    HE is deluding himself these days saying the Mayweather fight was nip and tuck and he was winning the 2nd round of the Pac fight by a country mile

    yea ive been thinking the same thing. i doubt ricky can get down to 140 again and if he does he'll be so weight drained he'd get sparked even quicker. didnt he take the collazo fight at short notice aswell. take another crack at welter

    No 140 or nothing.

    He wasn't good at 147 in (or around) his prime so he'd be useless now.

    It doesn't really matter what he does, he is going to fail either way.
    Can you imagine how fat he is going to be when he finally hangs up his gloves!!
    Heart attack victim inside 10 years if he is not carefull.

    He may well boil down to 140 without any real problems if he has done it in the past but his recent fights show that he is really starting to slow up and lose his punch resistance. He cannot compete with a big name so will be fighting a bum who only his most ardent fans will be happy with. Unless he is deluded and really thinks he can mix it with the big boys, in which case he will make himself look like a complete idiot.

    Looks to me as though he is going to destroy what was a fairly decent resume.

    If he is to fight again i would like to see him at 147, even though i dont think he would be that effective, borderline top 10.

    But im only saying that on the basis of him being close to 300lbs in his recent pics. But if he can make 140 again and safely then why not give it another go if he treally wants to.

    What i would like to say is losing to Mayweather where he didnt do all that bad until the end. A pretty poor performance in his comeback fight and getting smashed by an absolutley brilliant punch by Pacman.

    Out of the people he has lost to what makes him "shot"?

    Yes he isnt as effective as he perhaps once was but his two losses have been against the two best fighters in the game.

    Its not asthough he was a dead man walking ala DLH.

    I think that's stretching things a bit mate. I get your point but he's not over 200lbs which in itself is bad enough for a wee man

    He beat Urango once so could he beat him once more?

    one of boxing's biggest myths, that Holt is a murderous puncher. at the top level, he has respectable power, that's all

    what you talking about "Oh dear" !!

    What have i said that ain't true ?

    What skills and quality has Hatton got these days ? He used to be able to get away with his one dimensional style coz he could eat the punches. Now hes seems to frail, Juan Lazcano bruised him up and hurt him, Paulie Malignaggi even made him think twice !!

    Holt aint a BIG puncher but he can still knock people out, he put Bradley down, and Bradleys a lot more tricky than Hatton.....

    He's looking about 14st=196lbs right now, if we go hypothetical and say he'l fight on the May 1st date thats 59lbs to lose in 13weeks or 4.5lbs per week?? I mean he was complaining of peaking 2-3weeks early in the pacquiao fight if hes looking at 140lbs he'll be peaked by March!!

    Can see it be named a lw fight and being changed to a catch-weight nearer the time if/when hatton cant shift all the weight
