Comments Thread For: Calzaghe: Hatton Will Not Get Any Better at Age 33

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world champion Joe Calzaghe, who retired several years ago, has warned Ricky Hatton his return to boxing could be a huge mistake. Calzaghe believes 33-year-old Hatton is putting himself at risk by returning. After three years of retirement, Hatton is due to make his boxing comeback on November 24 at Manchester’s MEN Arena, but an opponent has yet to be announced.

no hard

If ricky learns how to defend himself that would be an improvement.

Been a big hatton fan for years now im sure he still could do damage aslong as he gives pac and jr a wide birth.

I can see him steam rolling through paulie and be world champ again

war hatton

I think he can do well as long as he's matched carefully he defantly needs a few tune ups before looking for belts

[ColWallace]

A chorus of colleagues and friends saying 'Don't do it Ricky'. A couple of easy tune-ups and a Paulie rematch is okay if that's where it stops. But who wants to see Hatton fight nobodies, and who the hell would want to see Hatton vs Paulie 2? That fight was a stinker.

Hatton wasn't any good at 23

Little ricky wasn't very good when he was younger so coming back at 33 isn't the answer. easy fights are against opponents who cannot hurt the little round kid.

People will watch Ricky Hatton fight almost anyone.

Hatton >>> Calzaghe
At least Hatton fought the best and had a desire to fight the best.

Stand by your side of the pond's fighters, Joe. C'mon, man. I love Calzaghe, but Ricky's only 33 and just doesn't want to retire on that 2nd round KO. Don't blame him a bit. Best of luck to Hatton.

[Ravens Fan]

I consider myself a Hatton fan. Because he was fun to watch but realistically while in his prime he was a decent fighter at best. So, I believe Joe has a very valid point. But, in the end it is Hatton's decision to make and I wish him the best. Good luck Ricky!

Hatton will always get props from me because he came to the States and got in the ring with the best in the world.
