Ricky won't lose this fight so the question is redundant...Manny is overrated and cannot take the power Ricky will produce!!
This is'nt an over the hill deflated Oscar!
As for Khan..that could possibly take place if Ricky loses his next couple of fights and Amir does well in his and would generate a high PPV audience for the couple of rounds it lasts before the sponsors on the soles of his boots come into view;D
TOTALLY SHOT is your excuse.Quote:

oscar was not shot before his fight with manny and far too many people laughed at this fight and far too many people even thought that manny was too small, too weak and then he went on to give odlh a shellacking of his life. He too (odlh) just sat there with this dumb look on his face just like morales did and wishing the fight would be stopped.
i see the same thing happening to hatton.
will your excuse be hatton was shot?
as far as barrera goes, he should have stayed retired and it was pacman who made it possilbe.
hatton is done and we shall wait to hear you and others claim hatton was shot after pacman takes his body, spirit and his soul back to the island and buries him their with the rest of his victims

What a load of pompous drivel. Keep thinking that Oscar wasn't shot and that Manny wasn't outboxed against Marquez 14 months ago. You people are living in clouds and supported by nothing but hot air. :rolleyes:Quote:

Why would he retire? He is only 30 years old and a loss to the Pacman won't end his career, depending on how he loses then a rematch is certain by the end of the year. I can't see Pacman beating him easily so why would he consider retiring unless he was blasted out inside 3 rounds? That isn't going to happen. Rematches, Marquez and possible Cotto fights are all lucrative possibilities for the Fatman in the next 2 years. I see him going out sometime in 2011.
I dont think it would be in Hattons interest to be a gatekeeper for up and commers. After having the big paydays he's had there would be not reason and its unecessary to risk his health like that.Quote:

Hatton can't bully opponents at welterweight. In fact, he gets bullied by fighters who arent bullies there.
I do agree that he is plenty marketable if he loses...for one last farewell fight.
I also agree if he loses it will likely be a fairly contested fight..i dont see manny blowing him out. I think this one will go 12...Hatton isnt a one-punch KO artist and manny is a tough guy with good movement. Either way, the loser will at least win 3-5 rounds imo.
depends on how badly he's beaten. if it's a close fight a rematch could happen but if he's beaten to a pulp i think he'll consider one swan fight most probably in england. he has been thinking retirement for sometime now.
I doubt he will be beaten but if he does then I think he has hinted at leaving the game sooner rather than later.Depends on how badly he would be beaten, what the follow up options were in terms of a rematch if it's close. If no rematch for a close defeat then I reckon one or two more pay days and he's off.
In terms of Hatton changing weights , I do wonder how much his lifestyle has to do with it. Granted it would IMO be a lot harder to go down a weight but if he gained quality weight to go up the way maybe he would look better at WW. As I don't know that guy I won't comment too much but I think he went to WW on thre strength of pies and beer :p

Regardless of what happens saturday week and beyond hatton has been great value for money and an excellent servant to the sport in victory and defeat.
And i for one will miss him!!
I've read in one of the nationised papers today that if Hatton gets beaten and beaten badly come may 2 then he is strongly recommending retiring.I dont blame if he does,he's had a awesome career and i'd hate him to take to much damage inside the ring!
I really hope Hatton retires now after getting badly tagged off Manny.It was a really bad ko and i felt really sorry for him.Im not really bother if he does'nt have a home comming fight over here in the uk.I'd rather see him going and retire now.There's no shame with his two only losses from the best pound for pound best is there;).
Please retire hatton,you've had a great career and given us brits some great fights.You have been great for british boxing you really have,but its time for you to hang up the gloves once and for all bud!!:eek:
COME ON...he got KO'd by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, it's not like he got slammed by some bum. Ricky is still a good fighter, he's just not in the P4P elite. I am 100% sure Ricky could beat out most of the true 140 pounders and not the tourists who move up and down the weight classes.
There is no need for Hatton to retire unless he just is done with boxing
one farewell fight in england, even if he loses, as long as he doesn't get blown out again would be good.
