ricky hatton to comeback as welterweight

[Gandalf]

If that's the case then Marquez should not fight him, I don't want to see more of this catch weight nonsense. If he's going to be a WW then he should stay there and beat some proper WW's.

I think Marquez will win regardless. Hatton doesn't have anywhere near the blistering speed that Mayweather has; that was the main problem for JMM in their fight. He took most of what Floyd threw without too many problems (other than the one knockdown). On the other hand, Hatton was hurt, knocked down and knocked out by Mayweather...

Well, it was timing more than speed which allowed Floyd to keep on catching Hatton as he came in. I don't know if JMM has the timing anymore.. but it's a good fight nonetheless, but I wouldn't take it if I was JMM, especially not at welterweight.. junior welterweight maybe.

Hatton is easier to time than most after he doesnt get his own way, he wades in all squared up expecting to out muscle others.
He got away with Kostya doing it in a tough fight because Kostya wanted it that way too and fought that exact fight and wanted to see himself who was the man at the weight.

Unless Ricky changes which is doubtfull now, these guys we are mentioning as his opponents are going to box correctly and take him down level at a time and finish him off embarrassingly frustrated.

Hatton coming back as a WW, says to me that ghetting back down to 140 after his latest hiatus is going to be too much. He clearly perfroms better at 140, but at either weight I see Marquez making easy work of him

ricky hatton would be lucky to get down to heavyweight now

Exactly.

I think if Hatton were to win this it would be as much an acheivment for his boxing as beating Tszyu, Marquez has shown he can take what the best in the world has to offer and Hatton will take more punches than Mayweather.

To be honest I see hatton getting stopped again but if he wins that would be very good for him.

He hasnt fought in a long time and didnt do many rounds in his last fight, he needs to get back with Graham, shiit or bust

Graham had him giving Mayweather more trouble than anyone else has up until he got sparked
