Today in The Times Ricky Hatton reflects on his fight with Kostya Tszyu. Hatton is, The Times says, the boxer who conquered the world, but did not let his newfound fame change him. The eminently likable Hatton even marvels at his own effort against Tszyu: "normally, in a 12-round fight, you’ve got to pace yourself but because of the nature of that fight, I don’t think I did. So I’d never been that tired before. And I think the only reason I could keep it up was because that was my moment, my heart just willed me on, just enabled me to keep going." There is no fight I'd rather see in 2006 than Ricky Hatton vs. Floyd Mayweather. The question is, can the sport do the right thing and make it happen?

This guy is a well-kept secret.
It’s not his fault, that’s just the way it is. You fight at cruiserweight, you have to expect to be treated like a stranger. Cruiserweights don’t get front row seats, don’t get invited to grand openings, and don’t have to sign autographs. No one ever asks.
