    nobody comes back after being knocked cold in 2 rounds...he's a deadbeat now, he should just fight bums in Manchester to make money.

            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?

              He may never have beaten any all time greats (and by all time greats I mean fighters in the same class Muhammad Ali, Jack Dempsey, Bernard Hopkins and Manny Pacquiao) but I think it is a little bit foolish to label the great Kostya Tszyu as a mere "bum".

                Considering that he had only been working with Floyd for the time they were working together...i think it was a REAL bad move he decided to fight Pacquiao...

                    Very good point, but he did not have such an excessive lifestyle.

                      • 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 don't think Hatton can ever recover from the Pacquiao knockout. He needs to have one more fight in Manchester and then call it a day before he puts his health at risk. Ricky looked like he had brain damage on Saturday. A sad sight.

                      I reckon he will will do as I said: one more then sign off. He'll concentrate on his promotion company instead.
