Hatton: "I Want De La Hoya or Pacquiao, Then Retire"

[MWMerlino]

So he's begging for a huge payday loss before he retires...even he knows he's shot.

[Scott9945]

Didn't he already turn a fight with De La Hoya down?...

Yes, he declined the 9/20 date that Mayweather left open.

[WESS]

leaving so soon???????

wtf, Whats with these fighters coming to AMERICA and having REAL CHALLENGES, almost loose (JOE CALZAGHE) or just straight up get there asses handed to them (RICKY HATTON) and then RETIRE? CRAZY how that works..... there ALL UNDEFEATED super crazy god like BOXING LEGENDS in there own back yard.... then they step foot in AMERICA with real challenges and say, I think i'm only going to fight one or two more fights??? crazy how that works... MUCH love to HATTON, but he hasn't done anything yet to retire. As far as JOE, like I have stated before he needs at least 10 good fights (now) to be anything and get ANY KIND OF RESPECT.

Calzaghe is 36 and Hatton is clearly past it due to his life style. it has nothing ot do with America. Oh and for your information Hatton has fought it the US a lot of times before..

Hatton....no you dont want DLH. And we dont want you to have DLH. We want you to have Pacman. He is the in thing at the moment. DLH is yesterdays fish and chip paper.
No disrespect DLH, but you and Hatton already lost to PBF. So Pacman who has taken over PBF is the natural choice.

Calzaghe is 36 and has had over 40 fights. He's made millions and can retire anytime he wants. Saying you expect 10 more fights from him is absurd. Hatton is also wealthy and is taking too much punishment lately. These guys are humans who want to watch their children grow up without being punchy. Give them a break.

I think he is just an ALT trying to create some hostility with British posters
