Floyd Mayweather Senior Says Hatton Should Retire - Do You Agree?
"I would suggest he retire. At the end of the day it's his decision," said Mayweather Snr. "He tried twice. He failed twice. He lost to my son and to lose to someone below that, it's time to leave the ring.
"He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there."
"A lot of times in boxing when a fighter gets knocked out - I'm not saying this particularly about Ricky - they are just not the same anymore," Mayweather Snr said.
After the fight, Mayweather blasted Hatton for failing to listen to his instructions during the fight.
"He should have kept his head down. That was the match," Mayweather said.
"Defense. It's what I was preaching and preaching and preaching about. The defense I was telling him to do. Throw punches and keep your head back.
"Pacman just put him down. My instructions were to use the fade. Sometimes the fade can lure you into something. He didn't use the fade. Straight forward. He just went back to his old days.
"Now he has got to accept what happened."
