I try to stay away from SM as much as possible, but just seen Mark Crossley (ex Forest keeper) using Ricky's name to sell CBD oil to “cure/help” depression. What a horrible shameless twat.

Mark Crossley is a bellend. He was slating us on twitter when we played Forest in the FA cup semi cos we didn't sell out

He has reverted to You Tuber/Jake Paul/Connor McGreggor tactics to bring heat on himself by being the villian to get publicity/money/more views!

There is a reason that Promoters wont touch him and his Dad only turned up in his corner out of respect for Nigel Benn!

Boxing taught Ricky (and thousand of other kids) discipline, how to be a man, and put them on the right track! Hatton becoming a world champion just proves that and acts as motivation to us all!

Eubank is desperate to be relevant and be liked, but never will be either!

It would be funny as fuck if Connor Benn refused to fight him!



Anyway, I'm sure Ricky would be pissing is sides at us all getting offended on his behalf!
Their last tear up was a fight of the year contender! A repeat of that would be a top tribute to him!

Better yet Benn knocks him out…..and dedicates the fight to Ricky.

I wonder if a statue outside the Manchester Arena would be more fitting? He fought 15 fights there, winning 14 of them. There were some cracking nights in there watching Ricky, the night he defeated Kostya Tszyu was electric!

Plus with him being loved by more than just City fans and him being a Manchester icon, a city centre statue would get more traction from locals and tourists.

I like this a lot.

I used to go to the arena to watch him with reds and blues, and where as the reds wouldnt sing Blue Moon, the second that was over they were bang up for it

Love to get this idea off the ground

It was scandalous the way that fight was reffed. Wouldn’t be surprised if a backhander was on the cards.

Joe Cortez kept stopping the fight and limiting Ricky's bodyshots which ultimately played into Mayweather's hands.
I really believe that he could have won that fight without those interruptions.
 
That left hook to the body of Castillo. Some punches you just remember. The way he just went forehead to forehead with him and traded body shots.

The nights staying up to watch him round my mates house, drinking till 5am (for those of us who couldn't afford Vegas trips!).

He was one of us.

And as an aside he hit Mayweather with a lovely shot in the 6th and Cortez fell for every trick. Strangely he was the ref for Castillo and just let them both work inside all the time. The referees a wanker...

Cortez didn't let him work and rough up Mayweather, as he would have liked to. And Cortez was also the one who "froze" and let Mayweather get that sucker punch on Victor Ortiz.

I'm still in shock about Ricky, for this happen just after the dust settled with Canelo Crawford was eerie.

RIP Champ, condolences go out to his family, especially Campbell. 46 years old, far too young.

He got Eubank to boil himself down to a skeleton and wanted to sneak a Roided up Benn into the ring against him to take his head off. the actions of a **** in my mind wouldn’t you say?
