Re: How good was Rick Hatton?
A very very, very good fighter - brave, courageous and went for it. Knocked on the door of the elite but didn't have enough to get in.
I remember when the Mayweather fight was announced I reckoned he had a 30 % chance of winning. I was lucky enough to get a ticket however and by the time I had spent three days in Vegas surrounded by crazy fellow Brits (and that crazy weigh in !) I was 100% certain he was going to win by the time the bell rang. In fact I couldn't see Mayweather surviving the first round !
Seriously thats how I felt !
I can't see any other Brit in the future having that kind of support overseas. He is probably second to Big Frank in terms of most popular British fighter ever (then 'Enry).
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
