becoming less and less confident in Hatton comeback

By someone decent you mean 'fighter of the decade' Manny Pacquiao. Hatton had Collazo off his feet at 147, and Floyd needed home advantage, a super-sized ring, Cortez, and a ringpost to KO Hatton who was a natural 140lb fighter. fan boy delerium - love it lol

I always felt this would end badly for Ricky, i think he'll start well for the first 5 rounds and then look very old and get picked apart by the fresher man. I hope i'm wrong, he was one of my favourite fighters

They made a documentary about him They made one about Roy Jones before the second Tarver fight They made one about Hamed before the Barrera fight They made one about Ali before the first Frazier fight They made one about Ali before the Larry Holmes fight And I feel like there's more The only time a documentary preceded a win was the Rumble in the Jungle (but that's assuming the documentary was about Ali and not Foreman :ugh:) They also made a docu following Amir Khan before the Garcia fight

They made a documentary before the Mayweather fight and the Pacquiao fight. :ugh: But that's a half ass documentary and they got those documentaries while all the conditions were in their favor Jones was coming off a huge cut in weight Ali coming off a 3 year lay off Ali severely aging and no doubt experiencing the earliest stages of Parkinson's Hamed... Barrera is a beast Hatton is coming off a long lay off, a huge fluctuation in weight, and severe aging...

I'll admit some ignorance here... I only knew a slight amount about Senchenko when the talks of he and Malignaggi fighting started, I watched a couple of his bouts on Youtube, but for some reason I thought he had a win over Joel Julio or somebody. Must have had him confused with Dzinzurik. Anyway... look at Senchenkos record guys. Look at it! The man has some skill, but he had never fought anyone even close to world class until Paulie. His best wins are against Charlie Navarro, who fought a close one against Sebastian Lujan, and some undefeated at the time named Yuriy Nuzhnenko, who went on to loose wide to Matthew Hatton. Ricky may indeed be shot, but a shot to **** Hatton should still steamroll this guy.

It all depends on his chin imo. His reflexes will be ****ed up, also his stamina. Still, it depends on how he will take those shots. If he will be able to, he might win the fight, otherwise he is going to get destroyed. one thing for sure is that he is already thinking about world titles and malignaggi: big mistake. He should start slow, he should have even started with an 8 round fight. This is what I was thinking. Take an 8 rounder against a no name with a decent record to gauge what you have let and where you are at now. Taking this fight is putting himself back in the world spotlight against a guy that is better than a lot of people give him credit for. If Hatton folds up in this fight, he won't be able to hide from the media, the fans, his neighbors....the embarrassment might push him over the edge.

You cant store fitness, and thats why people who just turned pro early in their careers dont fight 12 rounders and fight 6 rounds or whatever rounds it is. Hatton has had 3 years out, and only God knows how much actual exercise he actually did, like roadwork and stuff. Just cos he fought 12 rounders before dont mean to say he should go right at it. But we'll see. Ricky needs some body attacks as that is what bought him success. But Hatton was not an ordinary fighter, so maybe he can just comeback and be too good for most of the opposition not named Pac or Floyd.

Where can I watch the doc about this fight rocky is always entertaining to listen to It's on the channel5 youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/demandfive

sorry mate didnt read it! great minds and all that... No worries I think hatton will fold after a shocking realisation he hasn't got It in him after one round senchenkos jab will be the deciding factor

They made a documentary about him They made one about Roy Jones before the second Tarver fight They made one about Hamed before the Barrera fight They made one about Ali before the first Frazier fight They made one about Ali before the Larry Holmes fight And I feel like there's more The only time a documentary preceded a win was the Rumble in the Jungle (but that's assuming the documentary was about Ali and not Foreman :ugh:) They made a documentary before the Mayweather fight and the Pacquiao fight. :ugh:

It's kind of like the Madden curse I guess...it just falls into place like a piece to a puzzle. The writing is on the wall, the smell of fate in the air....we shall see on Sat if Ricky can deny destiny.

Don't worry for him, all he needs are his two uncles (Referees) Micky vann and Dave Parris and 80% of the fight is already in the Bag guys... LOL, this is true.

I have my doubts too 3 and a half years out after being annihilated,drinking and doing drugs and then too come back against a decent opponent i think its too much for him.I understand him saying that he needs too get back too get rid off his demons but what happens if he gets knocked out again is it back too the bad days.

By someone decent you mean 'fighter of the decade' Manny Pacquiao. Hatton had Collazo off his feet at 147, and Floyd needed home advantage, a super-sized ring, Cortez, and a ringpost to KO Hatton who was a natural 140lb fighter. Exactly, its not like Ricky lost to two guys that were decent, he lost to the two best boxers this side of the millennium. I think Ricky comes out with a passion and wins by a mid round KO. IMO he is going to be unstoppable this fight, just like he was on the night he beat zoo. The crowd chanting his name and the adrenaline of fighting again will put him on another level.

Just repeating everything I mentioned On that other thread sorry mate didnt read it! great minds and all that...

Just watched the channel 5 doc on his comeback and the more i think about this fight the more i feel Senchenko should be the favourite. The triangle theory of Malignaggi, Hatton, Senchenko is probably the least telling triangle of all time. You literally couldnt pick two fighters who were more different than Malignaggi and Hatton, not to mention the 3 year layoff, binge drinking, drugs etc. Senchenko is a solid boxer with a good jab and right hand, hes also a natural Welterweight. Can see Ricky being stopped actually. Obviously i could be proved horrifically wrong if Hatton really does bring his A or even B game, but this could be a big mistake by the Hatton team. I feel they should have picked a bum for his first fight, THEN go back to doing what Ricky does best taking on the hardest fights. Just repeating everything I mentioned On that other thread
