Ricky Hatton Says "The Itch is Back" To Fight Again

[Junito-Rulez]

Hatton VS Hamed at 140 for 2010 !! Make it happen, the winner fights Erik Morales.

[TheUptownKid]

Malignaggi, Tszyu, Urango, Collazo, Castillo, Maussa, Phillips, Tackie, Lazcano, These guys are all decent fighters and are not exactly a walk in the park. It takes a better than good fighter to beat these fighters.

when i say he's bum i am not saying he is the worst fighter ever, I'm just saying his name does not belong in the history conversation unless mentioning his marketability. He beat good fighters, but none of their names should be in history, except the ones he fought on the verge of retirement. He is servicable as a fighter will still sell, but with the pedigree of fighters out now, I don't see him having a great shot at a belt anytime soon or even to crack that top 20 p4p conversation

that itch is coming from your 3rd chin you fat slob

oh ricky that itch you are feeling is your skin stretching which happens when you gain and lose 300 lbs a year!

[Bogler]

i'd like to see him come back. i dont think he's done. he needs the right motivation though, he cant come back halfheartedly or still have the ghosts of his knockouts, or else even a b-level would outclass him

its not discrediting a fighter to say the guy you beat is a bum. If you lose to a guy who is supposedly awesome then you say he's a bum then that's another story. kostya tszyu was 40 when he lost to hatton, collazo was robbed, castillo was on the verge of retirement and he almost died in the ring twice. Is malignaggi his landmark victory? Juan Urango? I don't want to be a hater, just explain why he is good

Collazo was not robbed, sorry but being dominated through out the whole fight and then hurting your opponent in 1 round is not exactly winning a fight.

Tszyu was 36, not 40. 1 year in boxing makes a difference, adding 4 years is ridiculous but hey anything to discredit some wins right?

I agree that Castillo was not the same fighter, but coming into the Hatton fight he was undefeated in 3 years so he wasn't as bad as your making him seem.

Malignaggi had his jaw broken against Cotto and still came back to lose a close but unanimous decision, Hatton stopped him.

Urango was a top undefeated JWW when Hatton beat him.

If Pacquiao blitzes Cotto or let alone beats him, people will see that they were wrong in calling Hatton overrated. How you have over 45 pro fights and only lose twice against two of the best of this era and be called overrated? is this really what boxing fans are for? to label fighters hype jobs for losing 2 times in a 40+ fight career??? that's pathetic.

I got Hatton's back!

hell ya man ive been sayin that for a long ass time green given for this post

[Bushidō]

[bluetuazon]

[Bigchill79]

dude you are makin a lot of sense and just ripped that kid apart good post...there are a lot of people out there that are really discrediting him for his great wins and yes you can pick apart anyones wins if you really want to get that deep into it...but it comes down to the fact that the fighters chose to fight hatton he didnt force them to so that obviously means that they didnt feel they were over the hill so if anyone is to blame it would be those fighters...ya hatton might not be one of the all time greats but he isnt "over rated" or a "bum" by anymeans...you dont become the lineal champ at any division for that long by being those things...all that being said i would like to see him fight either marquez, jaun diaz (if he can beat paulie for real this time), or any of the other top ten jww
