Unbeaten junior welterweight contender Ricky Hatton may have a future in the world of international espionage when he finally hangs up the gloves. During his Tuesday afternoon media workout at the Top Rank gym in Las Vegas, the Hitman wowed his camp members by somehow deciphering the cunning disguises of two Juan Urango team members who were doing a spot of clandestine reconnaissance.
Ricky 'the Hitman' Hatton is one of the most murderous bodypunchers in all of boxing according to someone who should know -- The legendary 'Bodysnatcher' himself Mike McCallum. "I've watched Ricky's fights and he doesn't fight like a British fighter at all," said McCallum, who was an observer at Hatton's open workout at the Top Rank gym in Las Vegas Tuesday.
