Trainer Billy Graham says Ricky Hatton can claim to be Britain's best-ever boxer if he beats Jose Luis Castillo in their super-fight on 23 June.
"This fight will show what I have been telling everybody for years - that Ricky is the greatest fighter to come out of this country," said Graham.
"I have got a lot of British idols but to me Ricky stands above all of them. Read more...
what a joke, thats an insult to so many great british boxers of the past.
Beating Castillo does not make Hatton Britains greatest ever boxer. Does Billy Graham have a limited knowledge of boxing history, even modern history. Other fighters have accomplished plenty more than Ricky. This fight is another rung on the ladder. Nothing more.
Billy Graham worries me. He seriously does. Hatton is adding little to his arsenal and Graham encourages negative tactics at the half way stage in a fight Hatton was duly winning. He wants Hatton to retire, and fast. Most discouraging.
Ricky Hatton is a joke he only gives up the title belts because they don't fit round his fat gut.No but he is win a belt give it up win a belt give it up

Who's Billys or Tysonbruno?
To be fair, this is also the man who said that moving up to welter and beating Collazo in his first fight at the new weight was a feat never acomplished in the history of the sport before ::**
Ricky Hatton greatest British boxer of all time? ???
He isn't even the best right now!
So then smashup ive got a lack of knowledge because ive voiced some opinions people don't like. Is'nt that what this site is for to voice your opinions and views on fighters and fights.
Too funny.....
Britains Greatest - Ricky Hatton.... :dontknow:
Ricky Hatton is a good fighter but not a great one he Has'nt done as much as Naseem Hamed did for british boxing worldwide so how can he be the greatest british fighter
Naz????? It's because of that idiot most people base the whole "berits getting found out" theory on when fighting a good fighter and going to america.Quote:

id rate Joe bugner over naz any day of the week, and hatton right now too. He has arecord ot be proud of as it is, i think it could of been even better if he never killed the belgian in the ring, that messed him up badly.
But Naz won the W.B.O and defended it against good oposition he also won W.B.C and I.B.F and beat the W.B.a champ even though he did'nt get the title because vasquez had been stripped for fighting Naz.He stopped manuel medina in 11 rounds with a cold the same medina who years later would take the W.B.O title from Scott Harrison
