If Hatton wants to comeback - so be it.
Magee was underrated anyway imo, a slick southpaw made of iron! Tricky fighter for anyone...

Hatton got back up and boxed a very intelligent fight.

I don't remember phillips knocking him down, i remember hatton busting vince up big style!

Hattons chin was rock solid. I believe that his punch resistance has deteriorated as a result of lifestyle. If you doubt his chin in his prime, take a look at the Tszyu fight. Hatton walked through some absolute bombs. Castillo and collazo landed too.
Phillips didn't put Hatton down he seriously rocked him though. Hatton admitted it afterwards, saying - he didn't know whether he was in Manchester or Vegas at that point.

Magee and Philips were before Kostya. Lazcano and Collazo hurt him after Kostya. Urango hurt him to the body.

There's no evidence Hatton was ever knocked out/hurt through wear-and-tear. He's been hurt numerous times during his entire career.
