go toe to toe with one of mexicos greats and come out on top, the critics can put in there pipe and smoke it just like they have done everything else ricky the hitman hatton's done."
