Ricky was the man at 140lbs for 4 years. He hardly failed at the top level, his two defeats came against future hall of famers and he holds a win over another.

The worst thing about Hatton is that shouldn't of been the end. If he lived the life he still could of been a top fighter at 147lbs after the Pacman defeat. He was young enough to keep going but his antics outside the ring cut the shelf life of his career,
As well as his lifestyle Ricky never had the ring style to have a long career, he took way too much punishment even before he was a world champion. He used to walk through shots that by the end were stopping him in his tracks. The manner of the Pacquiao would have also made continuing difficult regardless of his lifestyle. |

Hatton V Cotto @ 140lbs would of been a great fight. Shame that never happened.

Eh, not really. Mayweather or Alvarez the other two contenders off the top of my head, and you can make an argument for any. He took on an undisputed champion who a lot of people thought was unbeatable in his own back yard and won comfortably. Love him or hate him it's one of the greatest victories in boxing history. Ring magazine has long lost any credibility it had, but it's good recognition for Fury.

If Fury goes on to defend for say 2 years then yes, give him the accolade then, but i just think its a bit premature. |

Re Dave.
Good news, Paul Demsey is hosting. Bad news, Ronald McIntosh is doing the commentary. |

That was the most brutal heavyweight brawl since The Thrilla in Manilla.
I am emotionally exhausted. |

I wonder how much ringside tickets cost for that fight??
Hardly worth the cost of the TV licence, nevermind the cost of an actual ticket! |

![]() Thanks for the laughs guys. But all said and done, Haye being back stirs the pot nicely. Just hope his shoulder holds out to fight Aj or Fury or even Whyte.

Why was it ? Care to be constructive ? If it had gone to 12 rounds and a points decision would you think more of Haye ?

I'm happy for Haye. I still don't think AJ shouldn't rush into a fight with Haye until he gets a few more tougher fights like his last under his belt. Haye still has experience on his side. AJ took a while to recover when he got hurt, Haye might not give him a chance to do that.
