NOTW: Hatton to continue, comeback in Manchester possibly against Steve Forbes

Hatton vs Katsidis would be the fight I would want to see....still would prefer him to retire though.

 

I'm not one of the Witter brigade but from Hatton's point of view I think that is the only fight worth making if he were to return. Especially should Witter regain the WBC strap- Hatton could bow out in a world title fight in a domestic barnstormer. I too would rather he retired, though.

 

Retirement is preferable, unless he is purely after the money.

A Katsidis fight does little or nothing for his legacy; a guy who is coming up in weight, who has been KO'd by old man Casa and outworked by Juan Diaz.

As a fan I would love to see it; it would be a barnburner of a bout, but as said what does it do for Hatton............**** all, thats what.

 

This is totally and utterly pointless. Win Lose or Draw

 

I agree it doesn't do anything for his 'legacy' - but the other viable fights that would do something for his legacy, Witter, Khan, Bradley etc. all start out as favourites against Hatton and I would rather see him go out on a win than suffer another loss.

 

Please don't mention Bradley. The guys on the general talk like he's the second coming of Christ!

 

Nah they don't. Hatton is still a 1/3 favourite over Khan according to the bookies. I'm sure he'd be a slight favourite over Bradley and Witter also.

 

I wouldn't say Hatton starts out as underdog against Witter, Bradley or Khan.

What makes you think that Kosaros?

Witter has been inactive and has lost his last fight.

Bradley is giving away a lot against Hatton physically, and wasn't exactly sparkling against Holt; in fact Holt looked the superior operator when he decided to throw a punch.

Khan..............................CHIN and UNTESTED (Prescott fight doesn't count, and if it did he failed that test emphatically).

 

He is the recognised number 2 in the division, so he had to be mentioned

 

Steven Forbes is a big name.














In the political world.

 

Man, they love him. Let's face it- the guy was dropped twice by Holt and didn't look convincing either. I like the way that he always accepts challenges but I just don't rate him. For me, Nate's got his number.

 

the only fight worth any challenge ( and direction) to hatton now should be with jnr Witter, settle a grudge then retire ,

 

If theres one guy not worth fighting IMO its Khan.

Hes not very well rated by many boxing purists and yet Roach knows Hattons strengths and weaknesses inside out.
Khan also has bigtime speed which is what Hatton struggles with so it becomes a case of Hatton being able to get at Khans chin or not, which wouldnt be easy IMO as Khan is the much bigger man.

 

Personally, I think Witter stops him - he has a good punch and an awkward style for Hatton to figure out - plus would Hatton lose his head like in the Mayweather fight?

Bradley I think could outhustle him, he is the younger and fresher of the two and would be more up for this fight than Hatton.

Khan, ok I would have it 50-50, because Hatton only needs to catch him once - yet speed kills and that could be the deciding factor in this fight.

Those are my thoughts, but would love to see Hatton win any of them if any happened though.
