Thread: Hatton to fight again ?

Suggestions in the British press that GBP has offered him a fight against Morales...

Ricky you need to move on. 2 years since you 'fought' Pac Man. You were never the best at staying in shape between fights and your downward spiral after the Pac Man fight into depression, drink and drugs is well known.

Fighters who have Hattons style are like shooting stars they burn bright for a short while then burn out they are not built to last or to come back.

He's been quoted as saying he doesn't want to leave boxing on the end of a second round KO and would consider one last fight. Forget it Ricky - don't make the mistake so many have in the past - your time has been and gone. You were KO'd by two ring legends and there are worse and far more tragic ways to leave the sport and we don't want that for you....

I don't know. I think he has one more funny KO left in him. Morales would land enough to make it possible aswell.

hes been in the press recently saying he has come to terms with his boxing career being over hasnt he?

i doubt there is any truth in this

what a fighter he was tho eh?

im looking forward to the next hatton

From what i've heard his Promo company is losing money hand over fist, he may need to have one or two fights to inject some cash into this failing project. Seems strange, because on thursday on Sky Sports News, he claims his fighting days are over and on Sunday, and lets not get too carried away here as the story was reported in the News of The World , he may fight on after a meeting with Oscar.

The only way he gets back in the ring is for financial reasons for me, just hope this is not the case.

A month or two back it was a possible fight against Oscar De La Hoya, now it's Morales...

It won't happen.

Nope it won't happen not at all.

I heard he ws going to fight Hamed at 175


He won't come back AND Morales wants a belt, Ricky doesn't have one anymore...its a ridiculous fight to make. I don't mind Hatton, I didn't care for his fans too much, but I didn't mind him he was a limited fighter but always gave it his best in the ring. I wish he had a few battles because he certainly had the style for it I specifically wanted to see him fight: Cotto, Corrales, and Gatti...though a fight vs Zab would have been OK too or JMM, that would have been interesting.

The thing is one minute you're mixing with celebs and earning millions for a nights work your the hot topic creating lots of press inches... your promotion company is trading off your success and all is good in the world.

Boxing fans are a fickle bunch and if you're not in the spotlight your soon forgotten.

would Ricky want it all again the training the big fights and the money... sure he would.

could he come back... sure i think Hatton coming back teaming up with Billy for nostalga and taking on witter or khan would still sell and he could make massive money

will he come back...... nah.... he just aint got it anymore and he knows it.. it would prob do more damage than good now.

But saying all that, I can only imagine in my wildest dreams what it must feel like to be a boxer with a massive fan base chanting your name, everything going right and earning millions for a nights work.

i would say it would be hard if not impossible for anything in life to top that or to get anywhere near that again.. so who knows he might just come back.

No chance he said he is retired and I do not expect him to box again, but if he promotes as badly as he did the Khan fight, he would be broke in no time.

Hmmm money talks and I think there would be interest in a fight with Morales. Saddo makes a good point too - Hatton like so many fighters before find when they stop fighting they can't find anything to replace it hence the drink/drug issues.

History is littered with fighters who think they have one fight left - I'm not convinced that Hatton will be one of the few who retire and stay that way. In his mind he'll be thinking I lost to the two best fighters in the world and can still handle fighters a step or two down from that.

I hope I'm wrong but I'd expect Hatton to have at least one more fight before he calls it a day completley.

Hatton vs Witter? No thanks.

Khan vs Hatton would be a silly move. Sure it would make a shit load of money but Hatton would find himself on his back yet again.

Stay retired.

Piffle.

Hatton is retired.

Yeah cos fighters never say I've retired 100% and then make a comeback

Pretty sure his license was revoked too because of his cocaine problems.

It is amazing to be that popular I have to admit. Thankfully, I am still as popular as ever, so I don't have to deal with the come down
