I think you people who are blasting Hatton for his choice of opponent are being unreasonable. You don't come back from a 3 year layoff and fight a top 10 guy. Especially when you're A) coming off a brutal, humiliating KO loss and B) coming back from a 3 year period of crazy weight gain and drug abuse. It would be absolutely rediculous for him to come back and fight a world beater. He needs to get back in the ring, get his confidence back and get a win under his belt, then go from there. Senchenko isn't a pushover and he can punch, so I think it's a reasonable comeback fight.

Mike Tyson didn't come back and fight Evander or Lewis right out of the gate. I know people will mention Ray Leonard fighting Hagler right out of the gate, but that's the exception not the rule. Hatton is in a very different place in his career than Leonard was at that time.
