Re: Hatton Hints at Comeback....!
No Contest. Actually Bobby Pacquiao vs Ricky Hatton is not idea. Bob Pac is also a southpaw slugger. But not as fast and accurate like Manny. I'd give Ricky a good chance.

Totally agree, i think Kahn will knock him out if they meet, Hatton showed against quite a guy who wasnt even much of a puncher at 135 ( Lazcano ) that his resistance has gone, Hatton should retire.
Re: Hatton Hints at Comeback....!
Hatton never went away and he will beat Khan which will be his next and last fight if he can agree it with Warren.

That's not a knock on him, those are all either great fighters or very goodnight ones who were too big for him and/or like to put plaster in their gloves.
thats a very fair statment that,maybe my love for hatton clouds my vision sometimes, seriously tho on that night for me personally he looked unbeatable

Truth is we dont know how bad/good hatton could of been that night because it was over so quickly and the only underlying factor from the night was that hattons reflexes had clearly diminished.
As long as he stays away from the big 3 (floyd-pac-marquez) i see no reason why ricky shouldnt have at least 2-3 fights left in him.
If ricky wants to get back to the top and is prepared to do it the hard way there would still be huge interest both in the UK and across the world.If however hatton is planning one final payday against a complete no-goer like lazcano infront of 80,000 at wembley/manchester id just prefer he`d save everyone the trouble and leave the sport for good.
What we saw was bad enough. He wasn't going to get any better

MAY I SAY FOR THE RECORD THO, THE HATTON THAT BEAT TYSZU WILL BEAT ANY FIGHT FROM 140 TO 147 TODAY. i think after that fight he could never come like that again. long live hatton tho
No doubt. With the ref in his pocket, letting him do whatever he wants Hatton is damn near unbeatable.
to be fair tho mate tyszu gave as good as he got
Re: Hatton Hints at Comeback....!
What about a fight with Arnoutis? I think that would be a good matchup.

I've actually always wanted to see Ricardo Torres vs Ricky Hatton, i reckon that would be a tear up. Although with Ricky Hatton's punch resistance looking shaky lately i doubt it happens.

I honestly think Torres would KO Hatton early, Hatton should retire without a doubt.
Re: Hatton Hints at Comeback....!
Heavy gossip coming out of the UK is for a Khan match up, not really sure how this one would go. Khans suspect chin against , well Hattons suspect chin ! Khan might not be a huge one punch fighter but if he gets off some really fast clusters I could see Hatton in big trouble.
Hatton would probably have to be rushing in against Khan to put him off his game and not let him get settled into a rhythm, at least we know from the Pac fight he still knows how to show disregard for defence and go tearing in.
Always sad to see a fighter chasing one last win on the way out, said it before on here, if he loses does he try again, and then again .
All that said, in fairness Ricky hasn't announced a retirement so another fight wouldn't be a comeback, just another bout on the trail back to a title.
Good luck with whatever he decides.

No way Tyszu grabbed, held, hugged and fondled as much as Hatton. The ref that night was a joke
