    Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton Watch: Comeback Eyed For November 24th

    RICKY HATTON is on the brink of announcing a sensational ­comeback for late November.

    The former world light-welterweight and welterweight champion has been in talks with TV companies about screening his ring return after months of hard training.

    Hatton, 34 next month, has lost three stones in weight due to a training regime and healthy lifestyle – which he combines with his work as a boxing trainer.

    good on him for ignoring the critics and numpties saying he should stay retired.

    if ricky and his team who watch him day in day out feel as though he still has something then there's no reason for him not to come back. of course the worry is that ricky never had the best defence and no-one wants to see him eating more punches like the one that pacman landed.

    too many people are too quick to say that a fighter should stay retired. true alot of fighters make ill advised come backs or they stay in the ring too long (mosley and Ali). but thats mostly becaue of money. ricky isn't doing this for the money.

    besides sugar ray came out of retirement and toyed with a prime hagler so the doubters have been wrong before.

          How many years will writers push this "comeback" before they let the guy live his life outside of the ring?

            no shame in losing to two ATG's who were both in their prime.

            besides hatton gave mayweather one of his toughest fights and it was only the last few rounds where pbf finally adjusted.

            a resume that contains wins over collazo, castillo, lazcano, tszyu and malignaggi is pretty decent. not spectacular - but decent.

              This is the only way he can get his fighters on UK TV.

              He will lose his stable of fighters if he doesn't.

              Sad really

                wee Ricky knocked out again mid ring

                Oh to see the little white English elf wee Ricky Hatton stretched all 5'3" out cold mid ring again is priceless. Pick a beatable opponent a soft touch as usual for hatton.

                    Don't think it'll happen, he can use BoxNation as a platform for his promotional company.

                    If not, I'm sure he's not trying hard enough with other channels as the fact Fat Mick has secured a spot on C5 shows they don't know what they're doing.
