Comments Thread For: Hatton Retires: I'm Sad But Know It's The Right Decision

I will, for as long as I live NEVER EVER forget the buildup to Mayweather-Hatton it's easily the most hyped I have every been for a fight. I put my account on the line I pust points on the line I put real money on the line and truly I felt invested in that bout. Thank you for the memories Ricky, you deserve to be remembered.

The Mayweather vs De La Hoya and Mayweather vs Hatton both had great build ups.. I had money on both. Lost a lot in the De La Hoya fight but made more in the Hatton fight. Still the most hyped fights to this day for me until Pac steps up to take a test and him and Floyd fight.

Hatton can sell a fight for sure and him and Floyd did a great job. Both there personalities clashed perfectly for hyping a fight... Hatton made it easy to root for him and not Floyd.

Good for Lil' Ricky. He'd probably never make 140 again, and the boys at 147 are just too big for The Hitman. He's smart, and super-likable so I'm sure he'll do great promoting fights both in The UK, and The States. Like Hamed before him, he was a Brit that wasn't afraid to test himself against the best in America while still in his prime, and I think whether you were a big fan or not, you have to respect the kid. I do wonder if his lady ever took him back after he ****** that Irish fighter chick???

Hatton had heart...

Balls to the wall was Ricky Hatton.

I thought this was a old thread... I could have sworn he retired years ago.
