Hatton Proved To Dela Hoya and Calzaghe It's Almost Impossible To Make A Comeback

[Simurgh]

Don't forget the quality of opposition he's faced since he came back.

Nevertheless.. Senchenko is not a GREAT fighter.

Vitali fought Peter after 4 years off who most certainly was better fighter.

George Foreman begs to differ.

George Foreman begs to differ.

Foreman is other good example. Those are sort of people who will be successful in more or less whatever they do - they are disciplined. I really respect that.

George Foreman begs to differ.

Yes, as does Ray Leonard, whose comeback is the greatest of all by far. But they are truly amazing feats which will rarely, if ever, be repeated.

It's not that black & white.

Hatton was a face first, come forward brawler who's out of ring antiques if what made him retire in the first place. He ended ballooning in weight, losing it and attempted to make a come back. But his style demands that he be at his peak, he had no Olympic winning boxing skills to rely on or extraordinary power.

That depends on so many things. Fighters in the past have taken years off and come back with success but they usually stay in shape while they were off. Mayweather and Leonard both took years off and came back strong. Fighters vary in the age they go over the hill even if they do everything right. Hatton was not looking very good when Pacquiao KOed him. Maybe if Hatton had not retired after Pacquiao he would be just as finished by now and would have lost this fight. If a fighter gets out because of poor performances like Oscar and Ricky then they should stay retired because being years older won't help them. If they get out when they are still fighting well and winning then they might make a successful comeback if they take care of their body. Calzaghe went out on top and might have been able to come back but it's been a long time and maybe he did not take care of himself. Ricky might have been done after Pacquiao and Oscar also. They should stay retired.Holyfield never retired but he should have retired many years ago but he won't face reality.
