    Come back at 147..?

    He's been out of the ring for awhile now, he's older and maybe that extra 7 pounds that he has to loose will affect him now......

    Hes blown up to his heavyiest ever outside of the ring, since his Manny Pac defeat...

    Do you guys think Ricky Hatton will make 140 easy..?

    I know that at 147 its a tougher place to be..

    But i think Ricky Hatton should play with the big boys once again....

    147 is not a good weight for him.

    He's fought the best at that weight and lost. Leave it be.

    He never looked good at 147 so no.He should either make the lighter weight or retire.

    He can't compete at 147 and will be a shell at 140.

    I'd rather see him retire. It's not like he has a dazzling skillset/one punch power to bail him out even though he's lost a lot of what made him good.

    He was poor at 147 vs Collazo, then got schooled by Mayweather (not shame in that) at the same weight.

    Ricky needs to retire. Oh and lay off the kebabs.

    Don't think it will make any difference. He is shot to ****. The amount of weight he's gained will probably make him a corpse even at 147 and as said before he can't cut the mustard at welter. His ego is going to get him hurt unfortunately but that is so often the way with boxers

    No, Ricky is one of the greatest ever at 140...only losing once, and that was to a wild shot after winning the fight by a country mile. 7lbs north of that makes all the difference, he'd have beat Floyd at 140 even with Cortez as ref and wouldn've wiped the floor with Collazo but for getting a cold from the aircon in the hotel.
    boxing history is littered with guys who are great at a certain weight but can't make the step up 7lbs.

    No.

    His punch resistant is shot to **** at 140.

    Christ knows what would happen to him at 147.

    Unless he can find another feather fisted poofter like Paulie to fight he's in truoble.

    He should do what he wants, coz at the end of the day hes only gonna make a **** of himself again !!

    I don't know what 'big name' at 140 he can beat ?

    Bradley would smash him to bits, Khan would probably smash him up, Witter would probably smash him up at this point, Holt would spark him...

    He should fight Matt Hatton at the Man City Ground, and even if he looses he can say he lets his little bro win...... and his egos in tact
