    Good to see Hatton training fighters. Staying in the game in some way, shape and form. Other guys need to take a Q from him.

    Former foe Malignaggi comes to mind.

    growing up as a huge boxing fan I would have to say that Benn was potentially THE biggest thrill for me for a short period of time. I don't mean I got sick of him, but for a period of time I recall thinking he may turn out to be THE best middleweight ever. He still turned out great and no offense but yeah I recall for a year or so I was wondering if he would ever be beat :hat

    After the DeWitt and Barkley performances, I too thought Benn might be unbeatable.

    Whoa. Big Benn is still whacking away.

    One of my favorites. Always has been and always will be.

    I didn't. :lol:
    The memory of his thrashing at the hands of Watson was still fairly fresh, and neither of those guys had the skills and ability of a Watson.

    Part of Benn's appeal was the fact that he was vulnerable as well as destructive.

    So true! Hatton looks like he's aged in dog years.
