Devlin 222 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I used to follow Kahn and was thinking he was the real deal until i stayed up til like 4 am to watch him get done by the first punch (Bredis Prescott?) After that i've started to dislike him more and more every fight, the last one me and my gf stayed up to like 4am to see him get embarassed and that's me done even attempting to cheer him on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was magical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouseblue 145 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I fucking love Hatton, it'd rekindle my love of Boxing for sure. Sorry to lower the threads standards but i'm sure i saw a snippet on SSN last week about Andrew Flintoff turning into a pro boxer? Is this true? If so anyone think he'll actually do any good? I think Freddie used to box a bit as a kid , he's apparently been trainng for about a year , sparring since may , not drunk since July until the fight , lost 20 kgs down to a 100 kilos and he used boxing as the basis of his cardio throughout his career however stepping in the ring for a pro fight is a different equation. You'd imagine him to have a big dig but to be a bit chinny, it'll be interesting and I think he's taking it seriously but you'd think it'd be 'entertainment' rather than 'boxing'.On khan there is a lot of hate out there but despite his recent record given hattons absence , lifestyle and age I'd be backing khan I'd think but that's without watching how sharp or not Ricky looks on comeback Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't imagine Fred will ever get to the level of titles but we'll probably get a few fights of entertainment until somebody knocks him spark out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't imagine Fred will ever get to the level of titles but we'll probably get a few fights of entertainment until somebody knocks him spark outHe's also a great personality which would add to the sport in general, imo. Proper boxing fans may disagree though and think that it's a bit of a gimmick but i've always found boxing to be about the fighter more than the fight. Muhammed Ali, he was shit hot but he was also a charachter in the ring, Tyson, well everyone knows the story there. Especially with the way society and technology has changed the boxers now have to be good with the media, which Freddy certainly is. David Haye, he has his bitchyness and taunting, it's all part of the build up. I'm not trying to discredit the sport but a lot of people would agree that the entertainment of a fight starts way way way before they enter the ring...Looking at it that way i think only good could come from Freddy taking up the Boxing.

Gillete 1,338 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I bet ricky hatton sees the likes of Bradley/Garcia and malinaggi being champions and saying I'm having some of that Can't see him going to light welter but welterweight he would be still a strong champion I feelIt's a guessing game He could be fucked after a few rounds and get pasted or he could be the Ricky of oldDuran used to shag hookers and smoke and drink too and he boxed later yrs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdog19 16 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Honestly think any of the top 147 140lbers beat Hatton. Including Khan and Brook. Also, Pacquiao is to fight Marquez for a fourth time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelf 1,153 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I vowed not to return until GCL was banned. 3 days ago. I must say part of me wants him to stay retired but I'm jumping for joy. However having never had chance to go to a "only one Ricky Hatton " event. I will be there so any help in getting tickets would be appreciated I think he's still got something to offer but we won't know until we see him in 1st fight. He should fight someone like Ndou to see his level then go to a last big fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
