No. 96 - Ricky Hatton

Ricky Hatton was a British welterweight and light-welterweight who was content for a long time just dominating European competition.

Hatton fought a remarkable 34 title fights, but the vast majority of them were for minor belts. At various times, Hatton held these championships.

• BBB of C Central Area Super Lightweight Title
• WBO Inter-Continental Super Lightweight Title
• WBA Inter-Continental Super Lightweight Title
• WBU Super Lightweight Title

Finally, in 2005, after 25 of these minor title fights, Hatton stepped on to a world stage and soundly beat Kostya Tszyu of Australia for the IBF World Super Lightweight Title. A heavy underdog, the win earned Hatton the 2005 Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year.

A no-holds-barred brawler with a large, vocal fanbase, the Tszyu victory earned Hatton a ticket to big money competition and there he hit a wall. In 2007, he lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr. by a TKO in the 10th round in a highly anticipated fight of undefeated champions.

Hatton rebounded with two wins over solid fighters, earning a shot at Manny Pacquiao in 2009. Pacquiao, though, knocked Hatton out in the second round. Hatton waited more than three years to get in the ring again and retired for good after getting knocked out by Vyacheslav Senchenko.
