Manny Pacquiao defeat still haunts Ricky Hatton, who feels 'he let everyone down' It's nice to hear but it doesn't matter how many people say 'Rick, you're a legend'. It doesn't mean anything to me because I have the fella that sits on my shoulder every day saying, 'You f***ed up, you let everyone down'. People say, 'We remember the good times'. Well I remember the bad times. Since he announced his return to the ring in September Hatton has been in strict training for several months. He will fight the 35-year-old Senchenko in a 10-round welterweight bout and if he wins he will be in line for a potential world title fight with Paulie Malignaggi, the World Boxing Association welterweight champion, in the first quarter of next year. In spite of Hatton's 3½-year absence from the ring, his popularity is undiminished. The 16,500 tickets sold out in 48 hours before opponent Senchenko had even been announced. Senchenko has lost just one of his 33 professional fights and is a former world champion. After a decorated amateur career at world level, Senchenko won the WBA welterweight title in 2009, defending it three times before being stopped by former Hatton victim Malignaggi in April this year. It was one of Malignaggi's finest performances, and Hatton is targeting the American for the belt early next year, provided he comes through this test. I'm sure that Vyacheslav Senchenko will give me a good fight. It's one that I am confident I can win though," he said. I believe this was as good an opponent as I could have had. I'm in great shape, I'm feeling good and I know I can put on a performance. After the fight, win lose or draw, I can look in the mirror then and go, 'You know what, you wanted to win another world title, yes. But what you've done you should be proud of.' So I think I've already won. As for the depression he adds: "I haven't spoken to my counsellor for a while, but I've come a long way from waking up on the sofa, having been drinking or not, with a kitchen knife in my hand having thought about cutting my wrists."
