If it had been Ricky vs. Floyd that night at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester, I do not doubt Ricky would have came out victorious. That is the one night that Ricky was unbeatable. Anyone who seen it live knows, Hatton never came near to that performance before or after that night.
A lot of fighters take their foot off the gas when they win a World title fight. Ricky won the IBF, RING and Lineal titles that night. Crazy how he went on to unify more belts and even won a belt at Welterweight (debatable decision).
I am not a Hatton fan, but no doubt in my mind he'd have beaten the Floyd who was beating up on limited opponents Arturo Gatti and Sharmba Mitchell at that time.
