Ricky Hatton sheds 47lbs on the road to boxing redemption

To be completely honest I think he should have stayed retired. He accomplished some great feats as a prize fighter and only lost twice to arguably the 2 best lighter weight fighters of the last decade.

After a rough 2 years with massive weight gain and drug abuse I think he wont get as far in his comeback as the British tabloids let on. He might take out a few of the weaker champs but against the elite he will fall short imo.

A mega fight in the UK against Khan would generate some big bucks, would be an interesting clash of styles

 

I imagine its hard when you retire on such a hiding as he took. Good chance to get back in the ring and give it a shot at redemption but I can't see it more than one last attempt for a big pay day. Needs to win this fight convincingly before a big fight and world title are even mentioned.mgood luck to him but can't see him dominating or holding onto a belt for too long.

 

It's about the worst possible reason for a comeback too.

 

Yeah mate. This fight will be Pretty tough first up match too. I think it will be a good yard stick to see where he's at. He is only 33 but as you said mate that life style will do a fighter no favours. Good luck to him.

 

Agreed...trying to prove something may mean he places enormous pressure on himself and in trying too hard, makes simple mistakes.
