Hatton coming back at 140 not 147, looking at Urango rematch

[mrbig1]

I know my British brothers and Sisters love them some Ricky Hatton. I was never sold on him. I thought he was a punching bag with arms.

I've always been a fan, but never a fan boy, I've always known and stated his limitations (and predicted every single one of his fights I have seen correctly - god I'm amazing )... but I think everybody is going to far with condemnation of how good he was. He was never going to beat PBF or Pac, they are in a completely different league, but Hatton was a very good world champion and clearly the best fighter in the world at 140 for a good few years. He had a whole lot more than just stamina and workrate. As for now, he is shot to pieces and should retire.

Gotta say though, If I were him I wouldn't be able to retire ona defeat like that either

Nice post H, I reckon he was up there just was never going to be legendary. I do hope that he isn't being fed a line in BS about how he was beaten by a cheat blah blah, and then comes in less than 100%

Still reckon he should have called it quits though.

None! I heard Hatton interviewed yesterday and he said there was no point in coming back to take a fight that he was guaranteed to win (not that he would be) and that he would only be fighting the top man in a division or a p4p top 10 fighter.

I reckon he'll come back and beat somebody mediocre and then get knocked out inside 2 rounds by Khan

He wont fight Khan, ya can take that to the bank bud

If Urango wins his fight with Alexander Hatton will fight Urango and if he comes thro that a unification fight with Khan in his last fight.Thats what i think will happen.

Exactly.

I admire Hatton, but Urango catches up with his chin this time round i say.

[skel1983]

The thing is Urango will get whopped by Alexander so I cant see this fight happening. Marquez is the best option for me.
