Ricky Hatton Suffers Chest Infection, Halts Camp

[Jim Jeffries]

I agree that it is close. I think it is a bad sign.

Also it isn't as if his camp and advisers can't get him to try boxing he just doesn't stick to it. I really don't think he will ever box as good as he punches but if he consistently mixed it up a bit he would be a true threat at Welter not just Junior Welter.

Tough to be a great boxer with 20 inch long arms. His height and reach would be better suited to FW, but since he could never make that, he does the best he can with the limited gifts he has.

[MELLY-MEL...]

booooooooooooooooooo! not another postponement!

[KESSLER]

if hatton is a true warrior he will not cancel the fight due to some small illness.

I doubt they'll cancel it. Hatton has got alot of heart.

[sarlick]

yeah i hope they dont cancel it is always good to see hatton fighting even it is agaisnt a bum.

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

I doubt they'll cancel it. Hatton has got alot of heart.

[Drunk Punch]

Anyone wondering if he can't make the weight?

Hmmm. Not sure I am being clear. I certainly don't think he will ever be a great boxer. A rough and tumble punisher is his home. What I mean by boxer is move his head and body more effectively. Also work on being able to implement moderately effective techniques to throw off the opponent that is expecting the slugger. That works on most but not all. I don't disagree that he is doing well with what he has. My point is I do believe he can do a bit more with what he has.
