Re: Hatton to fight again ?
I don't know. I think he has one more funny KO left in him. Morales would land enough to make it possible aswell.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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 ;D, 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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
A month or two back it was a possible fight against Oscar De La Hoya, now it's Morales...
It won't happen.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
Nope it won't happen not at all.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
I heard he ws going to fight Hamed at 175 ;D
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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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.
Re: Hatton to fight again ?

Re: Hatton to fight again ?
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 :cool:
