    Don't you think Ricky Hatton!

    Don't you think Ricky Hatton in his last couple of fights looked ill at his weigh in? i can't find the pictures of them but i can remember watching them and thinking he's ill, and he never looks himself when he just gets into the ring any more, i can remember when he was in the ring and was just focused on the fight but yet again recently he has just not been bothered. Maybe Floyd Sr. has ****ed with his head in training, i just don't think he is himself any more!

      He was weak and washed up in his last two fights.

      Graham said he thought it was the virus when he looked horrible against Lazcano, but he came to the conclusion that after his loss to Mayweather he should have retired.

      His punch resistance and strength is gone. If he fights a hard puncher again he might get seriously hurt.

        Floyd sr was trying to teach him defence but he just don't use it, you seen against Pacquiao, if he wants to fight on he should use the defence he had learned.

        but you know the saying "you can't teach old dogs new tricks!" it maybe too late, Billy Graham should of done it when he got him at his young age!

            I agree he could end up badly hurt if he fought someone with a bit of ****. I think he should have one last fight in Manchester to say thank you and goodbye to his fans and call it a day, maybe against Khan, or even Witter.
            he has no reason to fight on, he's made **** loads of cash, proved to be a very good fighter at 140, but on his last two occasions against great fighters he's lost; badly. That was his last ambition, and even he should know now he's never gonna be the best of the best.

            Edit- just seen him at Old Trafford at the Manchester derby on TV. Hopefully he's gonna lose again today!

              Maybe him against Khan wouldn't be such a bad idea, i mean i can't see it being much of a fight i think Khan would get battered in the end of the night but it would be a good farewell, its up to everyone else all Hatton can do is suggest!

                Hatton is a bit of a mystery to us on this side of the Atlantic, we mistook him for being a brawler, but as Graham said, he's a pressure fighter.

                Strength and punch resistance are absolutely critical to his style. With those two things he was a wrecking force and the best pressure fighter in boxing, but without those two things he was reduced to a B or C class fighter.

                Graham noticed he was not himself against Lazcano, directly after the Mayweather loss, but he wasn't sure why he wasn't the same. He thought it was because of the flu virus he had, but just recently said he now realized he had nothing left after his loss to Mayweather.

                Mayweather Sr. tried to teach him things, but the first punch that was landed had him dazed and I don't think he recovered mentally after that point.
