Thread: Quit Now Ricky!

Quit now Ricky! | The Sun |HomePage|Sport|SunSport Columnists

Colin Hart of The sun is calling for Hatton to quit.

The article annoyed the hell out of me.

Thoughts?

It's from The Sun newspaper, no surprises then

IMO he shouldn't quit no way, he looked good last week and he has plenty left to beat Paulie, Torres etc.

I know does Hart still think Cotto, Mayweather and a prime Kosta Tszyu still fight at 140?

"They are expected to meet in in the autumn. I wonder how many more pints and pies Ricky will consume by then."

-Colin Hart

It sounds like he has genuine concern for Ricky's health in the ring.

Sounds like he's trying to become some sort of moral leader to me. How did he expect him to look?

I think it is totlly over the top artical.


I think that is Hattons best performance since his win over KT.I would say Hatton is still the best light welter in the world by a long way so why should he quit now.


The press did not mind Big Frank Bruno having chance after chance and at his best he was only half the fight that Hatton is.


I am supprised at Colin Hart because he normaly talks sence.

I don't like how he tries to make out like Lazcano is complete shit.

When you compare him to the other threats at 140, he's actually pretty good.

It's sorta hypocritical really because he says he's on the slide big time, yet he refers to his biggest threat as 'mediocre'

If that's the case, what's the problem?

Man, the guys from the Sun paper, if you lived in the UK you would know how shit the Sun paper is. I wouldn't use it to wipe my ass with.

It's funny coz Lazcano was ranked number 8/9 by the Ring ratings the week before the fight. He was no joke.

Colin Hart gets on my nerves but he's right about Hatton not being the fighter he used to be.. I think another loss is inevitable too.. but don't think he needs to retire just yet

"Compared to other light-welterweights, being hit by Lazcano is the equivalent of being assaulted by a ball of cotton wool. Yet three times he came close to dropping Hatton."



This comment made me laugh does he know anything about Lazcano ?? Lazcano has always been a solid puncher and he hits harder than majority of Jr Welterweights. None of the title holders can punch except Torres so this comment is ridiculous.

Hatton was hurt more in previous fights against Magee, Phillips, I honestly think this whole thing about Hatton almost being KO'ed is well overrated. I mean just take a look at how Hatton went back to the corner, his head was clear and his legs were fine. I think people are being way too harsh on Hatton like i've said many times, Hatton was coming off a humiliating KO loss. And to comeback against a solid opponent in front of 56000 fans i think he done very well taking all that into account.

Except for his defensive issues which he has always had what was really wrong with is performance ?? his combinations were good, his body punching was good, he showed a lot of energy in the later stages, so why all the hate ??

He thinks powderpuff is shit yet gives him a chance against Ricky. Thats how far he thinks Ricky has slipped.

Lazcano versus any other champ at 140 is pretty much 50-50 imo. I don't think there is much difference.

Also Hart said Hatton's timing was off yet he landed close to 40% of his punches.

How good did he used to think Hatton was? Scary.
