We all know that Hatton has taken his Ricky Fatton routine a bit too far and it has taken a bit of a toll on him. That is something that could happen to anyone though.
I am not really sure about why he mentioned Ray Leonard as a guy who slid down the track of disaster. Leonard had two or so fights past his best days when he should of stayed away. Those were the Terry Norris and Hector Camacho fights. It is not as the guy became a stepping stool for up coming prospects.
I take the whole thing with a grain of salt.
I think like me Colin fully expects Ricky to get his fat ass handed to him when one of the following prospects of Khan, Ortiz, Peterson or Gamboa reaches the world stage.
Better to retire now rather than get pasted by a unproven prospect in 2009.
I believe he should fight Paulie though, he can definitely win that fight and would probably beat any of the other current belt holders.
But as soon as some talent comes back to the division Hatton best quit and start his own chain of pubs.
