After his fight with Juan Luzcano, he didn't look awfully good..
Has he got anything left in the tank? is he ageing? Is his lifestyle finally catching up with him??
He was closed to being stopped in that fight had the referee not given him that meaningless break..
He'll continue to fight, but IMO I think he's almost a shot fighter. He didn't look good at all last weekend against an inactive Lazcano who wasn't very active in the fight, but when he was he landed successfully.
Whether or not his loss to Mayweather had anything to do with his performance last weekend, I think it's safe to say he'll stay put at 140 and fight whoever is there. He'll get demolished by the top 5 Welters in boxing today.
He is finished. HE doesn't have the same drive anymore, the same intensity. His confidence is shot, he looked very hesitant to do anything last week. Should not fight Malignagg.
i thought you said FIST malinaggi for a moment there.......
sorry my eyes are a still bit shaken up from the ndou fight,,still cant believe what i saw
ricky must be shitting himself.

Lets face it: Floyd Mayweather ruined this kid. He's done as a world class fighter. I'm willing to bet the farm his fight with Malistinky is decided by a point or less on the scorecards.
He'll never beat an elite WW. He's done! Mayweather retired this guy similar to what Tito did to Vargas.

if hatton picks his fights wisely he can fight maybe 5 more fights.
People are blowing hatton' situation way out of proportion. Sure he was hit with a few good shots in rounds 8 and 10 but it wasn't half as bad as people are making it out to be. He came into that fight off the back of a devastating knockout loss, he'll need time to regain his previous level of confidence. Fighters coming back from their first loss hardly ever put in a perfect performance. Examples:
-Malignaggi fought like a ****** against Edner Cherry
-Lacy arguably lost to Vitali Tsypko
-Zab Judah struggled to a win aganst a journeyman
-Shane Mosley lost 3 of his 4 next fights after losing to Vernon Forrest the fist time
I'm sure there are many more. Give Hatton a chance to find his feet again.
I gave Hatton the eighth round. I gave Juan the tenth and the third.
If the eighth round had gone on another thirty seconds Hatton would have stopped him and we wouldn't be having this conversation. Hatton only got caught in the tenth because he went after him.
I didnt see hattons last fight, but my guess is that Hatton is fighting excellent fighters and it will always be hard at this stage of his career. Is Lacano finished now then?
Hatton can still make it hard for PBF. Everyone is close to the end of their careers because any sportsmans career is short anyway.
Yes Hatton is near as well. He is only going to have maybe 3 or 4 more fights anyway so all this talk is irrelevant.
I was impressed with Hatton's performance, he didn't look slow to me, carried good pace and stamina throughout, nearly had Lascano stopped a few times. His combination work was excellent as was his variety from head to body.
He does seem a little more fragile than he was though, thats the only thing I would say, Lascano's punches didn't seem that hard but Hatton was clearly hurt maybe twice whereas he looked unflappable against Tszyu three years ago.
its to be exspected...
he was always going to be edgy after such a humbling loss.
but hes proved what all great champios do,,knocked down 7 get up 8

Ricky has plenty leaft in the basement. He could have beaten lasaco easier but wanted to knock him out (not happy with just a win) he pleases the fans.
Still one of the best imo and has 5-6 more fights in him. He is still a young man.

Be honest he didn't win every round.
oh well give or take 2 then.....
well fuck me hes not perfect,lets retire his ass now,,oh no wait hes the only guy who can sell out a stadium im a few hours,lets not be hasty.
He's on the downswing (and the Ring has dropped him off the p4p list which is an interesting move following a 10-2 one sided fight, just because he got hurt a little in two rounds. But no matter, I think he has another couple of fights left in him, I'd like to see how he does against Malignaggi before making a decision on how done he is. This was his first fight back after a pretty bad loss, so you'd expect a couple of problems. Maybe the Malignaggi fight will restore his confidence and we'll see where he goes from there.
christ you guys like to juimp on guys backs very quickley!!! only 6 months ago he was one of the best fighters in the world,now after a loss TO THE BEST FIGHTER ON THE PLANET,he is just a washed up has been. you seem to forget he won every round in the lazcano fight.and what is up with this break thing in the tenth round? after he got hit with that big shot lazcano dragged him down so the ref dealt with him. hatton bounced back to his corner. and then got his shoe tied! wtf is the big drama?
boxing great...your a bit of a joke tbh!! one loss and all of a sudden he is the worst boxer ever?
get a grip
No what he was talking about was the fact he was in big trouble twice against a former lightweight, was jumping in with punches and was holding a lot..
Face it , he did not look like Ricky Hatton. Infact he hasn't looked like Ricky Hatton since Kostya Tszyu. I rewatched some of his old fights and the diference between them an the Lazcano fight is night and day
