Ricky Hatton long term goals in his comeback

i dont think he wants any part of a rematch with floyd if you listen to him in interviews he knows he was outclassed..
if he's successful in a couple of decent fights and mannys offered i think hed take it you can tell it really burns deep how he went out against pac-man..... and if he did youve gotta say 'fair play' to him cos that was one of the most brutal knock outs in recent times

EDIT:
but your right i see him more fancying a domestic showdown with brook of kahn & i bet hes praying that morrales hands garcia a beatdown so he can set up that fight

 

I can see him rematching Malignaggi if hes succesful in his next fight, and providing he beats Paulie (in no way a sure thing) I could see him chasing either a legend like Morales as previously mentioned, then retiring. I dont expect him back for more than 3 or so fights.

 

1) Money for pies
2) Money for guinness
3) Money for coke

 

Ego, pride, call it what you will..

2 brutal losses when he's stepped up to world class can't be easy for him. At a guess, I imagine he's been thinking about all the **** he did wrong in his preparation for fights & it burns him up.

He ain't coming back for the money, he's coming back to right the wrongs. Could backfire spectacularly.

 

hatton WAS world class

 

Even now I think Hatton beats the **** out of Khan, we all saw Peterson pressure and bully him, the only chance Khan has got is if Hatton is completely shot and his punch resistance is as bad as Enzo's.

 

I think he would be mad to contemplate rematches with Mayweather or PacMan. But I think he is mad coming back full stop. It will be interesting to hear who he is taking on first up. I hope it is a good opponent for the sake of the 18,000 people who have already paid.

 

hatton-brook 100% will never happen
hatton-khan is very unlikely, considering khans sellability in america has dropped considerably no amount of money offered domestically would come even close to these 2 taking a fight on

fights with malignaggi, marquez even danny garcia are very possible down the road, but on IF the american tv companies buy into hattons comeback as a legit attempt at dominating divisions once again

otherwise i fear hatton will be just a domestic showcase for the next 18months to 2years, going on to win a version of a world title that doesnt really come with the pride of his previous endeavours but allows him to retire as a world champ which is the dignity he wanted to go out the first time around

 

Why? If Haye v Harrison can sell...Brook v Hatton #waroftheroses can! Would be huge and i mean HUGE in the UK especially if Hatton wins the WBA strap and Brook the IBF next year. Think about it, there would be no other fight

 

If Brook is IBF Champion the by Spring next year, he is in the running.

Khan could lose his next fight no problem.

 

Win a World Title again
2 or three decent wins and fights
entertain the fans
retire on his own terms
shut up the ****ing idiots

 

we had the same argument when hatton was doing his thing in america with those demanding hatton-witter

we had the same argument when people were calling for p4p all timer to fight carl froch who at the time was a relative argument

both times i clearly explained that the match making in boxing is a combination of risk level vs money, and that like the 2 situations above the bigger named fighter would weigh up these 2 options and conclude that the risk far outweighed the payday

 

Different scenarios totally to a potential Ricky Hatton v Kell Brook unification match up.

 

if hatton impresses on nov 24th he will be faced with 2 options....

1 go to america and fight the likes of malignaggi, matthyse, peterson etc

or stay at home and fight amir khan and kell brook (this being the only country that would really warrant any real attention) for a small portion of the cash he would earn stateside

know what option id choose
