Ricky Hatton vs Viacheslav Senchenko (Tonight)
Ricky Hatton makes his comeback against a standard opponent. Yes a former World champion in Senchenko but a World Champion who had faced noone with any credibility and then lost in his first major fight against a fighter previously put down by Hatton, Paulie Malignaggi.
Winner: Ricky Hatton (Stunning TKO return in the early rounds)

Completely off, Handpicked opponent for Hatton and he lost to what I would describe as a poor fighter for the reasons above.
If Hatton was put down by this guy we can at least be thankful he wasn't in the ring with someone that actually had some kind of background because based on that I wouldn't see Hatton lasting a right hand.
Chad's summed it up above, Hatton was only in that ring for a nice pay deal.
Regardless it was a stupid move, many ask how others comeback and get wins after years out, simple answer is they retired from professional boxing but continued to train and prepare as if they were still active, see David Haye, regardless of his retirement he continued training and preparing himself in case he did change his mind, which of course he did, flattening Chisora earlier this year. Haye is still actively training and is always prepared to accept a fight although he's actively preparing for Vitali. Back to how this has anything to with Hatton, simple really, Hatton pretty much gave it up, sure he went to the Gym now and again and probably sparred a bit too but it was never anything major and when it did come to talk time he had little time to prepare his body. Also take into account his drug abuse.
Another upcoming
David Price vs Matt Skelton (30/11/12)
The man that said he's 'ready' for a Klitschko next year take's on a 45 year old man, what better way to prepare yourself for a world champion.
Price need's to be less cocky as Matt Skelton is a former kickboxer with a very good record and this guy packs a serious punch and could cause a major upset.
Winner: Price (On points)
Fury and Price, pair of them are complete idiots, both talk a lot of crap and talk about world titles and the Klitschko's next year but neither of them have fought anyone remotely close to the level of these brothers. It will be an absolute disaster for either of these to go and ruin their career's chasing the Klitschko's without first having a testing fight. Same could have been said about Haye but he'd been in numerous world title fights and big fights at cruiser, he out done the hilarious Valuev and was pretty confident.
Truth be told, the pair of them want nothing to do with either Klitschko brother nor David Haye. All three are too big a risk at this stage in their career's. They need to go after some opponents Klitschko's have fought.. ones that don't end in one dimensional Chisora.
