        taking on the #1 p4p and #1 147 champion in the world is more memorable in a loss than any win over jeff lacy or mikkel kessler or robin reid or charles brewer......

        beating the 140 king kostya tszyu who hasn't loss in 8 years surpasses beating a 43 yr. old bernard hopkins who lost 2 of his previous 4 fights.

        is beating a shot roy jones even better than beating a shot jose luis castillo?
        Yup. You have to hand it to Hatton, although he avoided Floyd twice before, he still got him int time before Floyd past his prime. Floyd was the #1 Fighter in the World P4P.

        He did fight Kostya Tszyu, although Tszyu was past his prime and had been very inactive for the past 3 years, but somebody had to knock the King of the Mountain; and Ricky did it.

        Ricky also wants another crack at Floyd...as well as the winner of Pac vs. Goldy.

        Ricky also got on a plane and came to America to make some noise in order to get the fight with Floyd.

        Ricky left the protection of Frank Warren.

        Where was Joe years ago...I didn't see him trying to do this to get a prime Roy Jones Jr. in the ring. Of course, Joe would have had to move up in weight, something Ricky did...in order to fight Roy...Ricky did it for Floyd.

        At least he is trying.

          I always piont Jimmy Wilde out. Make sure you capatilize the letters next time though.

          With Jimmy, they don't talk about him as some Brit...just that he was a GREAT fighter and one of the All Time Legends.

                  Like I said before, I said Lacy was overrated when he was starting to be compared to a young Tyson, but he was considered a threat at 168, and Joe was the first to expose him.

                  Lacy and Kessler are Joe's biggest wins.

                  I wouldn't go too far either: Grant was hailed by the American promotion machine and he was exposed by Lewis. He amounted to nothing after-wards. Lacy hasn't done much since.

                  If one fight can do it, remember, the Roy Jones Jr. "Shot" statement is now in full play.

                  I thought it was a great display of Joe, but I also knew it was bound to happen with Lacy...just not that bad...that surprised me.


                  Joe's going into the Hall of Fame; don't worry.
                  he may get into the hall of fame but that don't make him an ATG.

                    A handful of decent wins doesn't qualify you as an ATG.
