Ricky Hatton is done as a fighter IMO

[moin126]

I try to read your posts but....that sig has me hypnotized...who is she!?

yes i got the same prob, i have never actually read his posts.

[Karlos81]

yes he acts like a drunk british idiot, to be treated like one, thats just what mayweather did, And i laughed my ****ing ass off,

Now he's acting all bitter about the ref, what a bad loser.

Id much rather have Hattons character than Floyds who is deluded, ignorent, rude and selfish.

Not like Floyd moaned about his mysterious arm injury after he lost to Castillo eh.

It always seemed to me that Graham was lucky to have Hatton at his gym and has ridden his coat tails all the way to the top.

Grahams knowledge of how to change a gameplan in a fight is next to zero.

WHY would having 1 loss against the best fighter in the world affect your performance in future???

Its been his performace post Tszyu were talking about American has yet to see the real Ricky Hatton imo.

Hes a yes man no doubt i know they are friends but Ricky is his meal ticket, Mathew is average and his other good prospect Macklin left him to join Mayweather Sr, a tad ironic.

Too many yes men in his ever growing entorage, someone should have said Ricky son your fighting like **** by now surely.

well if u subscribe to the notion that Ricky has'nt looked great in previous fights up untill the Mayeather fight then there is an argument to suggest that he was on the slide in any case prior to the PBF defeat

Im not saying Ricky is definetly shot but it is a strong possibility IMO ,Some fighter never recover from bad knockout defeats ,they are never the same fighter again ,Don Curry

Pre Tszyu, I was a massive Hatton fan. His fights againt Phillips, Olivera and Tackie were action packed fights with Hatton showing his had plenty of boxing skill. But I was not happy with the way he won the Tszyu fight. When he started fighting in America I initially supported him but his hugging tactics completly put me off him. The Urango fight was the last straw for me, that fight was abysmal, and against Floyd he was completly out of his depth.

To answer the question on whether Hatton is done, I would suggest that he will struggle to make an impact from this point on. His stamina has been getting worse and worse, and his chin is letting him down increasingly often. I wish he could find his pre Tszyu style but can't see it myself, but he needs to really sort his fitness out if he wants any chance IMO.

Hatton doesn`t really want success himself. he must realise the damage he is doing to his body by overeating and drinking, yet he continues to do it.

It must be the case that he values his lifestyle over his boxing. So in a way he got what he deserved.

if anything, I think he is going to come back stronger than ever, depending on how hungry he is...
Maybe it's because he has been fighting domestic fighters all his life, and then when he came to the USA, all of a sudden he was confronted with a new breed of fighers.
Not domestic club fighters,
Has anybody thought about that?
Maybe it's the step up in quality of opposition that has made him look less than ordinary.
I think he can Malignaggi , Witter and N'dou.
I think he still has a bright future at 140.

Well karlos try being a saint, just for the sake of your self image, thats what i call fooling yourself, we could all see how much hate hatton had for mayweather, it was all in closed doors, did you see the last presser how he gave a sign across his neck. ****ing hypocrite.

Did he lose vs castillio? do your homework idiot, it wasnt even a sd, it was a ****ing ud, just because some commentators disputed it, doesnt mean its the truth, suck on leddermans ****.

He was acting so confident with his guiness ass at the end of 24/7 yet he could never back any thing up at fight night, backing up your arrogance, and everything you say, thats confidence.
When your powerful, you become arrogant, even ****ing achilles was arrogant, its a trait skilled poeple share. If hatton was confident, maybe he couldve adjust in the fight and not be fazed by the ref, but **** happens.
