Hearns couldn't string two words together in his 20's..... not sure how he'd manage in his 50's having had nearly 70 pro fights :nut
Fair enough. How about this then: Ray Leonard: "Come on Ricky's brother, you can do it. Your time of greatness has arrived." Hearns: "Timmy!" 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.
To be fair as undeserving as he is I have no qualms about him taking the shot if it's there but I would rather he had proven himself best welter in britain first.
Anyone read the comment at the bottom of the article!!!! ''Well done Hatton promotions... Matthew Hatton is one of the most under-rated fighters in Europe, cruelly over-shadowed by Ricky's career, and this will allow him to earn the respect he is due!''
