YEA NO QUESTION ricky is a great fighter........down at the 140 division. he ain't got no business above that. thats clear now ain't it.
CC DeanrW and Julie. Good posts,common sense and what I think and agree with totally. No-one is saying Hatton is not a good fighter but don't try to make him what he isn't-a legit contender at WW. His father and trainer admit he's too small to fight the elite at the weight. Some of his hardcore fans do too so I'm not really seeing the big fuss about it.He's sitll world class at 140,he just isnt effective with his style at 147.
