Ricky Hatton "Not Prime Anymore," "Shot," "Past his Peak"?

[Fights]

What a difference a few years could make.

In 2005, after defeating Kostya Tszyu, Hatton was in his best form, he's at the peak of his prime years.

But as what happens with reaching the peak, there's nowhere to go but down. Two years after his peak, the fight with Maussa, Collazo, Urango, and Castillo, although still good, displayed Hatton's descend from the mountain.

The slope downwards would have been slower if Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn't pull the rug under and made Hatton slide faster.

It was three years passed since Hatton’s peak, when Hatton's team decided to match him with a sure winner, or at least that's what they thought.

Lazcano, a 33 years old, former lightweight who hadn’t fought in 15 months, was supposed there to make Hatton look good. Instead, Laczano, although obviously lost, paved the now obvious slippery road to Hatton's father time.

After his fight with Manny Pacquiao, I'm sure that with careful matchmaking, he'll go on to win his few fights left.

Hatton has now opened his own promotion and decided to finally marry his girlfriend. I wish him all the best in his future non-boxing days.

I wouldnt say he's shot...He's just not what he once was. IM not a fan, so Im not making a "pre" excuse for Hatton if he loses to Pac.

[S.G.]

He's definitely lost something since the Mayweather fight

his chin was cracked and now his punch resistance seems to be all but gone

the fight with tszyu was both his best performance and the beginning of his demise.

after tszyu was landing big right hands on hatton at will, he found out that he couldnt box and that he had to rely on rough house tactics to win. hatton got so full of himself that he stopped growing as a fighter and he became stagnant. Only the devastating lost to floyd jr was able to snap him from the realization that he had stunted his own growth.

he hopes that floyd sr. will be able to raise his skill level but we will see what will happen.
