Ricky never needed a game plan, not until he fought Kostya anyway and since then he has done the same smothering in almost all his fights. It was a great gameplan for Tszyu but why he has mauled just the same since with guys he could outbox anyway I don't know. He never seemed to listen to Billy Graham in the last couple of years, just do his own thing which seems to be hit, hold, wrestle, hit again "BREAK" hit, hold etc...

I remember when he used to move side to side to find his opponents body and mix his punches amazingly to break down his foes, I really miss that Ricky Hatton, he was 3-4 times more exiting prior to the Tszyu bout.

I'd like to see him try NOT fighting 3 minutes of every round and wasting energy as a means to prolong his longevity in the sport. Lets see what old Floyd can do with him, it would be great to see a different Ricky this time out, maybe use his gloves rather than his head to block shots
