    Perhaps he and John Ruiz should open a pub up together.Their "styles" match up perfectly.They can call it Huggie Bears.

    Reckon he beats Bradley, Khan, Alexander, Maidana and Ortiz.
    Really wish he would have fought Miguel cotto at his peak, that
    would have been a classic.

    The most popular British fighter of all time. A true legend. Hope he enjoys his retirement.

    A great career for him personally but for me a career which could of been longer and better. His lifestyle outside the ring was disgraceful.

    only boxer since Benn & Tyson to create a pre fight buz, especially the atmosphere at the city of manchester stadium that would be hard for any other boxer to achieve. I tip my hat to the man for so many Great boxing memories!!

    Anyone else agree that a prime Ricky would have been Khan-kryptonite?

    I honestly think it (Ricky's mode of boxing) would have been a nightmare style for Amir.

    Had some fun times watching Hatton rise up through the ranks. However post Tszyu his attitude changed a bit which made me less of a fan tbh.

    Agree.

    Hatton would eventually puncture his one-dimensional defences and flurries and kill him to the body. Work him over all round.
