    Default Re: Ricky Hatton comeback at 47!

    What's his weight ? He's probably Jarrell Miller weight. No offence Ricky but it's not like you were a legend of game, a generational fighter like Pac-Man and I don't even like his comeback. But this ? No Ricky. Why ? You're a trainer and you have a good stable of fighters. You're doing well at that. You ain't skint. So why ?

    Also Ricky had a young man's fighting style, square on closed range with short fast steps and slipping side to side with his gloves glued to his face and shooting upwards jabs. It was very physically demanding. You need to have great cardio, due to the constant foot work, and forcing the other fighter to fight every second of the round and explosiveness to use it effectively.

    We saw it in the Mayweather fight. Early on he was forcing Floyd to fight at a pace he didn't want to, to the point where I thought the fight was even at halfway.

    But you can't just half ass it or cruise through a fight using Ricky's style or you'll get nailed. It's a style that demands you not only be in great shape, you have to be a gym rat sharpening your combos and getting your timing right. It was kinda Cus D'Amato style.

    As we saw with Tyson against Jake Paul or even 20 years ago, Tyson against Danny Williams or Kevin McBride

    That style ages horribly

    And it's gonna look even more horrible on a less talented 46 year old man who has abused his body for the past 10 years named Ricky Hatton and that'll be true if (I assume) he'll be fighting someone his age.
