That's an interesting point,how many people actually want to see this fight? I'm not sure whether I ifind it exciting or not! I mean boxing fans are fickle,we all say Hatton has looked bad in his last few fights but if he beats JLC well,people will be clamouring to see this again!

Yup!
About a year and a half ago, I would've given my left arm to see this fight.
Now, I don't even see this one being close.
Ricky's fans are always quick to jump to his defense with,
"It's hard to look good against a guy like Urango! It's hard to look good against a guy like Collazo! It's hard to look good against awkward Maussa!"
And when Floyd goes out and looks good in his fights, all of a sudden he's fighting nobodies.
So basically, it's okay to look bad against good fighters, but it's not okay to look good against good fighters? Does not compute.
I like Ricky and I do respect him for what he does in the ring. He beat KT and I take nothing away from that. But when you read about him from his fans, you come to expect him to be this all-out bull who doesn't stop pressing his opponent.
He had one big win over KT, he ran over low level competition early in his career, and he grabs and holds his way to victory when he steps up. Is that accurate?
Where are his big explosive fights? I've seen about a dozen Ricky fights. Did I happen to coincidentally tune in to the 12 times he had an off night and all the other times I've missed him he's an intense bull?
Very good points there bro,I can relate to what you are saying. His holding is a little excessive for my liking too and he does need another A grade win aside from Tszyu,there's only so long a fighter can sit on one win!
