    Ricky Hatton

    I miss Ricky. Fcuk what everyone else says, im with Ricky, and i back him in wanting to bow out on top. I miss the fanfare of his fights, the carnival, the charge, the atmosphere, the 'all Brits together' vibe.

    One more fight son, in England, a WAR. Win, lose or draw, just one more fight.

    Certainly, Ricky deserves to go out a winner.

    The man never ducked anyone, you know? he could easily of not fought PBF and Pac and retired with a semi-fraudulent unbeaten record but he didnt, and more power to him.

      Despite the fashion in how he lost in his recent fights I still respect the dude, its rare when you have somebody from the other side of the pond in which everyone can appreciate.

      Peace.

          Ricky is a legend. No one is going to say he was a p4p great, that he could have beaten Floyd or Manny on another day, but, he brought SO much more to the ring than just his fists. In England, at least, he gave a hugh amount of hope (just think back for a minute about the build up to his fight with Floyd). On that night the nation stayed up so watch him, sing for him, cheer for him and give him every ounce of our best.

          Not many, if any, boxers can claim to have that kind of support behind them. It's those nights that i miss, and i DEFO want to experience it one more time.

            Ricky had p4p Popularity thats for sure, I think sadly that he is a little underrated now.
            I mean Ricky Hatton is no bum, he was an elite level fighter, i hope he gets up for the
            Marquez fight, because i think he can win that, and it will be a war and ricky will go out
            on a higher level

              Ricky was excellent to watch before the Tszyu fight, he fought at a real high intensity, there was no holding just action all the way, plus he was/is always has been tough as nails.

              My fav Hatton fight was against Ben Tackie.
