Let us know in the comments section."I am all for these dream fights we keep hearing about," Hatton said last year – much to the delight of his loyal followers."I have youngsters coming up to me, saying, ‘I’ve watched your fights on video but I never got to see you live!' And I think that is why I’m a fan of these exhibitions."You’re not going to see your heroes get seriously hurt, it is a chance to see them showcase their skills one last time and you can raise a bit of money for charity too, so I’m all for it."There’s a couple of picks that spring to mind for me.

If we are talking domestically, I would still love to see Joe Calzaghe vs Carl Froch. They very nearly came close to fighting, Joe was coming to the end, Carl was coming to the forefront.Want to be on the ball with all of the latest football news?Well then sign up for the brilliant Daily.
