Boxing Perspective: Should Ricky Hatton Hang Up The Gloves?

By Ricky Jones May 5th, 2009 All Boxing Articles

KO losses don't come any more devastating than the one Ricky Hatton suffered against Manny Pacquiao and the question must now be asked: should "The Hitman" retire or keep going?

There doesn't seem to be any point in a rematch given Pacquiao's thorough dismantling of the British bulldog, unlike the Filipino's clashes with Mexican greats Eric Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera.

There seem to be three ways the Hatton camp can proceed from this point. Either pull the plug on a highly decorated 12 year pro career or continue to face world class opposition in America in search of more world titles or return to England and fight lesser opposition.

Retiring represents the least profitable option of course but Hatton's legacy, which saw Ricky only come up short against the two greatest fighters of his generation, would remain intact, something that could prove invaluable to any future career as a promoter or boxing commentator in the UK.

While the Philadelphia based nephew of former world middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins was generally kept from forming a cohesive offense by the constant movement and footwork of the champion, he also didn't throw enough punches when the opportunities to do so arose and was outworked by Holt.
