That's Paul McCloskey. Winning the European title no longer guarantees a top 15 spot with the WBC either, but it does make it likely you'll feature in their top 20 and a few easy defences will see you in the top 10.
Any news on Paul. Seems a long since he was in the ring and I can not remember hearing about him for quite some time.
Lets hope he has one of those cool ring entrances, like Vitali/Vlad had, with all the WW greats of the past lined up on screens on either side as he walks to the ring. Then, lets hope that Branco rips his head off with the first punch thrown.:good
Here it is: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYWHdX06sq0[/ame] Oh yeah, you can just see Matt walking the walk down a WW version of that line-up.
Matthew Hatton being egged on by Tommy Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Pernell Whitaker and Sugar Ray Leonard :hey
That ring entrance was cringeworthy enough when Vitali did it, I'd have to put my foot through the TV if Magic pulled that stunt.
haha you can just imagine Leanord: Matthew i know what its like to have a draw then be in a title fight i know you can do it
They'll probably refer to him as Ricky's brother, just like everybody else does. Ray Leonard: "Come on Ricky's brother, you can do it. Your time of greatness has arrived." Hearns: "Yeah Ricky's brother, do a Cuevas on this Branco mutha ****a!" Whitaker: "Who the **** is this? I ain't doin this ****. This is ****ing demeaning". DLH: "Come On Ricky's brother. Get through this and a megafight with Amir Khan is yours. In the build-up I'll even let you talk about how you believe your fighting for the mythical P-4-P title, just like your big brother did a couple of times.
