If there was such a thing as re-incarnation, Floyd would come back as himself

What sort of champion would I be if I just stayed in my normal weight division and didn't take the big challenges on? Bring them on, that's what Ricky Hatton's all about.

It's unbelievable really. For something that started off as a hobby, I ended up getting paid for doing it.

I was leaving the hotel to get to the fight when my phone went and someone said 'Hello Ricky, it's Tom'. I said 'Tom who?' and when he said 'Tom Jones' I told him to eff off! I thought it was a wind-up!

Winning the IBF title was the greatest night of my life. To give it up outside the ring is truly painful.

If you can't sell tickets you'll struggle.

I had to come to the United States to prove myself. I fought for a long time in England and a lot of people thought I was a protected fighter.
