Im sure peeps were telling Hearns, duran, lewis, and loads of other champs to retire after being KO'D, but its how you come back after a loss that makes great champs. He's only 30, he should go for more world titles.
Hatton was not Hearns, Duran, or Lewis.
He should retire. But it is his decision. I know I will be cheering for him if he does come back.
In all seriousness if he keeps getting KOd like that he will be brain damaged. He should quit and be happy with his achievements which in far exceed his skills set.
He should take some time off then work his way slowly back up in Manchester. Then he should fight on for years, but avoid all fast fighters. Because he's already fought two great fast fighters. He doesn't have to prove anything against fast fighters anymore. But he should keep fighting. He's good for the sport.
That sounds about right to me, i can't see really why people are calling for his head, there are people out there that have fought as many times as Ricky and lost more than two.
He should do what Mayweather did just stick to the gym and see what he feels like in around a years time, but should keep up at least a decent fitness we know he likes to let himself go, but thats what i think!
What do you guy's think Hatton should do ?

Hatton is a shell of what he was im afraid.
Still good enough to re-clean up 140 with a decent trainer.
Go back to Billy Graham for his last fight if he stays on for old times sake!?
I think one more fight to get the loss out of his head, he is a great fighter but just can't take the punches any more, a bit a glass chin really now!
One more fight and that should do it! :boxing:
He should have 1 last fight in the UK and then retire. It would be a shame for the UK fans to remember him as the guy that got KTFO in round 2 vs. Pacquiao.
I'd rather remember him as that than the guy who lost to a supposed patsy in Manchester. What's the point of a 'farewell' fight? Either fight on to actually try and achieve something, or throw in the towel and run his gym and promotions while enjoying his money and tasty Mrs. Retire, Ricky, unless you genuinely think you enter your next fight better than you've ever been before.
I mean, Hatton has a good legacy already but whether he has one last farewell fight or continues to pursue other top contenders, he has to have another decent win to at least mitigate the effects of this Pac fight.
12 think he should take 1 last fight
9 think he should retire
5 fight for a belt at 140
0 think he should go to WW
You should really make a poll.
Edit: I didn't notice there was a poll.

I wonder if the weight had anything to do with his chin , because some people said he looked gaunt . Billy Graham said he looked as if he was carrying more fat and less muscles than usuall at the weigh in
