Comments Thread For: Mayweather Tells Hatton - "This is a Young Man's Game"

That left Pacquiao caught him with damn near killed poor Ricky. He went from a semi-worn down 30yr old to a washed up 40yr old with a sore jaw. Manny added on 10yrs worth of wear & tear with 1 punch.

Floyd is spot on. Im a big fan of Ricky, but I dont want to see him come back as a shell of his former self and get hurt worse.

Hatton should retire & just focus on promoting English fighters. Take English boxing 2 another level. He has a tremendous fan base & im sure he would bring the best that England has 2 offer 2 the USA.

Wow

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has advised Ricky Hatton to "think long and hard before you step back into the ring.” Mayweather won't tell Hatton what to do but he doesn't want to see him get hurt. Mayweather knocked Hatton out in ten rounds in December 2007. Hatton was demolished by Manny Pacquiao last April in two rounds. He recently announced a ring return for the summer. In recent photos, Hatton looks very overweight and well above his fighting weight of 140-pounds. [Click Here To Read More]

A respectable, intelligent comment from Floyd Mayweather Jr, first time for everything, at least the first time in a long time.

Floyd says Ricky took the defeat like a man, so I guess Floyd didn't read all the articles with Ricky complaining about Joe Cortez and the elbows, etc??

I'm assuming Mayweather's referring to how he took the punishment in the ring.

Sounded like good advice to me the latest pics of hatton were pathrtic he was fatter then prince naseem.

[The-BOSS]

Mayweather is speaking the truth.

Nah, he just does not want Hatton to fight him again because for sure Hatton will agree to a USADA/ GBP/ MAYWEATHER RANDOM BLOOD TESTING TILL THE FIghT DAY and EVEN on the RING WHILE THEY ARE FIGHTING. How come this is a young man's game when Mosley is already 38? I can feel fear again...

read the article properly genius.. he said its hard 2 stay fit after 30... hatton is always out of shape between fights..(hes nickname is ricky fatton).. now he's in he's early 30s he cant get in shape quick like he used 2...
as mosley and hopkins always keep in shape..

I think he should stay retired. If he does come back he has to take it slow and see what level of competition he can still compete at. If he goes straight back into a huge fight with Marquez or someone like that then it's game over.
