    Sorry if this has been posted but according to boxrec Hatton will make his comeback against Isaac Hlatswayo in May at Welterweight.

    Can someone please tell me this is just a boxrec mistake, not exactly the big homecoming fight expected.

    Ive always kind of stuck up for Hatton, even against my fellow countryman but i cant believe that this will wash with the fans.

    The guy has an average record on paper with a couple of decent wins but knowone knows him, well i knoiw ive never heard of him anyway.

    With a Witter fight seemingly easy to make, i cant buy how anyone will fall for this.

    I hope its just one of the boxrec fantasy matches.

    This is ridiclious. Amir Khan would get stick on this forum if he fought this guy! Theres no way this can be Sky Box Office! especially if the undercard is as **** as it was for Mayweather vs Hatton!

    I wont pass comment on a rumour. But if it is true and the fight is made, I wont be paying to see it, in fact I wont bother to watch it full stop.

    Why is he staying at 147 when there are loads of fights to be had at 140? Guess it's a convenient way to continue to avoid Witter.

    Good god.

    How did i ever support this guy.

    Im ashamed....worse still if this is true.

    Still the Man City fans will probably still turn out in their droves for this one.

    Pathetic if this is true, and I reckon the only reason its at 147 is that Hatton cant be arsed making 140. I hope he loses for this.

    Who is his promoter these days ?

    His not with Hobson any more is he ?

    Warren was dumped a while back.

    So I guess if this is true then maybe it was not all Warrens fault that Hatton faught many cans during their time together.
