Hatton remember's Corrales as a great

Expected nothing less from Ricky.
The boy is pure class and i guarantee the real Hitman will come out to play in June ;)

Ricky Hatton has hailed Diego Corrales as one of the finest fighters of all time.

The Hitman was among the first to pay tribute to the 29-year-old, who died in a motorcycle accident in Las Vegas on Monday.

Hatton has long been linked with a fight against Chico, who won world titles at super-featherweight and lightweight in a spectacular 45-fight career.

He will fight Corrales' old foe Jose Luis Castillo in June, but admits he would have loved to take on an all-action fighter in the same mould.

"It is absolutely tragic news," he said.

"I had a lot of admiration for Diego Corrales and his mega-fight against Jose Luis Castillo deserves to be ranked among the finest of all time.

"I had often been linked with a fight against Corrales and it is a fight I would have loved. He was my kind of fighter, a fighter's fighter.

"He was very passionate about his sport and boxing is a lot worse off without him."

Thats exactly what he was..

A fighters fighter

Castillo vs. Corrales I & II were fights of legend.

R.IP. a great warrior, great heart a true champion, you will be missed Chico.

yeah im gutted about chico aswell. well said ricky, a fighters fighter. :'(
