has hatton failed his fans

[{BrownBomber}]

Man, he always said that he'd be retired by 2005.

After the Tszyu fight, he said he only had three fights left in him.

So let's be grateful he's not retired already.. with his style and between-fight habits he should be.

its a shame I see him in the best divisions making the best fights.why cant he stay away from the pub and train seriously for 5 years?

Five years? WTF.

He's already past his physical peak, at 28, which his 'style' relies upon. It is sad, but he is still around, is still undefeated and is still wanting the big fights.. so there is hope.

can he change his style up a bit?adapt? In 5 years he will be 32, what Castillo is right now,very similair fighters except Hatton holds more.

Well, that's just it. Hatton is in boxing to excite fans and give them their moneys worth - that's the way it's always been.

He definately has the tools to out-box his opponents, but that's not what he's about.

We want barn-burners against the Gatti's, Castillo's and Corrales' - instead of Ricky just out-boxing them all.

hatton prosmisted me and all the rest of fans that we would get great thing at 147 and all we got was a scappy performance and only 1 fight. now im starting to think the hitman isnt good enougth for mayweather marg and baldy what u guy think he should do to make things right?

i really dont like u atall

He ducked Floyd and Chico. He's not good enough of a boxer and got too much of the great white hype stigma for me to root for him.

Hatton is doing fine....if he beats Castillo he`ll be achieving things.

[DiegoFuego]

Hatton is just getting started. If he were to retire now, he would be seen as a major letdown. Why is JuyJuy acting like Hatton is past his prime? He just beat Tszyu, he's the best he's ever been and probably will be. Oh wait, I forgot. A built-in excuse for all British fighters is a must, right JUYJUY? Cuz if Calzaghe or Hatton loses now, it's only because they're old men in wheelchairs, not because their opponent is better.

No, he has not. He will never fail his fans in Britian. He has, however, failed me and all of his North American fans. He is a money hungry punk.

Hatton is doing great as far as I'm concerned. Is he not still the RING champion at Light Welterweight? Considering there is still some potential great fights for him at that weight, I don't see him as failing to live up to the hype. I do believe however that leaving Frank Warren was a big mistake.
