Just watched that fight and it still ranks as one of the best Hatton fights for me. An all out explosive British encounter. Is this one of the best Hatton fights do you think ?

I don't think it can be classed as one of Hattons best as obviuosly Magee is quite a step below names such as Tszyu, Collazo, Castillo, Urango and even Maussa, but it was a cracking fight.
Ricky got the shock of his life in the first, but boxed excellently for the remainder, primarily on the backfoot.
agreed! nice performance by the HitManQuote:

My memories of this fight is it was a decent little contest for two rounds but after that all Eamon did was sit on the ropes and wait for opportunities to counter whilst Hatton smothered his own work.
I remember at 1 point the entire crowd cheered cuz Magee moved out of the corner for once . Says it all really
Good fight, Hatton vs Thaxton was better though IMO.
Agreed great domestic fight, I wish Thaxton could have got a shot against Khan he deserved a bit of spotlightQuote:
