I think the zero record is really put so much pressure on him.
I think if he get an L, then he would come back to his old self of fact punching action.
seems to be a lot of hostility towards Hatton from are Colonial cozens is it becasue they are really shitting themselves that big mouth mayweather is about to be shut up for good.
He was great in his last fight; he's fine.
But an L would serve him ok. All the great fighters have losses, because they've had tough fights. Cotto, Hatton, and Williams are next.
I think staying undeafted overrated the fight and generate alot of hype.

to be fair I think the Brit fighters are more protected that US audiences expect - I mean Calzaghe, Hatton, hamed - all had 0s but none have resumes to match Toney, Hopkins, Mosley, De la hoya. Warren loves keeping the 0, hence his love for the WBU WBO lower risk route to a world title, avoiding the top Brits, commonwelath and Euros wherever possible.
hameds resume at the time was top notch

truth...being undefeated appears to mean more to british audiences than american.
i think most real boxing fans would rather see their fighters involved in the big competitive challenging fights rather than see them undefeated against fringe world level opponents. de la hoya , hopkins , morales etc still pull in a lot of support even though they aren't undefeated.
i definatly agree with that i was going to post somthin similar earlyer but my boss was moaning at me to start workin lol
damn your boss.
I seen Hatton pre-Tszyu fight and when seeing it i was expecting the same as the HL.
when seeing Hatton doing left hook reminded me of beautiful day by U2 because of one of the HL :D
If Hatton loses to Mayweather at 147, then loses another fight at 147, he's done. Why remain at 140?
well it a plan B to regain his publicity.
Witter will be willing to fight Hatton no matter what he was calling him for long time
that is one of the problem with boxing today the fighters are afriad to lose the zero so they would take a fight because it could be risky for them. The other problem is boxing fans then comes after the lose and saying he was exposed and it need time til he get some big fights or title shot.
it not only Hatton but many other fighters could be Mayweather or even Cotto.
boxing politcals sucks and it fans are cruel and unforgivening.

if hatton loses now he loses the platform he needs to perform and that is the american audience , we all no this 1 loss and your exposed formula that the americans use
no it will make him fight harder. That is for you british fans to keep support him even after his loss if not he will weather away bit by bit.
The is part of the fan that people should understand it not when you fighters is up but it when he goes down and you still support him.
He will go back to britian and fight Witter and then he will regain his form.
and losing to Mayweather doesnt stop him making big fight because Mayweather is very good boxers so no harm in that

Hatton Vs. Mayweather at 147
Mayweather UD, there's your first lost for Hatton in November if it happens. I don't see why Hatton would want to continue from there. He has nothing to prove at 140, yet he's not good enough for 147.
Fuck that - Hamed didn't make a comeback because he'd lost any desire to compete. He had plenty of money, young children and a disruptive family, and so training was not a priority for him anymore.
Hatton would most likely retire after a loss aswell. I think he's almost made the money he wanted, and a loss at this stage would most probably mean his punch resistance was going (it's unlikely he'd get beaten on the cards IMO).
Hatton without a chin is a mediocre fighter.
Hamed didnt have a chance to comeback not because of him but because of promotional reason and security. what would you think would happen during ss 9/11 and even after couple of year from that it was chaos even in Britian.
As for Tyson he lost because he lost himself before lossing to Douglas. everybody knew that too he was going down hill.
Ricky Hatton has different mentaility then Tyson and Hamed. I think he will comeback stronger after a loss because the pressure of the zero goes away and he is willing to fight anyone anywhere and anytime.
I think your right it would'nt be the end of Hatton if he lost, Don't know why you mention 9/11 Khan was still boxing after 7/7 and he was hero worshiped
Hamed lost his bottle and could'nt handle defeat same as Turpin Hamed not in same class as turpin mind you, although i don't think the Zero matters that much to Hatton if lost it or did'nt he would still be the same fighter, the Welsh slapper would struggle to come back i think 7 years at the top would be hard to come back from i think he will quit soon after a few more fights or after his first defeat
An L on your record may indeed help Hatton but this isn’t always the case look at Hamed once he was beaten or should I say destroyed by Barrera his whole cloak of invincibility was shattered and he new people would be queuing up to beat him same thing happened to Mike Tyson, that’s why Hamed chickened out of the sport because he new he was finally exposed as a crap fighter and the loss destroyed him completely.
