God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I'll say it again, God is a concept, By which we can measure, Our pain, I don't believe in magic, I don't believe in I-ching, I don't believe in bible, I don't believe in tarot, I don't believe in Hitler, I don't believe in Jesus, I don't believe in Kennedy, I don't believe in Buddha, I don't believe in mantra, I don't believe in Gita, I don't believe in yoga, I don't believe in kings, I don't believe in Elvis, I don't believe in Zimmerman, I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me!!
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.

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!
Judah would have absolutely massacred even a prime Hatton; I'm hard-pressed to think of a worse match up for him. Judah was a slick southpaw counter-puncher with power in both hands. He would have hit Hatton with punches he never saw coming and I dont think Hatton would last to the mid-rounds.
If Hatton even has even half a chin left and a shred of defense, he can beat Maidana. I do agree with that.
Fuck off mate, you're boring.
I think the 4 that voted for Hatton winning a world title again forgot that the WBU isn't one of the big 4 sanctioning bodies.
Hatton has precious little chance of ever winning a world title again. I reckon maybe a British or European strap tops, but Euro would be a massive stretch. As Gandalf said, his stamina and chin were already beginning to go so it's not like coming back AFTER his massive drugs bender and becoming obese are going to have helped that.
This is what I'm thinking. If he has any sort of form left, he'll probably be manouvered into winning a trinket on account of being such a big draw. Whether he'd even want to go up against anyone truly dangerous is another thing entirely. I haven't been keeping up with boxing for the last month or so, assuming he plans to fight at 147 though? I think considering a Malignaggi rematch makes so much sense that will likely be his shot to.
