    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.
    i agree 100% with this post i feel exactly the same Karma

        i was thinking the same thing. The funny part is, this guy reckons K1 turned him down because he was too old by 1 year. What the ****. He is living in dream land.

          I seen him sponsoring that bbc mile thing and he doesn't look like hes put too much weight on, hopefully hes learnt his lesson and coming into the autumn of his career is going to treat his body with the respect it deserves, and he could do with mixing his training up abit.

                while i think that ricky's FAR from done as a fighter, his incessant knack for pushing his body to the limits in gaining and losing weight IS diminishing him.

                i hope for his career he takes notice of the damage he is doing himself, he's gotta realize that he's not getting any younger.

                    not just diminishing him as a fighter it is dangerous to fluctuate in weight like he has been doing

                      the bounce back is key to him being shot or not! till that happens i can not gauge him by losing to the best fighter on the planet!
