    "I got a sneaking feeeling I'll probably give it another try. Everybody becomes an expert all of a sudden," Hatton said. "But Muhammad Ali's illness is a bit of a one-off case. It is sad to see him at times, but nobody knows me better than I know myself. I've got a good team and family around me."

    "If the time comes for me to hang it up my gloves then I will. But I know my body better than anyone. For everyone that has gone on too long there is one that carried on and became even more successful when people have said they should retire. Many great fighters such as, Arturo Gatti, and Robert Duran, have had crushing defeats and come back to win titles."

    Unless he's going for another 13-week training camp, he's going to be fighting at Middleweight.

    I wouldnt mind seeing Mosley put Hatton into a Coma in the UK. Shane deserves that and im sure drunken Brits would sell the place out.

    if he does ,he should not fight at 147 he should stay at 140 and should fight a lesser opponent for his first fight back

    It took him 13 weeks of training to make 140 for Pacquiao, coming off a solid victory and a standard Hatton bulking-up period; he came in the ring pretty depleted, feeling as if he'd left it in the gym and with poor punch resistance - not that it affected the outcome. He's really let himself go this time, and has probably put on at least 3 stone; no way he makes LWW now without looking like a thunderbirds doll. It's 147+ or bust.

    he has stated he can't fight at 147 though...so he drains his body 40 50 lbs to `140 so he is huge...then he mauls who he fights the whole time...then he fights 2 class strong fighters and gets crushed.....who can he beat at 147

    He sucks at 140 because he has ZERO skill to fall back on. He has to be BIGGER then his opponent to win.

    Wow, sounds a lot like Wlad . . . although, admittedly, Wlad does possess more skill.
