There's a bit of fantasy talk going around about this one. Not sure what kind of a fight we'd see but can you imagine what an occasion it would be were these 2 to meet? The noise, the ringwalks, the staredown..
What an event it would be.
Ricky Hatton v Naseem Hamed

If the money is right, you never know.....
For a second, I wondered if Naz could carry 140, but then it dawned on me that Hatton is probably 150 by fight time.
No way Naz could carry 150, he'd have an arse like an orang-utan
Mind you, years ago Naz said he would win titles all the way up to 147!
It would be the biggest selling fight this country has had in years.
allegedly, show Naz the money!

Not on your nelly. Hamed is a short featherweight, and Ricky actually weighs in at 154 come fight night.
Hamed would have gotten pounded if they met at any point. Hamed doesn't and never had, in my opinion, the kind of psysique or skillset which would have moved well up the weights, not a high enough output or great enough handspeed...even in his prime I feel he wouldn't have carried extra weight well.
