Check out the archives - what did I say! Of course, I'll wait for official announcement before I celebrate. First, dreaming the round Danny would KO Tyson and now saying Hatton next fight (if not Harries) would be against Stewart.

Hah, Michael Steward, what happened to "a top ten rated opponent" and "definately Vivian Harris or Spadafora". You just can't believe a word he says. Ricky Hatton is Brian Nielson.

Now Vivians demands are big no doubt, but Ricky refused purse bids and gave up his ranking. Anyone else would have went to the purse bid. Roy Jones does it, Brodie done it and many others, does Ricky want his own rule made up just for him. Why must Ricky have every single little advantage in his favour for him to take a fight? Completely no confidence in himself.
