Remember watching him when I was a kid. Quite a few of his fights aired on HBO I believe it was. Entertaining fighter. Gone too young RIP
When Boxing forums were lit! Good Times before instagram!R.I.P. his win over Kosta is an all-time upset
That said. Never seen a fighter take losing as badly as Ricky did when he lost to Floyd and he said he took it hard and was suicidal because of it.
The 24/7 between him and Floyd was the best all time. The 1st 24/7 between Floyd and DLH was weak because DLH was his typical carefully media curated self and Floyd was trying too hard to sell the fight and came off silly and he kinda got labeled as a goofball for awhile after that.
Hattons team in contrast showed Floyd zero respect and really allowed Floyd real personality to show as he didn’t have to sell the fight. Hatton made it known he thought Floyd was soft and he’d touch him up in the ring.
The British vs America wars on the internet were crazy
Floyd was probably the most hated fighter in America at the time but the Brit’s were so OD disrespectful the whole night that the crowd was chanting USA! USA! At the end
Anyway poor Ricky, I hope his family finds peace. Boxing takes more than it gives.

Sad. I grew up watching all his early fights on British sports TV and his world title fight.
Someone actually told me randomly today and it was a complete shock.
RIP to the Hitman.

Damn. I was a fan back when they showed his fights on Shobox before he adopted his clinch style.
