If Ricky Hatton did the following would you consider his comeback a success?

EDL v Khan's army ha

 

if he doesnt take the bet, i will....cause he's right...hatton wont get past senchenko

 

he's already taken the bet.

I honestly can't see how with any confidence you can say that, if Hatton is even... 40% in the ring he still has a great chance of beating this fella, typical straight lines, straight up and down eastern euro, jab, right hand thats it. Slow footspeed, flattering ko%, I think he's a stylistic godsend for Hatton after watching as many of his fights as i could find.

He needs that mid range distance to do anything, Hatton just needs to storm straight in and pin to his chest and he'll be helpless.

 

He stopped his last comeback because he had trouble in sparring. 3 years 'rest' doesn't mean to regain your punch resistance...

I fear for him but Senchenko is no great shakes at all. The guy got stopped by Malignaggi, the same guy Amir 'iron jaw' Khan walked through lest we forget.

 

No but during his last attempted comeback he was on substance abuse, and his body was badly weight drained

i've said it before, you cannot continuously drain yourself and expect your chin to hold up, look at Chad Dawson getting dropped by Ward's pillow fists after taking the best Johnson, Tarver and Pascal could dole out, weight

the difference this time is that Hatton got his body down safely, and got used to walking around in the mid 150's, with an extra 12 weeks to get to 147, and go through a camp

I might be wrong and his chin may have gone, but Im just going to wait and see, because I think a lot of it was down to weight drain before.

The old "once you drain yourself once you have no chin for the rest of your life" is bull**** that Roy Jones ******s made up, his chin was always ****, hattons wasn't, and I do think he can get his punch resistance back to an ok state by being healthy

 

Also the break might help him, I was badly concussed a few years back when I got ran over by a car, and I was not allowed to play rugby again for 9 months.

Now i'm not a neurosurgeon but there may be some corrolation between continuous blows to the head, and the ability to take a punch, and the fact that i was eventually allowed to play again must mean there is some healing/rest factor for heavy concussion

 

yep, when badly concussed you shouldnt plasy any sports as they can cause damage again after eassily. once youve been concsussed once, it is much easier to be concussed again.

 

no way hatton beats khan after this lay off

 

You're right, Senchenko is completely featherfisted :-(

 

well it wouldnt be after this layoff, it would be after 2 fights

 

that's what they will say after Hatton wins, "he'll get beat as soon as he steps up tho"

mark it

 

doesnt matter he still has a long lay off now to cope with, he will never get to a khan fight unless he wins his comeback and they make it there and then to cash in, which is what i expect they are all planning, glory my arse hatton is back for cash

 

WTF?

So what is he supposed to fight for free or something?

Of course any fight he's in is going to make money, any big fight he is in is going to make big money, that's just the way it is people pay big money to watch him fight.

As for "not back for glory", what so beating Khan is not an achievment, the same Khan you just said he'd lose to?

I'm not sure where you are coming from, do you want him to fight Lucas Matthyse straight away and donate all the procedes to charity or something to satisfy you lol.

 

Hmmm man with no avatar takes avatar bet
