    Do you think Ricky Hatton is endangering his health by returning to boxing?

    No flames or hate please, just an honest opinion.

    I don't think he is to that much of an extent, I mean, wheat happened to him against Pacquiao was bad, but i think that if Ricky can get his weight down SAFELY, then he should be ok.

    Ricky needs to spend a few months eating healthy and detoxing, with "light" exercise, no alcohol or bad foods.

    Then he should enter training camp, maybe fight again in Oct/Nov

    His bodys ****ed atm

      I agree 100%, if he gets down to say 150, and stays healthy, and at that weight for a couple of months, and then enters camp, i think he will be a different fighter.

      if he goes into camp at 180 or whatever he is now then he will probably look terrible again.

        ricky still has a couple of fights left in him as long as he stays away from the elite fighters,he can still compete at 140,stay away from bradley and judah and he stands a chance with the others,not sure if he can beat them or not but it would be good to see him fighting again

          He chose to take punches for a living in order to get money just like every other boxer. He's going to stay boxing until he's not able to anymore.

            I really want to see Hatton return because I don't believe he is as shot as everyone thinks.

              i think ricky'll be fine, hes still a decent fighter. i think hhe should stick to welterweight though, his body has gone through too mush chite to make 140 again.

                It's kind of a double-edged sword to be honest. On the one hand by coming back to boxing he'll at least be exercising and whatnot compared to how he is without boxing, but on the other hand is all that weight fluctuation healthy? And then there's the getting punched too much in the head aspect of it.

                  He is endangering his health by boxing, but then again, every boxer is endangering his/her health.

                  He really should just find some other type of exercise and learn to be more moderate in his alcohol/junk food consumption.
