Comments Thread For: Joe Calzaghe Says Hatton Should Retire, Not Fight

[Tiozzo]

I wouldn't mind Hatton coming back, but if he'd lose to Marquez his legacy would take a BIG hit, and that's the whole problem. If he loses to someone who is not top1, his legacy will be really damaged. Right now he has a beautiful legacy, only lost to the absolute best of the sport. But history wont threat him nice if he loses again, I'm sure.

But then again the problem for him is probably that he only lost to the baddest guys in the sport and he might feel like he is good enough to take everyone else.

If he comes back and beat Marquez, I'd seriously give him mega props. Also if he lost in a war. But if he gets knocked out again, I'd consider him a fool for ever coming back.

I don't really see your point about his legacy... His legacy isn't that great, with or without the ko losses... And there are a lot of fighters who would beat Hatton between 140-147 that are not even near the top spot of their division... Face it, Hatton was carefully managed throughout his career, and he can't compete with the very best. I don't mind if he choses to fight on, but he better forget the p4p dream, because it will never happen. He should forget fighting welters too.
