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:

I kind of hope he fights Marquez because I'd get a ticket so I could see the legend in the ring (that's Marquez, I already saw Hatton do his violent drunk imitation against Pacquiao) & a guy who is one of my favourite fighters score what I'm certain would be a great KO.
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:
