ill be watching :)
They comes a time when when you should just say "enough's enough!"
This could prove to be worse than he realises. I will still watch, just through my fingers with a wince on my face.
looks like a BS traffic grabbing article to me and it looks like its referring to a very old interview with skysports.
I actually think I remember reading the quote they referred to not long after his Mayweather loss as there is jack shit on sky sports about this now...

"I think it will be around about the summer. I've had a good recharge of my batteries. I've totally put my last fight behind me. I've decided to give it another go. I don't want my fans to remember me by my last fight. And I want it to be a decent opponent. I want to finish at the top," Hatton told Sky Sports.
To fight Naz no doubt :rolleyes:
QUOTE:
Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton has confirmed that he is making a comeback, over three years since he was last knocked out by Manny Pacquiao inside two rounds in Las Vegas.
"I think it will be around about the summer. I've had a good recharge of my batteries. I've totally put my last fight behind me. I've decided to give it another go. I don't want my fans to remember me by my last fight. And I want it to be a decent opponent. I want to finish at the top," Hatton told Sky Sports.
A year after his defeat to Pacquiao, Hatton was captured on video taking cocaine which resulted in the former IBF and WBA light-welterweight champion entering rehabilitation. News of Hatton having an affair with a female fighter broke out about the same time but the Mancunian has gained the respect of the public once again by keeping his nose clean and focusing on his promotional career in the sport.
Opponents such as Amir Khan have been mentioned but further details have yet to be announced.
"..... by keeping his nose clean......"
No pun intended?
No way is Ricky coming back, way out of shape.

Looks like it could be legit.
But, I'll believe it when I see it and by "it" I mean the official announcement and press tour.
I hope it isn't so, hatton's style wasn't built for longetivity and his lifesytle wasn't either. As for malinaggi saying he could beat him yeah who knows maybe this version but he looses every time to ricky of just few years backQuote:

If it turns out to be true I would be both excited and gutted. He could well enhance his reputation and put some ghosts to bed by finishing on a win or he could seriously tarnish his career further by losing to a fighter he would have destroyed back in the day. Maybe he has seen something in Pacquiao's decline that makes him want to expunge that nightmare. Seriously though I think he would still be capable of sparking Bradley.
Why ? because he had 1 bad night in his career against a guy who everyone at the time was calling the p4p kingQuote:

Not at all, what he done when he was fighting ecplises most UK fighter, it's simply because he's now past it. I would be gladly proved wrong, but I just cannot see it happening. He would have to change his style of fighting cos at his current age and length of time outta the ring, he would struggle imo.Quote:

Imma put it like this hatton needs to just cut his losses and get out while he can cuz he clearly can't beat mayweather or pacman and in today's society if ur no longer in the running to beat these guys legitimately no one wants to see u.
They would have to find somebody in his weight class, what is King Kong Bundy doing these days?

I always thought Ricky cut out of boxing too early, but hey what are you gonna do? These guys make their own career choices and sometimes they know better, sometimes they mess up. I don't even like Ricky Hatton but I would have prefered he leave on a win and allow his fans to see him off in a farewell fight.
If Ricky does come back he should have 1 or 2 matches at 147 vs some easier opponents and then fight Amir Khan for a boat load of cash.
Ricky Hatton vs Nate Campbell at 147 in England doesn't look too bad to me...Junior Witter is still out there to fight, Ashley Theophane is out there, maybe Ricky Burns if Hatton can get to 140.
Then again, once you get the lights turned out on you and you have a style like Hatton's I don't think you can ever be "that guy" again.
You must mean kilos, cause no way is he hitting 140 lbs again. I'd watch Hatton fight again, but I doubt he'd make it back into good enough shape to fight. Then again, I never thought that I'd see Scott Harrison back in the ring, and we saw that last month.Quote:

At 140 he had his strength and relentlesness... At 147? He'll be fighting guys he can't just bully, his boxing ability won't make up the shortfall as it was neglected in place of conditioning/bullying a long time ago.
I honestly don't see what weight he can plan to seriously go back to.

That's my point.
I do not believe it he has not said anything publicly and the last time he did he said he was never coming back.
After khans second defeat in a row were does that leave him now ? I would love to see him in a big fight with hatton this could be mega.Hatton could end khans career and get himself right back in the running for a title.If hatton serious about a come back he must of been watching last night saying khan could be a easy nights work for me.
The only division Hatton would be coming back to is heavyweight and I don't think either Klitschko is interested.
Khan would not be easy work for hatton. Hatton couldnt make light heavyweight let alone light welter.Quote:
