Ricky Hatton's Road to Redeption

[Bobby Shaw]

I'm one who doesn't believe Ricky should hang it up. I think he has good fights in front of him that he can win. If I was Ricky, this would be my road to redemption.

• Go back to Manchester and take a confidence builder fight
• Take on the contenders at 140, clean house, work on improving your game
• Try and regain a belt or 2 at 140
• Go for one more big money fight, retire no matter what happens

I figure this Road to Redemption I have laid out should take him about 3-4 years. He'll be around 34-35. Great time to retire and get out with money and your brain still in tact.

I dont think Ricky should ever fight again.It was scary watching him going through a near death experience.He was completely outclassed and didnt fight like a champion.There is no doubt there are fighters out there Ricky can win against but @ what cost.Lets not forget Ricky has never been able to defend himself.He has been through many wars and all those things accumulate.He has probably been punched more times than many boxers and that's not good in the long term.It would not be good to see him developing long term health problems just because he wanted to prove himself or wanted more money.

Also Ricky doesnt have any punch resistance anymore.That alone can lead to many problems.We dont want to see any dead men in the ring.If I was Ricky I would retire while I still have my senses.Campbell needs his daddy so he has to take that into perspective

Go back to UK fight Witter. If he can get past Witter then take a fight with Bradley or Holt if he can get past that test fight a big money fight but honestly he just made a big payday and he is onyl what 30? He made some big money off of the fight with Floyd too right in my mind he don't look like the type to be throwing his money away so he should be alrgiht if he retires now I do not think he can beat the top P4P fighters of the world so if that was his goal then he should retire right?....Lefty

wow, i sense a bit of jealousy...

Dynamite Kid is actually Junior Witter. It's why he big ups Bradley so much.

Ricky just proved what we knew all along, he is ducking me.

Hatton.............."What does Junior Witter bring to the table "

Danger!!

hatton showed a motivational issue coming from a KO defeat from mayweather... makes me kinda skeptical about this redemption thing this time coming from a much worse KO defeat from pacquiao...

fighting a tomato can or a fading contender sounds like a bad idea to me if u talk about redeeming himself...

a trainer with good motivational skills would certainly help...

fight bums in UK

best choice than maybe bounce back from that

The man just does not have it any more dude.

His excessive consumption of Guiness and pastry has caught up with him and he is now a shell of the man who destroyed the great Kostya Tszyu and Jose Luis Castillo. I have said for several years that he would never have the career longevity of the other Brit World Champions of this decade; the likes of Lennox Lewis and Joe Calzaghe. Sadly I was proven right on Saturday night.

If Hatton got himself a truly great trainer such as Freddy Roach then there is a chance that he could become a World Champion again, but he has already four World titles at two different weight divisions. The one thing he had left to achieve in boxing was attaining the title of the greatest pound-for-pound fighter on Earth. He will sadly never do that now, so why continue?
