I'm talking about who he has faught already. Those 2 were the only ones and its not like he ever dodged anyone either. He was always up to take on anyone.

The only fight Ricky Fatton could win is on Man Vs. Food.

You must of missed 96% of his fights.

I'm probably going GSK. Waiting on my mate to get some money though so he can afford his ticket. Hope it hasn't sold out by then.

Cool the atmosphere should be mental and you would witness a small piece of boxing history! but don't expect him to win lol.

I get a feeling it will be a pretty standard easily winable fight to warm him up. Depending how that goes his next fight could be decent. Lots of talk about khan if he wins this fight. I think a lot of people would like to see that fight if hattons still got it.

A lot of people I have spoke to think Hatton would actually beat Khan but we would have to see how he looks in his warm-up.

Under Billy Graham, no matter how big Ricky got, by the end of training he had his fitness to a point where he was ready for a 16 round fight... this is why there were never any doubts over his fitness when he was actually in the ring. You would always hear the pundits talking about a lack of respect for the sport, and how "this time it will surely effect him in the ring"... but it never did. His game was built on relentless pressure and intelligent footwork (the welterweight Tyson without the pace), and one thing that always stood out about him was that he could maintain that pressure throughout the whole fight where other similar fighters would begin to slow down.

It'll be a lot harder to reverse 3 years worth of weight gain and liver damage than 3 months worth though... obviously. Really hope he can do it, and I hope they put a lot of thought into who he fights.

Malignaggi is a safe bet. I don't think he's got anything in his locker to test Hatton other than his stamina. He'll keep Hatton busy but ultimately, he would never be able stop a fit and healthy Hatton imo. There's too much of a gulf in class and power.

Khan would be good also, similar to Malignaggi only more power and less flair.

He would need more of a test, and something above these two if the third of his fights is going to be a real showdown with someone of true quality... like Cotto or Mayweather.
