Like him or not Hatton was an entertaining fighter in his prime. Not too much dancing.you gonna see a fight

Floyd ate Ricky up inside. Sick of this excuse. He wants to hold and hit.

i didnt find him very exciting for hte most part. maybe the atmosphere was exciting but if you put 20000 people ****ing drums at a ward fight that would probably make it seem more exciting but in reality its just a guy wrestling and holdng and hitting a lot

That's pretty much it.

A few things: Kostya had one fight (Sharmba II) in about 18 months prior to Hatton. He was 35, still sharp but not near his prime. Ricky wrestled his way to victory in what was anything but a boxing contest. One of those fights you don't want to keep revisiting. Love Ricky for what he's achieved and like him as a person but I wish he'd put a little perspective on it. He tried his wrestling shti with Pacman but Manny was wise to it and too quick.

I loved Ricky and The game plan was executed perfectly for Kostya. It would have been totally different against Floyd imo. It was an immense night and awesome atmosphere, best I've witnessed so let's leave it at that Ricky.

You were probably at your best but although I think you would have done better than when you did fight Floyd, I think you would have still come up a bit short..

More often than not, that was the reality. Particularly stinky fight was vs Juan Urango. The amount of holding was unreal. Ricky could box very soundly, like he did vs Ben Tackie. Brilliant performance. Too few and far between though.

Hatton is overrated, Floyd would've beaten him 1 handed. His claim to fame is beating an inactive old fighter that Floyd would've dominated with ease.

[Removed Now]

He beat a 37 year Tszyu holding while hitting and throwing low blows. Dude acting like he did a Vince Phillips on Tszyu
