I reckon he should if he carries on fighting. Khan aside I reckon they would be very good options for him.... thoughts?
I reckon he'd lose to both. Cotto is too big and would KO him. JMM would make him look silly. If he does carry on fighting I suppose he should fight JMM as that shouldn't be as brutal since JMM is smaller than him. But still I think he should pack it in. Or fight Khan.
If he does decide to come back I would have him in at least two warm-up fights first, maybe a comeback against a gimme opponent and then a fight with a solid fringe world-class guy (maybe someone like Steve Forbes or D Hopkins) who could show whether he still has it. If so then maybe a fight with one of those gys could be a consideration. I would have these in quick succession without giving him the chance to get out of shape or put his feet up in between fights. Regretably, as I doubt he has the desire or discipline to do this I can't see it coming to pass.
With Hatton's defence and JMM combinations that doesn't end well. I think Cotto destroys him also. I would prefer him to fight khan or go back and pick up a light welter title and retire
:dealAll of this. The Witter fight is the only one I wanted to see but after Witter's last performance, that will now never happen:-(. There is not a lot of choice left for Hatton now if he returns, all of the fights he can win won't happen because they won't make enough money. Just retire, Ricky, there's no shame in your record.
Hatton and Witter should be thinking of nobody else but each other. Hatton gets sparked by these 2. Bradley would beat him and Alexander has every reason to believe he could too. Witter isn't marketable enough to be thinking of the likes of JMM/Cotto and has been beat by Bradley and Alexander. If these 2 have a single fight more which isn't each other then its a disgrace IMO. Both ****ed it now on world level. 1 last fight, bragging rights forever, at the MEN or small stadium. Top atmosphere and it'll give everyone what they want. Both are at similiar stages in there careers so have no 'i'm past it excuses'. There careers should end with this fight and this fight only
If not Khan then Cotto I'd like.... Cotto vs Hatton would be a true crossroads fight as they would of just been beaten by Pacquiao and the winner gets another shot at the big time and the loser retires, one can only hope. I've always wanted to see Hatton and Cotto face each other anyway just the set the record straight. It's funny that i always hoped that Mayweather, Cotto and Hatton would all get to face each other and king of be like the modern day version of Hearns, Duran and Leornard.... now it looks like little Manny Pacquio will probably walk through all three of them! The irony.
bad news i reckon he is hoping for marquez bargaining on the bigger man situation again though didnt seem to work well against pac the super fly
Ben do you even like boxing ? Or is that the reason you spend most of the time on the Choi thread Pacquiao walks through Floyd and Burns aint on Mitchells level ? :good
Pacquiao can walk through Floyd.... maybe. We will have to see what Floyd fights like next before either of us can say for sure. And I would also say Mitchell is a league above Burns.... who I can't stand.
yeah but your quote was 'It looks like he'll walk through the 3 of them' He has not yet walked through Cotto, although I do expect him to win that one. There's no way he walks through Floyd though. If Floyd looks **** against Marquez he wont take Pac on until he's ready so thats irrelevant. And your letting your personal views on Burns cloud your judgement. I'm almost certain if the next fight both have is against each other, Burns beats mitchell
