Based on he said he's training with Bob Shannon... And I agree that hairdo is terrible lol. Hatton clearly wants the Malignaggi fight... He couldn't even name any other 147 champ, or at least isn't thinking about anyone else.
Shannon was at the presser and confirmed that Hatton phoned him to ask for his help on this comeback. Definitely not back with Billy.
To be fair he did say he would "love a run" at Khan and Brook, along with Malignaggi. Personally think 2 of the 3 are real possibilities. Brook is on a different path though and don't think they would meet. Maybe warm up fight > World Title fight Malignaggi > Khan defence > Retire?
Typical Hatton in the press conference today. Even more of a deluded clown than before. Basically a long-winded, big-headed, self-important, boring speech. Couple of typically lame jokes in there and a reference to being a City fan (which is bollocks). 3rd person, he basically kept harping back to the Tszyu fight, 'me fans', his world titles blah blah blah. Also slipped in excuses for his losses, now saying he was lacking drive towards the end. ****in joker.
But we did see a dip in his performances when he went above 140lbs. At 140 he was able to bully fighters.
Nah, the fighters were better at 147 than 140. He was able to bully them because they weren't as good.
I think he'll try and box more than before. He won't have that same burning fire and aggression that he had in his prime, so I think he'll go to 147 and try to re-invent himself a little and stand off a bit.
How many tickets sold so far then? I've already bought mine :yep I was too young for the prime Hatton bandwagon, I ain't missing this one
