I still think this is a ridiculously tough fight for a first comeback. Hatton took years to warm up for the Tszyu fight and that was a young, fresh Hatton. Hatton is coming into this off of a mad layoff and some seriously worrying wobbles and a KO loss. I suppose it is Hatton saying do or die. 'I've got it still or I am going to look a twit'. It's hard to say and Hatton of recent times has been somewhat revisionist and delusional. All that talk of P4P belts, then the aborted comeback. I just worry that he is going to get to the venue and think 'Fuck, I'm 34! My time was several years back'.

Mind you, in saying all that, it just makes this fight so exciting! I've not been so buzzed for a fight in ages and to think it is Ricky Hatton of all people! Cotto/Trout? Marquez/Pac? Honestly good fights, but the return of Ricky Hatton is a thrill all of its own. It's great to see him looking in such trim too. You don't do all that work for a laugh, if he really means it, then I'm in for the ride.
