Hattons far from done.

[JoHnNyBoXeR]

i'm fed up of all you saying hatton should retire. He lost to two of the best P4P fighters in the world - what's the crime in that? If your losing to bums then it's time to retire.

I actually thought he was doing pretty well at the start, chasing manny around the ring and manhandling him.. just needed to be a little more careful and he wouldn't have walked into those shots. Came out Ok for the second but then it all went **** up.

Would have been interesting if he survived that last 10 seconds.. could have seen the fight settling down a little. Both were a little wild swining in all directions (who knows if ricky had caught manny with that swining hook right at the end of round 1 - looked nasty!)

Hatton's not done... he wont be the best boxer around but theres nothing stopping him carrying on, he'd still have everyone apart from pacquaio/mayweather

hitman Hatton wasnt in the fight from the opening bell... He got shellacked.. sure he can beat some guys and maybe win another alphabet title at 140 .. but what for?? why risk another knockout when hes made millions and millions of dollars

Losing 2 fights to the 2 best fighters in the world means you should never fight again?????

Hatton should def retire

Hatton has been going downhill since the Tszyu fight. What you need to understand is that Hatton's punch resistance is a FUNDAMENTAL part of the success of his offense. It's like taking away Manny's speed, or floyds defense.

Hatton used to be able to walk through punches, apply unbreakable pressure and get hit to land punches and wear down an opponent.

Sadly his lifestyle between fights has caught up with him and now means he has next to no punch resistance.

Hatton from 2005 wouldve been able to walk through the shots that manny used to knock him down in round 1. (Not the punch in round 2 tho, no one couldve coped with that shot).

Hatton's lack of punch resistance didnt show against malignaggi because hes a soft puncher. But he got rocked by lazcano, knocked out by mayweather, rocked by collazo, urango etc. All these fights after the Tzsyu fight.

Thats why I think he should retire, but if he must, then just have one homecoming farewell fight against someone easy.

his punch resistance has gone,he should retire

haha this is hillarious, you get beat by Pac and Mayweather and all of a sudden theres no other fights you gotta get out.

[Boxing Bully]

Also, its not the fact that he lost to Manny thats the problem. It's the manner of the loss. Knocked down 3 times in 2 rounds, knocked out COLD.

It would be a different story if it was a decision loss, or late TKO

hatton better offf fighting bums in his backyard

haha this is hillarious, you get beat by Pac and Mayweather and all of a sudden theres no other fights you gotta get out.

u dont seem 2 understand,hatton is a guy who gets hit a lot in fights end of and now his punch resistance has gone it would be dangerous to put him in the ring with anyone decent

Here's what some people fail to realize, usually because it's not their lives on the line: Being knocked out as violently as he was against Pacquiao is life-altering. The man hit his head very hard on the floor and might have suffered a concussion (I wouldn't be surprised but I haven't heard anything).

He had two hours worth of tests post-fight, he's completely clear of any head injury and not a scratch on him.

His two losses to Mayweather and Pacquiao were finalizing endings, the kind that take a lot out of a fighter.

I don't think the Pac fight will have take much out of him, it was over very quickly. The Mayweather fight was more drawn out and draining but tbh I think he's fine.

On top of that, he has shown that he has only one style of fighting and it's one that leaves him in very vulnerable defensively. He's going to keep getting hit and taking two to land one and that just isn't the kind of fighter who should continue.

Possibly a good point.

If he continues to campaign at 140, he'll find himself in a division with sharpshooting ****ers like Timothy Bradley, Victor Ortiz and Kendall Holt; guys who present a very high rate of risk and little compensation.

I'd say Bradley then Marquez would be his path back.

Hatton has a target on his back and every fighter under the sky is going to be out to cash in on him. He isn't a Roy Jones type of fighter who can run and move, he's going to get KO'ed the next time he fights another big puncher.

you're forgetting that he can also throw.

Taking on the two best fighters on the planet and losing has painted a false picture of Hatton's level of ability, he's still a top fighter. It's up to him whether he wants to continue, for what it's worth, having watched his interview tonight, I don't think he will continue.
