Comments Thread For: If Ricky Hatton Was My Son, I'd Say Retire, Says Arum

[AnimalisticMeth]

I think Arum should be a father to Cotto more than Hatton
because honestly, Cotto has taken far worse beatings and
punishment than Ricky Hatton has.

But lets be honest Cotto has more left than Hatton and his skills allow him to compete even if he is not the same. Hatton right now is a walking punching bag and even if Cotto got two bad beatings he still dish a lot of punishment to his opponents.

lewis was knocked out badly twice stil came back as strong as ever hattons getting slated everywere hatton gets m backin reckon he will win is come back against marquez khan alexander hes stil a level on those guys

knocked out only once you mean. The first time he was on his feet and not out, the ref stopped it quickly. Plus those were nothing like Hattons knock outs. Plus Lennox is way better than hatton anyways

[Weebler I]

Hatton's a grown man, he can make his own decisions. He'll win his comeback and probably the fight after that.

While Cotto has better skill than Ricky Hatton, Cotto has gotten
beaten up by 3 opponents in a row with exception to Michael Jennings. Pacquiao beat Cotto up the majority of the fight. What does Cotto
have left? Yuri Foreman might even beat the daylights out of him
at 154. Cotto power has been exaggerated a lil I think because
once he started fighting tougher and elite guys his big punch got
taken away and he was exposed for having lil resources in dire situations.
I mean, Hatton got KO'd by two fighters but I think Cotto has taken
the most punishment.

i agree but Cotto was KO'd by two fighters as well and while it wasnt out cold like Hatton it might be worse for Cotto because like you said he took A LOT more punishment IMO and yours too lol

[Danny Gunz]

he's a big boy he still has got some fights left in him.

If i were in hatton's situation I would NEVER want to retire to a knockout loss like that. Horrible way to end your career.

[fcr1215]

If he goes up against Cotto he will get knocked out again very badly I should say

[Perroskis]

if hatton was arum son he would be undefeated and beaten some washed up fighters but of course draining them first and on steroids
