I think Ricky Hatton was never as good as people thought. One of the problems of the alphabet era...you can hold a title and an unbeaten record, and not fight the really big fights.
Hatton is a tough fighter, and he is world class, but getting to 40-0 or whatever he did before PBF took him apart was flattering.
I would like to see PBF vs Cotto too... but I dont think anyone can call him a bitch in terms of as a fighter... he doesnt have anything to prove anymore.
Hopkins vs Calzaghe doesnt excite me that much. Calzaghe is over-rated in my opinion, and utterly classless as an individual... Hopkins is a warrior but he is getting old...
Heavyweight division is desolate to me.
Enzo vs Haye will be an exciting fight and generate a lot of hype in the UK, they are both brave and tough.. but you cant shake the sneaking suspicion that if you dug Jonny Nelson out of retirement he could whip them both with a weeks gap inbetween the fights.
What boxing needs, desperately, is one title per weight. This shouldnt be a hard concept for all the people involved to grab.
One champion, one man who is the greatest in his class.
There are some good fights between featherweight and middleweight.
Also, what is the point of the cruiserweight division? I didnt like it when it was at 190, but now its extended to 200... its a joke. If you weight 200 lbs, you are a heavyweight.
