    Does hatton have anything left? If so, who should he fight?

    Yes ricky still has 2 or 3 good fights in him before throwing it in, lets be honest, the man only lost to the two most skilled fighters in atleast the last 10 years.

    So whgo should he fight? Heres my idea...
    He should first settle the old rivalry in manchester and knock out Junior whitter. Big fight in Manchester stadium that i would fly over to England to see. I see hatton winning by Ko against Whitter.

    Second and maybe last, I think a fight with Juan Diaz at jr welterweight would be a good fight before retirement solely because of their styles. tough one to call..... anybodys fight imo.

    i think he's got enough left to beat most at 140 still.
    I'd like him to take on Witter to settle that; its the only fighter he can be accused of ducking throughout his whole career so it would be good to get that sorted.
    I think he'd win a wide UD, but if he looked sharp in that fight i'd want him to take on bradley, that would answer a lot of questions about how much he has left
    Then win lose or draw against bradley fight khan and take his head of his shoulders ~(or pass the torch) as his fairwell fight.

    If he only fights once witter would be my first pick, then khan.

      He has a few fights left in him but he needs to fight people like paulie M, Someone who doesnt pack a punch, Witter is too dangerous because of his awkward style and power and with Hatton's style Witter will land on him and KO him.

          Witter lacks the speed of Pac and PBF to land a punch that Ricky doesn't see coming (like Pac and Floyd did), which are always the hardest to take since you can't brace for them or roll with them.

          I'm fine with Ricky fighting whoever he wants to fight, he's already taken enough risks to be able to decide how he wants to end his career, if he does choose not to hang 'em up.

            I've always thought Witter would give Hatton heaps of trouble, and its no different now. If I were Hatton's advisors, I'd be steering him well away from that match-up.

              The fight might get some interest again if Witter manages to win the WBC from alexander Devon but as of now i doubt the fight happens..

              My thing is Hatton cannot take a shot like he use to and he would lose again if he fights a boxer that can punch and Witter has a very awkward style and can still punch, Might be a boring fight to watch but am pretty sure the atmosphere would be crazy.

                    he can fight the 140 guys if he wants.

                    get the 135 guys to move up is also possible.

                    fighters like ricky hatton can get anyone to fight them.

                    calderon would move up to 147 to fight ricky for the kind of money he can make in a hatton fight.

                    juan diaz , juan manuel marquez (after the loss to mayweather) , joel casamayor , julio diaz , david diaz , nate campbell , junior witter , timothy bradley , kendall holt , ricardo torres......

                    all would be good fights. hell , fight breidis prescott to avenge amir khan. lol
