Comments Thread For: Roach dismisses Hatton, ‘he’s washed up’; will he continue?

[adp023]

Well I think he means if your training a fighter you are somewhat responsible for his career and his health, If he trained Ricky then he would feel responsible for what happens to him. He thinks he should retire but if he wants to fight Khan then Freddie has too look out for his own fighter, and Khan would make a lot of money off Ricky and it could possibly help his career. I don't know, he definitely contradicts himself. He thinks he should retire and that's why he wont train him. If he is the opposing trainer though its not like its his fault if Ricky get hurt. Ha so confusing.

Good point, actually!! But at the end of the day, Freddie Roach is doing his job. If your opponent is TOO STUBBORN to retire, then you have no choice but to make him retire in the ring or someone else will do it and take your payday!! Obviously, Freddie won't tell Khan to put Ricky in a wheelchair....lol

Freddie is right not to train him!! After the Pacquiao fight, Ricky did NOT try to fix himself physically or mentally. Why would anyone with options want to train a man that is not helping himself???

Well hatton was never the same fighter after he got knocked out by floyd!!! It can happen to a fighter who has never lost before and then they get ko they just lose that feeling of invincibility they had and are never the same!!!

but hopefully floyd will feel the same when shane ices him, then manny can taste the floor next!!!

A part of me wants Hatton to continue because I like watching him fight.

Another part of me wants him to retire for his health and safety.



Whatever hehe

How would that help Amir's career if Roach already said Hatton is washed up? But then again that's how Pac made his career by beating up washed up fighters. Same trainer Same story.

Thats the name of the game. Fight well known has beens after they get brutalized via in ring wars. Then Cash in.

I think Roach i trying to say that a fight against Khan wouldnt have jeopardized Hatton health because Khan is not strong enough. Personally i would like to see Hatton back if he thinks he can still do it but not against JMM, thats too dangerous first fight back. I would like to see him fight a good English light welter first at home then think about JMM. JMM looked pretty good at the weight he was against Mayweather (condition wise), he took alot of punishment but didnt get stoppped.

no what i think ricky will come back and come back strong no doubt hatton 3 years ago would win anyone at light welter now the guy beat tyzu whos much better than anyone at 140 now its a strong division but no one in that class would of beat tyszu hatton did i think the hatton that went out there against malinaggi who he destroyed can stil beat most at 140 i havent wrotw him off yet be in the p4p top ten by christmas only as good as your last fight in this game thats the veiw of all but he was king at 140 for 4 years and ad a 40 odd unbeated record one fight dont change that hes got my backing

[gabe82]

what?

leeroycroft whatever the **** your name is go home. hatton beat tzyu yes but he ****ing wrestled for twelve rounds like he was rick flair. tzyu got bored and quit cuz the ref wasnt doin his job. mayweather at 140 would have retired him in a boxing match not a wwf main event. hattons garbage choke on your tea and crumpets.

[HitmanHattonAY]

Id like to see him go out a winner. One more Ricky!!!!
