    Hatton agreed to a rematch...

    Surprising really... I'd have thought he'd be aiming at Floyd etc. rather than going for another tough fight with a big hitter like Tszyu...

    Fair play to him I guess but probably not the smartest move IMO...

      I think Tszyu should keep fighting. No need to retire. He talks of challenging himself. What bigger challenge than to see if he can regain that glory? He was still very competitive. He'd still beat Gatti. Maybe now is the time for him to move up in weight. With DLH returning to 147 and Mosley there and Judah there, there are some good money making options for Tszyu.

        35 is a good age for a fighter to retire IMO opinion though... According to the british press he's got a broken nose, broken jaw and has been pissing blood for 3 days so how much longer can a body take that kind of thing at that age...

        In your 20's you can recover but in your late 30's...??

            That jaw looked seriously damaged post fight. Imo tsyzu still beats mosley, dlh in big money fights and could probably take gatti and cotto for no other reason than cotto is very very green....in fairness though he has had a great career and the hatton fight was a bruising battle. By the time he picks up gloves again he'll be 36 right? I think he'll take the opportunity to retire especially since himself and hatton seem to get on so well and have mutual respect. What better way to pass the buck than to a guy you actually think is a great example to boxing and a nice guy to boot.

              tszyu had a great training camp. I have no doubt that the result will be the same. Tszyu can't handle someone coming at him for 100 percent of the fight at this stage of his career

                Yea Kostya should retire. Hes to old and a rematch would go much the same way...

                But it would be interesting to see him fight DLH, Mosely or Cotto
