Thread: Will Ricky Hatton become World champion again?

Will he come back and win one of the 4 main straps?

Good luck to him but I doubt it, after having life that soft for so long its much harder to get real hard again. It'll be a bigger test of grit this time around plus he's been out cold get hit that hard again unseen and the body can go into shut down a touch easier.

I am going to judge him from his comeback performance, if he looks good then why cant he beat Paulie again? Hes done it once he can do it again. But Paulie does look a lot better at 147 and I reckon it would be a better fight. I would watch it, its interesting how Khan will fight in too because Hatton - Khan in the UK would be massive!

Not a real one. Sadly.

sorry but at this point a rematch with Malignaggi at 147 is pretty much a toss up, especially depending on how much Hatton has left

We really have no idea what Hatton has to offer right now. What we do know is that his chin and stamina were becoming suspect even towards the end before and Hatton has only behaved worse since being out, it's really a massive ask.

I will just see his comeback fight and go from there. In truth none of us knows what to expect, but the omens were ominous in those last few fights. Malignaggi could never hurt a fly, but Hatton was stopped twice and rocked by an inactive LW.

I will be willing him on, but I am uncertain about it all.

Fuck no. I expect his come back to end in a somewhat shocking upset loss to a middling fighter.

I dont think he will beat any1 at world level that includes pauli malignaggi. Hatton was on the slide when he retired and with hatton fighting at 147lb in his comeback venture, that weight never suited him when he was nearer to his prime.

If he can keep his hands up and protect that chin abit more and show some of his old form ,i give him a shot at beating khan just because khan can not handle pressure fighters and carnt fight on the inside.

I think, because he is such a ticket seller, he will get an easy title shot and may well win it. Never gonna beat a truly elite figher though.

Pauline would stop him if they had a rematch. Paulie has looked great

Hatton can easily pick up a WBU title and defend it a couple of times. He could find an easy champion to beat for the better tiles but he will never be the top fighter he once was, ever. 3 years is a long time and age cannot be avoided.

Coming out of retirement is tough for fighters, even great ones like Hatton. If this comeback has Hatton's full dedication then I can see him with a belt and if he concentrates on keeping that belt, he will do well.

If Ricky starts a run for P4P by fighting the best, he will crash and burn again in my opinion.

In the words of Henry Cooper, it's a funny old game boxing and he's right is he not H, Ricky will no
doubt make a large sum of money on his come back.
Some make a come back and have some success, has he taken to much punishment in the past, is
that fine body punching style still there,! lots of questions but the only answer when Rickys back in
that ring Will we NO.

Even a 75% hatton beats judah and maidana!

For all your "Google-driven", boxing philosophical ramblings, you know precious little about boxing.
