Comments on: Hatton vs. Marquez: Is Ricky too fat to still fight? http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/11/hatton-vs-marquez-is-ricky-too-fat-to-still-fight/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:59:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Lechon King http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/11/hatton-vs-marquez-is-ricky-too-fat-to-still-fight/#comment-80429 Lechon King Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:37:58 +0000 http://www.boxingnews24.com/?p=16553#comment-80429 Are you kidding me? Hatton fight Amir Khan, and it will be easier? What drug are you taking? Amir will blast Hatton to bits. He has so much improved from almost 2 years ago when he lost to Prescott. Amir is faster and hits harder now than he ever did. Amir is now in a different level. And if Amir fought Marquez, Amir will demolish Marquez quickly and it won't be close. In fact, Marquez won't be able to handle Amir's newfound speed and power. Are you kidding me? Hatton fight Amir Khan, and it will be easier? What drug are you taking? Amir will blast Hatton to bits.

Lots and lots of it. Everyone knows that, and it just makes him that much cooler! Oh, and in answer to the question so many people asked (“What does he eat to make him so damn fat!?!?!”): Guinness.

Thomas Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:46:28 +0000 http://www.boxingnews24.com/?p=16553#comment-73751 Hatton regularly goes up to 180 between fights. I've read that he thinks carrying so much extra weight between fights gives him an advantage (maybe strength-wise). I agree that he's bigger than he usually gets, but he'll likely just give himself more time to make the weight. Hatton is known for putting himself through some brutal training camps, so I have no problem believing that he could still make 140 for a fight with Marquez. Ricky and other boxers at that weight usually fight at an actual weight of around 155. They cut down to that weight and dry out their bodies to take off the extra 15 pounds (to make 140). So he'd be losing around 40-50 pounds. If he gives himself 3-4 months to prepare for the fight, there's no reason he couldn't make weight. Hatton regularly goes up to 180 between fights.

Infact hes still not made his mind up. From what hes been saying i think a comeback is likely but any proposed opponants are just speculation and nothing more.

I don't know why most of them don't just take up Sumo its definitely more entertaining.

It's true that he will be spending too much time just trying to lose weight instead of actually practicing and developing his technique.

Sklils alone will not be enough, ricky tries to please everybody, be one of the boys, he got away with it in his twenties, but it has now caught up with him, and as his opponents have improved he cant quite bridge that gap. I'm not sure if he still has enough to beat marquez, but hey ricky you gave us some great nights.
