it does take an enormous amount of dedication. i am a huge boxing fan and have bee sincewatching lloyd honeyghan as a 10 year old i particually enjoy fighting to and love nothing more than a good spar even if i end up with a bit of a pasting however it is the training why i am not fighting and can admit totally i just can't hack doing it!!! as tyson once said fighting is the easy part!! good for you with the training i hope you keep it up. have to admit when i see a guy who has been training his butt off get kncked out in one round i always think about the amount of training both physcally and mentally he has been through the dieting, the sacrfices to get knocked out in front of friends family e.t.c. and then go through it all again fo the next fight!!! ths is why boxing is what it is and why boxers get the respect the deserve.

p.s. torres is a big possibilty your right but risk vs reward this fight will never happen. torres can punch!!!!

yeah your right i am a romantic on the belts!! i just feel it would stamp his authority over the division plus with his powers on the wane i feel there three fights he could win!

yeah the moneys not there but what other options does he have? in an ideal world there are three fights i'd like to see him finish up on and all would be wicked fights and generate millions on millions

1st juan diaz ok he lost to campbell but him vs hatton would be a out and out war

2. manny paquiao providing they both win there next fights there is too much money on the table for the fight not to happen i'd like to see this one happen in the phillpines too and i reckon hatton does too

3. michael katadis ok not a big money fight as the other two but would be a big enough fight in aus and uk for this to happen. ok he lost to casamayor but his reputation actually went up

ok i know all 3 are lightweights but there his best options. one thing i can see happening and this will really annoy me is a battered and bruised and past it hatton getting smashed up by amir khan (warren has a great way of pickign the right fights at the right time for his fighters) and ruining his legacy saying that khan is an accident waiting to happen he is a chinless wonder and sooner or later he'll dump warren and fighting people with half a decent dig something warren has avoided and khan will be sparked.

i was at the kessler fight and i made it a lot closer than the judges i felt joe has started toage and this was aparent aganist hopkins. personally he is undefeated two weight undisputed champion he should go out at the top. anything he does now is for money and the risk aganist his legacy is to much. go out on the top joey c!!! roy jones and lennox at almost at the same time had massive career decisions. lennox scrapped through aganist vitali and realised his powers were dwindling and retired as a great champion and an all time great roy jones scrapped through in the first fight with tarver but decided on a rematch instead of seeing the writing on the wall and it cost him his legacy. i would hate to see joe make the same mistake

sorry about the delay bluderbuss.

well glad hatton never went down the road of i told u so when witter lost had some respect there for him. i missed the lazano fight but desturbed at the reports on paulie i think the best fight out there at the moment is bradley for hatton at the moment everything is positive about him the same cant be said for paulie and i think hatton will knock the crap out of bradley. with all the champions mandatorys out the way it should be a 4 way tornamount hatton v bradley and paulie vs koletik although i see it as a hatton koletik final and there wont be much money in that. i just would like to see hatton unify in the closing fights of his career as i think that will rubber stamp it!!!

I was watching the new post office advert and noticed keith harris ( sidekick of orville the duck) was the complete spit of steve bunce. Are they the same person? has anyone seen them in the same room at the same time? i'm curious if theres a clark kent/superman split persona going on.

sorry i had you down as man city/hatton "boxing fan" i apologise

fighting paulie and lazano won't help his legacy either (although he is allowed a lzano fight to get back into the swing of things) but he is not fighting de la hoya or mayweather for another couple of fights and should take care of buisness, a witter fight in britain would be massive and i think he should want it as a career goal fighting in wembley in front of 100,000. though i totally understand him wanting to fight at MSG

mailgnaggi won't  fill the garden hatton will, but again so what about american tv he should be thinking about british pride and fight witter.

in fairness hatton went up the level and lost and has dropped back to witters level otherwise he'd be fighting cotto, de la hoya , moseley juan diaz e.t.c. not paulie and lazano

have to agree with u this fight should have happened years ago and it is probably too late now and will not happen unless hatton loses and even then i can't see it happenening and your right the fight will almost defintely be a damp squib.

no i honestly   don't think its a career ruiner not fighting witter i just think it will be a cloud that hangs over him. besides i have a feeling witters going to lose saturday night anyway.

personally i think hattons career has hit a bit of a brick wall as in there are no major players at his weight, theres some decent lightweights but are not moving up (probably because of hatton) and welterweight is definately been proved not a good idea for him so i think the question really is where does ricky go from here in his quest for greatness?

i think blunderbuss has realised hatton is indeed chickening out aganist witter judging by his silence!!!

im curious to who would have won between joe c and steve collins would like to hear opions

the fight on the joe c undercard was bad i mean bad , however first fight back in year after a long layoff and ko its allowed but if he is half serious he needs to fight 4-5 times before the year is out.
