    Its just shy of nine weeks since Hatton-Pacquiao. Ricky looks pretty heavy in the clip, heavier than he normally is when he's out of training!

    IMO, he did not sound too convincing when pressed on the issue about a comeback. I'm not so sure if Ricky thinks he's heart is in it anymore? He has already said his family was in bits after the Pacquiao so he has that to think about aswell. Must be hard for him, but losing is part of Boxing!

    If he does box again, he's going to have to put some serious work in the gym over a period of three months becasue he will have some weight to shift, no doubt about that!

    A guy like Freddy Roach would not stand for Ricky being in such condition at the start of a training camp!

    I think if he does fight it should be a farewell for the Mancunians with a soft-hitting opponent (now would have been a good time to bring Malignaggi in) who doesn't end up hurting the guy.

    It's the kind of fight that wouldn't be acceptable DURING a career but is reasonable for a last fight.

    At the end of the day he was a huge fighter in the North, and among the biggest in the UK as a whole.

    Sure, I would have liked to have watched Hatton-Khan or Hatton-Witter, but sometimes it just doesn't happen and I think he should only take those fights if he intends to continue boxing, and not as a farewell.

    There are advantages to pissed up hatton interviews. Sure he stutters a lot more, but he goes easy on third person references. It wasn't 'Ricky Hatton's been in the gym, er the boxing, to be honest Ricky Hatton has been to the gym' now was it?

    Not entirely true.James Toney enters camp around 265lbs I've heard.Saying that,it'd be better to come in shape so you can focus solely on boxing not shifting weight
