Is Ricky Hatton making a mistake with his comeback? Many, though, believe the popular Mancunian's return could be a big mistake. Hatton's previous bout resulted in a savage second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in May 2009 and he has since overcome drug and alcohol problems. Frank Warren, Hatton's former promoter, said: "I'd prefer Ricky not to box. He's not going to get any better at the age of 33, but it's his decision. He's returned to the gym and that has given him focus and direction, but I'd rather he stay there training and not fight. I hope he's still got it, but it won't be there ... it just doesn't happen like that. I believe he's had a good career and he should reflect on that. No one should be encouraging him to return and I just hope it doesn't wind up being a big disappointment for him. Nathan Cleverly, the WBO light-heavyweight champion, though has backed Hatton's decision and reckons he could once again be crowned world champion. It's a good shout for him to come back. He's only 33 and has had a good break from the sport," Cleverly said. Winning a world title after having so long out of the sport is a long shot, especially after living that lifestyle, but it's possible.
