Comments Thread For: Hatton Very Concerned About Tyson Fury Making a Comeback

[ashadam]

I wish Tyson the best. People aren’t bringing up his hardest hurtle, mental illness. It doesn’t just go away. If he does come back I’ll be cheering for him

There was no mental illness that was a lie to hold up the PED case - I hope we never see him back in a ring.

Fury did have a training camp at least in the last 2 years and he is still only 29. Ricky Hatton was 34 and over 3 years out the ring.
Hatton would've won his comeback fight against Senchenko but he threw way too many hard shots in the earlier rounds that missed and he gassed out and got stopped, Hatton was actually winning the fight early on as well.

Hatton was an inside pressure brawler wherea Fury is an outside fighter who is tall for his weight.

There are no comparisons here other than the weight issues, Fury has way better Ring IQ also

I tend to agree with you. Hatton was definitely the better action fighter, was always fun to watch and seemed like a genuinely solid, blue collar, decent guy. Fury is less fun to watch and definitely more of a jackass, but I don't think that adds up to a quality judgment.

Though, in fairness, Ricky fought much, much better opposition, so that has to weigh in as well. Ricky probably wins the battle of blowing up to cartoonish pig proportions in between fights, but at least he always came into the ring in shape.
