Thread: Ricky Hatton announces retirement

I found this quite rediculous to hear on the radio/news today that Ricky Hatton was retired. I found it bizarre because I thought he already had quite a while ago.

Was anyone under the impression Ricky was actually going to fight again?

Now he can shpend more time wiv his yickhle boy

Or spending money and shaggin around behind the missus back.....

i know which one I'd do

Its been fun Ricky! Thank you for the memories.

Fair play to him. I loved watching him fight. One of my favourite ever fighters The support he had from his fans will not be seen on these shores for quite a while I'd imagine. Thanks for the memories Ricky, you had a great career.

has ricky done the dirty?

Have you been living in a cave?



Yup it was a fantastic ride, I was a huge hatton fan i think he's bowed out gracefully. I doubt there will be a brit fighter like him any time soon.

I know VD is disappointed. I remember him saying that Hatton still had many cool knockouts in him awhile back.

venereal disease can say what he likes, Ricky wasgreat and boxing is a duller sport without him fighting.

Had some great nights at his fights the mayweather fight i will always remember las vegas was like the uk that weekend with so many english fans there. Thanx for the memories ricky on a great career.

Glad he isnt fighting again dont wanna see him lose to some1 he would of beat years ago.

Fairwell to a great boxer and great character!! Hatton provided entertaiment in and out of the ring, think his decsion to retire is a good one although i think he could still win afew more fights id hate to see him get beat by run of the mill opposion, hes only been beat by the two best men on the planet and thats something to be proid of after 45+ fights!!!

I was sure he had retired ages back. He was great to watch and always put on a show. He had a brilliant career and will be remembered for putting on great fights! Thanks Hitman!

He should have had one farewell fight against a crap fighter who he could beat up so that we can remember him on a positive note.

I am sure all the hookers in Manchester are getting a good pay day, nice one Ricky had many a good night watching you fight, the new crop of young brit fighters have a lot to live up too.

Good for you Ricky!

A fine career.

Thanks for the memories and STAY RETIRED!
