    Is Hatton shot and what could he do if he doesn't retire

    What do you think ? Has he got anything left for boxing ? Who could he fight next if he didn't retire ? Any moves ? I would like to see him moving up to welterweight and giving it a shot with the top welterweights . I know he's fell a bit short on the p4p rankings but is Pac just improving and on a level of his own ? What chance would you give Hatton against the best welterweights ? He's already beat Urango , what about the rest ?

    I think that he should stay at 140, if he carries on fighting. His two fights at 147 showed his limitations there, TKO'd by Mayweather, controversial UD over Collazo who almost had him out...

    He would be a good fight for some of the younger 140 lb champions, like Bradley, to gauge where they are. The former lineal champ, past his best. A good name to have on your resume at a young age. Although, I still wouldn't count Hatton out as to winning some fights, the Pac loss will haunt him.... that's for sure, you don't forget a loss like that.

      He struggles at WW, I don't think he could beat any of the champs at WW.

      He could probably have a few more fights against easier opponents but he will never win a BIG fight.

        I think a couple of Domestic Tilts.. Witter and Khan .. and then off to the sunset for Him.. I am thinking not too many people are going to pay to watch him get KO'd in America anymore.. But those 2 fights would still be big in the UK..

              Well, if he wasn't shot before, I reckon there's a good chance he is now!

              He should have one last fight in England and retire... He's too proud to be relegated into a gatekeeper or prospect tester, not to mention too rich.

                Agreed, the only fight left for Hatton is to fight Amir Khan

                    Either retire or have one final fight in Britain Hatton. Boxers rarely recover well from devastating knockouts like that. I'd like to see him fight one final time in Britain, against either a fellow Brit (Witter or Khan) or against an easy opponent. Hatton has already achieved more than people thought he ever could, so I don't see anything left to prove - he should end it on a victory at home as a thank you to his fans.

                    Former two time IBF light welterweight champion, former WBA light welterweight champion, former WBA welterweight champion and most importantly, former RING magazine light welterweight champion of the World. Only beaten by two pound-for-pound number one fighters in their prime. 45-2. He deserves respect.
