Are you being sarcastic?

- not nearly the best body puncher of his generation. I'm sure I could think of plenty that are better, but at in and around that weight class alone, Cotto is better.

- best ticket seller of his generation: Oscar de la Hoya. C'mon, mate. Hatton is not even close.

- nigel benn was not the most exciting fighter when he was around, so i'm not even sure what you mean there. in any case, manny pacquiao, among many, many others, is more exciting than the clinch- and wrestle-fest that is a ricky hatton fight.

- finally, kostya was NOT ANYONE'S #1 p4p EVER. when ricky beat the old kostya (in a very close and very sloppy fight), B-Hop was the unanimuos consensus #1, followed by #2 Floyd Mayweather and #3 Winky Wright. Pretty much everyone also considered MAB, Pacquiao and EM higher than KT as well.
