Perhaps to help get another sky contract!

I would like to see Hatton in one easy one and then assess if he still has it.... then Khan.

I don't want to see him lose, but I don't want to see the last vision of him being on the canvas. He's an intelligent man, I'm sure he can assess if he still has it.

[Chris W 1982]

His Journey has been awesome.

I hope he's got one last great performance in him. A british great who took the sport to the absolute mainstream.

[Deno1986]

I'm looking forward to seeing his final comeback and who he is going to fight.

Is he coming back at 147? He surely can't make 140 comfortably anymore.

Not very original but my money is on Marquez at Welterweight

I think the writing was on the wall after the Lazcano fight but he and his team failed to notice it,maybe all they could see was dollar signs,this won't end with one fight,if he is poor in his next one then he will blame ring rust and try again,it will be such a shame to see him beat up again and prostrate on the canvas,i just hope he doesn't get hurt.

[stujones]

I think Hatton fought a tactically poor fight against Lazscano (a slow, tough Mexican who Hatton tried, and successfully out "mexicaned") - I failed to see him as hurt as others did and he was brilliant against Malignaggi.

I needed to feint and box more against Lazcano. His style made Laszcano better than he is.

[Asterix]

I'm pretty sure it will be at welterweight. Marquez does seem the most likely. Even though it's sort of a meaningless fight, it would probably be a good spectacle.

I think Marquez would fit the bill if it is going to be Hattons last fight- Big name, future hall of fame candidate, beatable at the higher weight etc. Maybe fight at a 144/5 catchweight.

Urango at 140 would also be an option because of the belt on the line but he has to get past Alexander in March first. Hatton-Urango II doesn't exactly get my pulse racing. Getting down to 140 can't be good for Ricky considering his current weight.

[alexpaterson]

I would like him to have a warm up fight to asses if he feals he can still compete and if he feels he can then Bradley the top man at LWW and it would be a big fight that Bradley deserves

[CheckHook]

I don't want to see Hatton at 140 again, personally. He should be looking at 135-140lb fighters and fighting them at 144-147. That way he wont be giving up weight but doesn't run the risk of leaving anything on the scales. At 140 I see him getting stopped again.

yeah agreed.

a test the waters fight.

someone like nate campbell or ricardo torres would make sense.

looks like he wants a name though.

I think that's what he's going to do, fight Marquez (135 lbs fighter) at 147 lbs.

[leforge]

I reckon end of May at Eastlands.

[leforge]

Hatton going on family holiday before training he be about 15stone by then!

[Deno1986]

Marquez is booked in to fight at the start of May in the MGM so it would depend if he is willing to give up that payday.

[leforge]

Not healthy at all. Could be Khan if he leaves Wazza?

Who would Marquez fight in May?

Not a clue mate. All I know is he is booked in to fight. There have been rumours of Katsidis at lightweight, Kat is fairly sure he is fighting him judging by what is on Skytext.

[Asterix]

Oh, that would be a great fight. I do hope Marquez goes back down the lightweight.

[Deno1986]

Oh, that would be a great fight. I do hope Marquez goes back down the lightweight.

Me too. There is no point for a great fighter like Marquez to be whoring himself out for the welterweights to get a big name on their record. He should stick to his division. In sayin that I wouldn't mind seeing Marquez-Hatton though because I think Marquez could beat him if it's at a lower weight than 147.

[fatman]

Who will train Hatton?

just Lee Beard I suppose??
