    PBF-Hattpn Hatton had bought into his own hype and thought he was unbeatable. Never in a million years did he think that PBF could beat him at his own game. His head hitting that ring turnbuckle will be replayed on highlight reels for decades.:yep

    Damn i loved telling everyone that Ricky was going to get schooled for years before it happend when he faced PBF, that could of been the sweetest tasting KO i have ever seen :lol:

    Hatton was such a wanker in the build up and pre fight hype.

    floyd was worse than ricky at the press conferences. :patsch

    it worked cos it wound ricky up.

    by fightnight he was too pumped.

    even so beating floyd would have been a tough ask. :-(

    yeah good pick.

    he certainly treated rahman with contempt before the fight.

    and even smiled at rahman before getting that bomb planted on his kisser. :patsch

    PBF was a stylistic nightmare for Hatton and I tried telling people that for months but they wouldn't listen. He wouldn't have beaten PBF in a 1000 lifetimes.:deal

    Did you see Peter's face when McCline put him down three times, real knockdown too.

    I would say when Abraham knocked Miranda out.
