ricky hatton to comeback as welterweight

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

I went to both his defeats in vegas he never let me down,i was gutted he lost but that is boxing at the end of the day! he let himself down by lossing his head and fighting like he did.But at least he wanted the biggest fights out there and wasnt afraid of fighting them even if he did get beat he fought the very best!

not really, he ducked plenty of big names at 140 and that much more at 147

I don't know about that. The only fight I would say that Hatton ever "ducked" was the rematch with Collazo. I guess you could make a case for Witter, but that dead horse has been beaten for so long that it's turned into glue.

Indeed. Hatton would have Mauled Witter and Collazo... Well, Ricky didn't want to dip his toe back into that water anytime soon. Collazo is dangerous to ANY top Welter.

...But who else did Ricky "duck"?

Hatton has had a very good career and there is no shame in the Mayweather loss, but I must admit that I was dissapointed with the Pacquiao performance. Hatton was floored twice and battered unconcious in the second. He fought an awful fight and was shown up from the off. It was a downright peculiar showing and very frustrating.

Having said that, I think a Hatton with his head screwed on right can beat Marquez. Marquez doesn't belong anywhere north of 135.
