Gavin Rees would be a good comback opponent for Hatton! what do you think???

[porkypara]

Style wise it would be a good fight as Rees is a fighter who fights at 100 miles an hour from the first bell and is always in front of you.

Also he is a former world champ and would give HAtton a good fight if not quiet have enough to best him.

What do you think?

Whats the point of it though ? Ricky Hatton is clearly finished as an elite fighter, beating one of the worst title holders in modern day boxing, would prove nothing at all. And it shouldn't lead to anyother big fights either, as his health is a big concern to me.

If he wants to go out on a win, then i can understand that. And Gavin Rees would be an ok choice, because it would be entertaining. But as for a serious comeback to lead to other fights ? no way.

As you said Hatton is finnished at the top level and only plans to have 1 or 2 more fights anyway.

I think the 2nd fight will be Khan so the first fight does not need to be against a fighter that will lead to anything if you know what I mean.

I would love Hatton to have a brawl with Reese in front of his manchester fans then quit.

Agreed no need for Hatton to attempt a comeback and beating Rees would more then likely give him a false sense of capability.....Not even sure if he would beat Rees and that might be even worse for him....

I can understand him wanting to close out his career with a win but I would not fault him for a walkover bout or two then hang it up...No need to put himself in danger

No way, not for me id be dissapointed if he fought Rees.

[ono]

I wish people would stop going about how Hatton's ability has diminished because he got Ko'd by Pacquiao.

Is it just coincedence that everytime he's faced somebody who throws speedy combo's, he's struggled really badly?

It's like people think he went from being the greatest at 140 to being a guy who can't hang with the best at 140. If you keep him away from a slick fighter, he'll look pretty much as good as he always has done....

which is, all action, a little reckless, but he'll get the job done.

That said he performed well against Paulie who throws fast combo's in the fight before Pac, it was just a bad night against the P4P best in the world when he fought PacMan.

Exactly. People seem to forget how easily he outboxed Paulie, barely losing a round. That was was like 5 months before Manny, people have short memories.

Yeah but to be fair, Paulie fought with one arm...for whatever reason. Plus i don't think Hatton respected Paulie's power. Not even slightly.

Like i said, i don't think Hatton is that different to what he was around 3 years ago. Even the Lazcano fight, i didn't think he was that bad...certainly no worse than he's been against the likes of Vilches, Pedersen etc...

True.

To be fair, does any boxer respect Paulie's power


I cannot see any Casino's in Vegas being interested in showing Rees v Hatton, and from what one has heard Vegas is looking to be the venue for his bout.

[Gandalf]

I think Hatton is getting knocked a bit harshly these days, but then that is understandable considering he was out cold in only the second against Manny.

I'm not convinced that Hatton is done though, and think he might well have a bit left in the tank. As has been mentioned before, we all thought he looked great against Paulie and though the Lazcano fight is touted as a poor performance, Hatton did win almost all the rounds.

It's hard to conclude anything from the Pac fight as Hatton was in trouble from the off. He never got into it. I hope he picks a good opponent (not Gavin Rees) and I hope he looks impressive.

[Master]

Rees would be a perfect easy local opponent for Hatton. It would give him confidence and set him up for Amir.

My thoughts exactly.

[Violent Demise]

Rees is crap. Always has been. Bobby Pacquiao would be a more challenging opponent.
