Pretty happy to hear this, I cant blame him not wanting to go out with a brutal KO like that, but very sensible to just go for one more fight, saying that if it's Marquez id say it's a safe bet it is I think he gets hammered, maybe not in two rounds but over maybe 7/8.
Ricky Hatton's Comeback Will Be For One Fight Only - Boxing News
If he wins he will fight again probably against Khan. ;)

I think he should stay retired. If he fights JMM i think he'll get beaten comfortably, and if he wins his comeback fight the desire for 'one last push' would be too much for him to walk away again.
Why I don't know but I hope he is true to his word....One last fight then so long...But it never works out that way with fighters
If he wins he will be back, if he loses he still won't want to go out on a loss and will be back again to go out on a win. He could be here for a long time unless he picks the right fight. If he could stop JMM I have little doubt he will retire a happy man.Quote:

I agree with Kel, if he were to beat JMM he could retire on a supposed high, if he doesn't win he is the type to keep up the one more go scene and become a name on up and comers records.
I say stay out of the game, announce you have retired officially , it pisses me off he has taken so long to make a statment of intention, I think his ego and the fact he has a bunch of yes men means he will fight on.
A fight with Khan will be like a a good versus evil , the press will come down on the young pretender and make khan the bad guy, it would be a lose lose for Khan.
If Hatton comes back I would be really dissapointed to see him at a press announcement weighing 600lbs. He owes it to the fans he says he loves to start looking the part even between fights, but the old argument prevails "Oh he's always blown up between fights" Piss poor excuse IMO
JMM stoppage round 6.
Marquez is far tougher than Cotto and I think Hatton does better against Cotto than Marquez.
While both would beat Hatton, I highly doubt that JMM could do it easier than Cotto. Firstly, while I don't agree with the "toughness" comment, you could make an argument for it. Secondly, Cotto is WAY bigger and WAY stronger than JMM. Not only does he know how to counter (which would be JMM's biggest tool), but he can box and fight as well. His best days may be as far back as pre-Marga-cheato, but to last 12 rounds (below your normal fighting weight) against a vicious p4p king, with an incompetent corner... that takes toughness AND skill.Quote:

But, on the other hand I'd love to see Hatton fight Khan because it would be huge in Britain & if Khan won it would be great watching half the forum lose their minds ;D
Marquez is far tougher, he took all Mayweathers best shots and also he didnt get stopped by Manny Pacquiao, I think out of the Two that Hatton has a better chance at Cotto, the only thing that might favour Hatton with Marquez is Marquez might hit slightly lighter but I wouldnt say Hattonw ould be alot stronger and with Marquez's combination punching and Hatton catching punches with his face;DQuote:

His head is tired of being his defense but yeah, his biggest improvement in defense would be to move his fucking swede!Quote:

Agreed, I would love to see Cotto retire on a KO win. Poor guy has had everything working against him since Margacheato.Quote:

I am now at 180 lbs so Naz must be in that weight. I didn't realize how bad I look but then looking at Naz makes me think of going back to the gym again.
So you're like 5 foot 1 180 pounds? Are you by any chance Pac's fatass buddy Blueboy or whatever they call him?Quote:

LoL! Shit I nearly fell off my chair when I read that. I wanna see him face Brian Perez (Cotto's friend) in that burger eating contest, they've both gotta be world-class.Quote:

But on another thread you've just said that Marquez has no business being at 140...Quote:

In my opinion... Marquez is really sluggish above 135 lbs. he's badly beaten at 135 by Casa and Diaz tho he has the guts en route for winning.
Remember at Floyd-JMM fight Marquez is close to 140 weighing @ 142 he's slow even cant hurt Floyd tho he's at 146 at 140lbs up i guess Marquez lost his speed and punching power.
The problem now is Hatton can weigh back a healthy fighter at 140.?
He needs to win big time on his last hurrah then he can retire for good.
Doesnt fill me with a hell of a lot of confidence
Losing all that weight and going through all that pain just for a nights work knowing regardless of what happens you wont be doing this again.
I know ive been saying this a hell of a lot recently but....the guy is a mere 30years old and yet wants to hang it up.
Yes i know his lifestyle isnt suited for him going on much further...but he still could surely continue for a couple of years winning world titles at welter??
As much as i would love to see Ricky carry on a few more years he is way past his best ( Olivera fight at his best ) and the way he is now handling himself out-side the ring also concerns me, he seems to enjoying :-X himself way too much to justify a return on a long term basis. He now reminds me of the way Michael Gomez carried on in the latter stages of his career.Quote:

IMO JMM is the most winnable fight out there for him which would give him actual kudos (though again skewed cos the guy is considerably smaller, yet fits right in with Hattons misunderstanding of the p4p system.). JMM did NOT carry his speed and power up the weight and would prob be munched by Cotto, as wopuld Hatton.
i agree when it comes down to his outside life that if his head isnt in it there is absoloutely no point in ruining an outstanding career and becoming a punch bag.Quote:

Pac did it against a guy who wasnt even in the top 20 and whos best years were far beyond him.
Marquez realised from the 2ndround onwards he was out of his depth physically and chose to try and go the long way around beating floyd instead of going toe to toe with him and getting hurt by a natural 147pounder.
Despite beating diaz in 9 he struggled to physically impose himself that night also because once again unlike manny he was fighting a world class operator who had awesome punch power for a 135pounder and not....david diaz:o
Still i can see Hatton could be winnable against Marquez as long he's healthy to go at 140lbs where he's belong.
Marquez is not tested against a 135lbs above , how fool to jump 2 weight classes to fight unbeaten fighter like Floyd even he didnt even try 140lbs and he's hittable in 135 tho he's gutsy wins (Casa and J.Diaz).
Hatton could fight this Marquez for the last time.
Marquez also is in last hurrah he's 37. he's very hittable and some tendency you can see his skills are deteriorated when he's gaining weight or maybe on his age factor also.
