Embarassing as it is my response to hattons plan is the same one my 10 year daughter got suspended for last year. "Whatever nigga" !! Or in this case "whatever hatton" these retirement gameplans are starting to be just another trend. I would hope to see hatton fight for much longer than two fights especially with all the good fights that can be made. But if not as with floyd and oscar's retirements......whatever.

Hatton won’t quit yet!
British boxing hero Ricky Hatton has played down reports in the press that he only has two fights left in him. While Hatton admits he is entering ‘the home straight’ of his career, he has no intention of hanging up his gloves just yet. Speaking to Setanta Sports News, Hatton said, "Everybody wants to fight Ricky Hatton these days; with the fan base I’ve got, the following I’ve got and how exciting my fights are. I feel like I’m performing better than I’ve ever performed. I don’t want to turn round and say ‘one more fight, two more fights, three more fights.’ When you’re in a position like I am and you’re performing like I am, retirement doesn’t come into my thinking really."
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think Hatton might fare better against De La Hoya than Pac. Pac looked just as strong if not stronger against Diaz and 5 more pounds may just make him that much stronger, whereas a weight-drained Oscar at 147 might just be the trick. I guarantee you Oscar went thru hell to get to 150 and those last 3 pounds for a man in his mid 30s who already had a low body fat percentage is a nightmare. Remember, the fight isn't the day after he fought Forbes but months after this point which can only fare poorly for a man getting older. Ricky didn't look awful at 147, he looked awful against the P4P best fighter in the sport- there's a world of difference just like there's a world of difference between a 154 pound Oscar and a 147 pound Oscar. I guarantee if Hatton burrowed into his body Oscar would turn into a zombie after the 6th round, but guess what Ricky's going to get with a quick punching machine that munches up the extra pounds each time he hops up a division? A face ache. Hatton doesn't have Pacquiao's speed, punch accuracy are the ability to work for a full 12 like Pac does. At least Oscar fades. That being said, the Pac fight is the better fight to be made, it's just not the one that would be in his best interest if he wants to be on his feet by night's end.
Hatton up until Tszyu was a machine a great fight however he has steadily gone down hill with career worst against Mayweather.
From rds 4-10 against Lazcano he looked good stopped hugging.
Cant see Paulie or Manny touching him if he fights to the best of his ability tbh.
Whats all this Oscar will Ko Hatton Bullshite.
Oscar, as good as he was, could not KO Forbes, and Forbes is smaller than Hatton, Osar at 36 woulde a good battle and evn at 147, I favour Hatton to win.
