Ricky Hatton's Road to Redeption

[jollystomper]

hatton should end his career by finishing the hypejob that is tim bradley!!!!
bradley was very lucky to catch witter while his dad was near enough terminally ill!!!

bradley looks a good fighter but nothing more!! holt was lucky to get a "headbutt" victory against torres or whatever his name is!!

i agree that the hitman is past his best but for all the people who downplay his victory against the mighty kostya tszyu!.. they obviously have a very short memory!!!

i have all of his fights on dvd and i seem to remember guys like mayweather,cotto.... etc all running scared!!

i`ll name 1 guy who despite being a massive underdog did not run scared!!!!!

GUESSWHO??

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?

I am in total concurrence with you there.
