    Yeah you said that already. Good payday for the Aussie/Greek Gladiator, but a bit of a step up weight wise for him to trouble even a shot glass chinned Hatton too much.

    it's being reported on several sites

    By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton (45-2, 32 KO’s) will be taking a major risk in his first comeback fight by taking on the tough as nails Michael Katsidis (28-6, 23 KO’s) rather than an easy stiff, which is what Hatton probably should be fighting. The Dailystar is reporting that the 32-year-old Katsidis will be Hatton’s next opponent on November 24th at the Manchester Arena (formerly M.E.N Arena), Manchester, Lancashire, UK. Hatton will probably have a significant weight advantage over Katsidis for this fight. Katsidis proved recently that he’s too small to fight at light welterweight, and you got to figure that Hatton will be fighting Katsidis at 147. In other words, Katsidis could end up moving up two entire weight divisions to take the fight. Maybe with that kind of advantage Hatton can win.


    - if true sounds like typical boxing bollocks
    hang your heads in shame & I hope Katsidis puts him back into retirement

    To be fair, Katsidis is done and he himself knows it.

    This fight will give him an opportunity to go out with a bang. Big payday, big audience and even a chance to get himself another title shot should he pull the upset.

    Dont feel sorry for Katsidis, hes probably thanking his lucky stars. There arent any other opportunities of this scale available to him.

    At the very least, this will be a fun fight while it lasts.

    Taking a page from Oscar de la Hoya's "How to Ride off into the Sunset by Beating a Big-Name, Undersized Opponent", eh? Well.... at least Hatton's going one better. He's making sure he's picked a shot, big-named, undersized opponent. Oscar miscalculated with Pacquiao, and look where it brought him.

    because it muddies the waters for fanboys and casual fans - but hey-ho. Both shot, one with a big size advantage...only last week people were bitching about the size advantage Chavez had..same day weigh-ins...

    Hatton wasn't a big light welter so I'm not worried by the weight. Katsidis would be wise to fight at whatever weight he is comfortable at.

    So here comes the bellyaching already. One minutes Hattons shot the next minute he is being a bully by offering another shot fighter a HUGE pay day and opportunity. Ricky's opponent has not even been confirmed yet. You and Allthugz are both douche bag troll boys with tiny weeners and pea sized brains etc etc etc

    God you are both SO PREDICTABLE

    So what Katsidis is smaller, hes almost certainly going to he paid more than hes ever been paid before.

    Do you really think in a recession that Katsidis is going to give 2 fucks that Hatton will be stronger? Where else is Katsidis career going right now?

    He will know hes there to have a scrap for a couple of rounds, look brave, take a beating and fold from a left hook to the ribs

    No one is blaming Katsidis for taking the paycheck.

    So.....

    Your having a go at someone whos now 35, hasnt fought for over 3 years and whos last fight got flattened inside 2 rounds having a soft touch comeback fight.

    Lets not forget either that no one will be holding agun to Katsidis head to take the foght and do it for free!

    Would you prefer instead of a name who deserves to have such a massive opportunity, it go to a journeyman bum with a losing record?

    Would that be more acceptable?

    For fuck sakes theres some, myself included who feel that taking on such a rough hard bastard, it could all go tits up. Maybe Hatton should do what Harrison did and get some european no mark.
