That's the saddest I've ever been watching Boxing

I feel heartbroken for the guy. I know for a fact that 3 weeks ago Hatton was going to pull out of this fight due to his performances during sparring. First couple of rounds he done okay, he got through to Senchencko and made him look uncomfortable. From round 3 onwards he got his head boxed off, it was painful to watch. He couldn't see Senchecnko's jab coming and it wasn't even that quick. In a way I think him getting KO'd like that was a blessing in disguise, had it gone to the cards he would have won and then carried on where he would have been seriously hurt. I worry for him and how this will affect him mentally.

I may be the only one on boxing scene but I am a Senchenko fan and I am happy for him. He comes from a poor country and he worked hard to achieve his goals in boxing. He had the courage to face Hatton in his back yard. Now he gets a chance to make some good money in bigger fights. Hatton has had a great career and he gave his comeback his best effort. I believe he is very wealthy and he has the love of his countrymen. Most men would love to be the legendary Ricky Hatton. He should just enjoy his good life.

Khan is not Indian, He's Pakistani. Pakistani's derive from Indians, ignoramus.

Boxing is a cruel sport. That, in a way, is what also makes it great. The high stakes and unforgiving nature. Very true :boxing:

That's not how depression works. Sorry, I forgot to add that I have never, and don't ever want to experience depression BUT someone needs to really to do something about his situation. He has officially retired now, I hope he finds peace. He really has a lot going for him and I hope somehow he understands that, people rely on him (his family). He seems like a really upbeat, positive, jolly guy but I guess people never really know whats going on behind close doors and in a persons head really.

That's not how depression works. This. A psychologist will easily tell you that people are predisposed to be happy or sad. It doesn't matter if you're in a shelter or a millionaire, your level of day-to-day happiness changes only ever so slightly despite massive changes in your situation/surroundings.

Sugar Ray Leonard had 12 round fights behind closed doors before he came back and fought Hagler. It could've benefitted Ricky to do the same. That's what I would've done if I were coaching him.

This maybe a bit cynical but do people think that he quit when he was put down? He knew during the fight he couldn't do what he used to, when he was missing with shots he was letting out sighs of anger, I think he'd just had enough.. I think a prime hatton gets up, but a bit heavy to call it a quit. The body shot was a peach and would have carried the weight of a lifetime of bingeing in between fights and so would have hurt that much more.

reports from Skysports and a few twitter accounts are that Hatton has retired again in the post fight presser... I wish him well in whatever he chooses to do!

Khan is not Indian, He's Pakistani. Pakistan used to be India before they declared independence. There's a history lesson for you ;)

The way he still needed to tell himself he wasn't a failure even with 20,000 people still cheering his name worried me. It was like we were watching him battle with his own mind. Yeah he was trying to convince himself. The fans don't matter right now, he's gonna have to battle his own demons by himself.

Also nice to know you think Arabs and Indians share the same blood line. Khan is not Indian, He's Pakistani.

Saint George was a arab man, so i thought you'd be supporting him? I think his username is a reference to George Groves the last time I checked he was a Londoner.

It's not sad at all, had he not killed his body all those years when he was fighting, sniffing cocaine & learning to move his head, he wouldn't be in this position.
