Mmmmmm I think hatton coming back ain't a great idea ... He was a bing drinker eater at the best of times he would surely struggle to get into shape ...
I read in a couple of articles the manner of how he behaved when not fighting and the difficult task of getting fit losing weight was effecting his long term health .

Am a fan of freddie roach but .... The best thing khan can do is leave him , I don't think he has improved his skills at all . I think he needs a dedicated full time trainer

[Dave's Bitch]

I am not surprised.Plus at 33 his best day's are behind him.I thought he got his training licence recently and was going for that.The last time i saw Hatton on anything was the cube celebrity special,He was fucking huge.

[vandeleur]

Yeah he had properly porked out

I would agree.Again i say with the greatest respect to roach's illness he is spreading himself too thin and can't give his guy's all he used too.Honestly i think I have had a better game plan on the fly for Khan than roach has,The same with Manny

[binnie]

Hope Hatton stays retired. He fucked his body by bloating up too much between fights and several years out at the top level is too much.

He's also surely have to fight at 147 or higher, which he was never great at.

Any interest in the Robert Guerrero fight?

I am expecting a dominant showing from Guerrero.Although Aydin has some impressive KO's they are against nobodies and I am unconvinced by him.What I am interested in is what will happen after the fight.I think Guerrero will be a bigger part of boxing in the future

[binnie]

I certainly hope he'll be bigger, DB.

Guerro is very, very talented. I expect him to win on points fairly easily - what I am curious about, however, is how he'll handle the new weight class. He's made quite a jump in recent years...

[Dave's Bitch]

I agree he is a very talented boxer.I think a few tune up fights and he will do well.Although i think calling out Manny Pacquiao and Floyd is absurd at this point

Yeah, he's good - but I don't think he's ready to go there just yet...

[binnie]

People go there for the payday.

If he can handle the weight, Guerro is a smart enough boxer to give Manny problems...

[Dave's Bitch]

It also helps get his name out there again.I am sure Bob Arum would be happy to hear it,Anything to stop him having to talk to Floyd

I am so glad to see the Ghost back in the ring and i ain't talking about Kelly Pavlick. I feel bad for Robert considering all of the health problems his wife has had, and then he has a chance at a huge fight with Katsidis and tears his rotator cuff which sidelines him for a year. I hope he comes out firing on all cylinders and they can line him up with a mid major fight. He has just got to get back in there and start building up his name again. Even if he could be competitive with the P4P list, he is not going to get a sniff at those guys until he can sell pay per views himself.

I'm watching the undercard for the Guerrero fight. George Groves was very impressive with a TKO of Sierra. He knocked him down with a great flurry and then when Sierra made the count, Groves finished him off with another flurry with the referee waving it off. Check this out if you get a chance as is worth watching for sure.

[binnie]

Groves is good, he's been a big name on the UK scene for a while and beat the Bejing Gold Medalist James Degalle for the Brtish Supermiddleweight title.

One to watch.
