Cant help but think since may the sport has lost its biggest personality and all the fan fare and excitement that comes with a ricky hatton showdown.

This sport needs its personalitys to survive and despite not managing to win either of his 2 major showdowns he brought a hell of a lot of anticipation and charisma.

Remembering standing in the middle of a packed out vegas strip belting out a hatton chant and wondering if there truly is a single person in not just the sporting world but across the globe who can truly bring this kind of excitement and passion with them?

Not for all your mayweathers, mosleys, calzaghes and klitschkos can you get or create such anticipation and intrigue as a ricky hatton
