Ricky Hatton VS. Katsidis!?!

did anyone just see bunces boxing hour...

was katsidis on the wind up?

or is this fight actually been discussed?

for anyone that missed it katsidis claimed he wanted to fight him and that ricky wanted to aswell and if he gets past burns its very possible!

would this be possible or even tweek your interest?

I wouldnt mind it. Be an exciting fight as long as the Hitman sorts his physical shape out

Whats in it for Hatton I would have to wonder?

Money for beer and kebabs?

Possibly, but financially he is secure and could make money easily from appearances elsewhere. It would take an enormous amount of effort for him to get into shape so it would surprise me if this fight went ahead.

APPARENTLY ricky has the "fire"

To cook his kebabs on?

Is this true? Just google news'd him and all I got was that he was recently at the opening of a new fish & chips bar.......

Internet rumour. We will hear Matthew Hatton vs Mayweather at Wembley next.

I'll eat my hat if this is true.

"Australian Michael Katsidis could still fight Ricky Hatton in Manchester later this year, according to Katsidis's manager-trainer Brendon Smith."

2009. Hatton announced his retirement.

Gotcha.

it isnt an internet rumour considering katsidis talked about it to steve bunce extensively on live TV.

whether it will happen is something else.

Seems incredibly far-fetched, for me. No way I see Hatton ever getting anywhere near sub-150 lb again, for starters. If he couldn't get motivated for a possible return against Marquez, I fail to see how Katsidis could be the name to lure him back.

Katsidis knows he's got a following here in Britain after the epic with Earl and the demolition of Mitchell. I suspect this is simply a case of him trying to put his name even more at the forefront of British fight fan's minds given he's got a third notable bout coming up on these shores. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Hatton himself knew absolutely nothing about these supposed 'talks.'

Katsidis vs Khan anyone?

Khan dominates and stops him late on. At the very least, he wins a decision wide enough to drive a bus through. I like Katsidis as much as the next man, but he's always going to be overmatched against the very best, particularly if he's moving up in weight.

he called him out apparently
