    Forbes is all wrong for him.

    That would be a terrible fight for him in his comeback. He'd end up winning a decision, but there would be more questions than answers. Even in his prime he'd struggle with somebody as slick inside, and quick fisted as Forbes.

    Forbes............

    After that please retire - we don't want him in with a hard puncher, in fact I don't want to see him carry on.

    Forbes is just a possibility. Maybe Khan if he beats Kotelnik :think.

    Steve Forbes? :roll:

    Hatton must truly believe himself shot-to-**** then.

    Awful fight. Totally uninspiring. Milking his fans.

    Forbes might get the decision.

    Why??? Just retire, Rick. You got nothing to prove. Obviously just wants a homecoming.

    Not exactly a mouthwatering fight for the Hitman.

    I know he needs to get himself back on his feet, but in all honesty I think its time he retired. What possible fight can he build towards with this one? Is he hoping he can pick up the remains of Marquez after Mayweather has finished with him, because that is the only meaningful bout he has left. Apart from that its just the LWW fights against Witter, Bradley, Torres etc.

    Unless Mr Khan is being lined up:think:deal

    Ricky Hatton is deluding Rick Hatton if he's going to fight on.

    I would be happy with a Khan/Bradley fight because I know they can't hurt Ricky badly.

    If he's outboxed fine, thats his own fault but i don't want to see the bloke out cold again.

    Nate would be good. Nate is a good inside fighter, an active fighter if the styles are right, that is guaranteed excitement. Plus a decent scalp.

    Forbes isn't going to get anything. No plaudits, no excitement, and ****...he makes you look awful because he's hard to hit. He made Oscar look bad, Oscar looked busted up. Even Berto didn't make that much impact on him.
