    Hatton need an L to improve

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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

              **** 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.

                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.

                    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.
