Thread: Will Hatton Retire if he gets beaten??

Hi folks,just two weeks to go until the Hitman vs Pacman fight at 140lbs.Question is if Hatton get beat for the first ever time in the 140lb division would he retire soon afterwards?I feel he might,even though he said he has another 2or3 fights left in him.

If it will be the worst beating ever in his boxing career, I think he might retire...

Hows things Peter you ok mate?

I dont think he will, i think a loss sees a fight with Bradley in the uk as a final fight.

he won't go out with a defeat even if he gets a hammering

there will be a UK farewell fight as said - possibly Khan at Wembley I reckon if he manages to avoid a second loss and lands a title

Im fine,thanks for asking!Erm you have a good point about him fighting Bradley if he does end up getting beaten badly by Manny.I cant see Hatton winning a rematch with Pacman if he does get beaten,and Pacman wont wait about as he'll be going straight for Mayweather.My heart says Hatton,but my theory says Manny.Pacman's reflexes are too quick for Ricky for me!I hope im wrong though!!

I hope he does'nt really fight Khan mate.I'd rather Hatton fight Kel Brook if thats possible!That would be a better fight for me.

not a big enough name

Think about the £££££££££££

It will be Khan

I support a UK farewell fight and he can fight either Nate Campbell, JMM or Junior Witter (?) ...

Yes could make sense you reckon Franky would let Kahn fight Hatton?

If Hatton did fight Khan,i will be there to watch it Live for sure.Hopefully it'll be at Wembley!I think Hatton would fully ruin Khans career!Hatton will beat Khan for sure!

I think the money will be too great to turn down - and it has potential to be biggest domestic fight of all time.

He won't want to miss that opportunity

I don't think he is going to lose this, the Mayweather loss may turn out to be the best thing that could have happened to Hatton. He's started thinking again and seems to be in a very good place mentally. If he can't beat a fighter who belongs at 135 pounds, then he should retire. I'm just not seeing it though.

Hatton wont retire, because hes not going to lose

Yah man, PAC - DLH was zero evidence of PAC's ability at a higher weight. Any top 50 welterweight could have beaten DLH that day, along with a few JWWs. Hatton is fighting a smaller guy here, so him and his fans shouldn't put too much stock in this fight. Maybe a should fight a real JWW ffs. If there are any that is.

It's become a circus, it really has. Pac hasn't really taken a proper punch above 130 pounds and here he is being paraded as someone who he is not. He beat a shell of an Oscar. A walking zombie! It took Mayweather at his very best to finally get Hatton out of there, and let's not forget Hatton losing his cool. And it's on those two fights that these outlandish expectations are being built. The odds are ridiculous, and the writers seem to have been caught up by it all. It reminds me somewhat of Calzaghe: Lacy in this regard.

It was only a year ago that Marquez outboxed Manny over twelve. Beating Diaz and an old Oscar do not suggest to me a fighter that has suddenly become unbeatable. Like Calzaghe all those years ago, I can see a lot of people being proved very wrong.
