    Default Should Hatton retire ?

    I think he should have a homecoming in Wembley stadium or somehting. Against a contender so he can go out with a win. Or at least have one more fight at home.

    There's nothing else he can achieve. He has lost 2/3 career defining fights and I feel he should walk away after one more fight.

    Thoughts ?

    That was the type of knockout that ends careers. Hatton has nothing to prove now, so I wouldn't mind him just calling it a day.

    Ya think Miles? I can't see that he's proved a whole lot to begin with, just one meaningful victory against a questionable Tszyu. If legacy is important he's got plenty to prove.

    If he's smart he'll take his gazillions and go live the quiet life somewhere and forget about being an atg, if he wants to keep his marbles that is.

    I actually think he hasn't got anything left to prove. You look at his early days and he weren't expected to go this far.

    There's nothing left for him to do. Sure, he could fight Bradley or Witter. He could have a homecoming fight. Why bother? He's been a P4P top 10 fighter, beloved in the UK and respected abroad. If he has lost a close one, I wouldn't be saying this, but after getting dominated in that fashion, it's time to hang em up. Anybody who knows anything about boxing understands that Ricky's style of fighting and weight fluctuations were going to shorten his career. I can't help but think that Ricky's lifestyle contributed to him not being about to handle Pac's shots. He looked great against Paulie, but Paulie can't punch. I would hate to see Hatton stick around and get abused. He has made tons of money and he can retire with no shame.

    It broke my heart to watch that last night.

    I expect you to support your guy, so it's cool. Sure he's done better with the belts than you might expect, but the alphabet titles don't impress me much, especially the welterweight one. Sure, he was the top ranked JWW in a weak division, I'm more interested in who he actually fough and beat, and I've already made my point there.

    When you get torched THAT bad by anyone, best fighter in the world or not, you need to hang em up. Fight was so one sided it made Hopkins-Trinidad look competitive.

    Knockouts like that are extremely hard to come back from. Really he didnt just get knocked out, he got dominated! He got knocked down twice in the first round and then out cold in the second. Your confidence levels are shot. I think hatton might HAVE to retire, sure he can fight on but will he still be the same warrior?

    Totally agree. He didn't just lose out there, he was blown away and fell as hard as anyone in recent memory. It's the type of thing you would expect of Amir Khan, you just wouldn't expect it of Ricky Hatton though.

    He definitely should retire, the punch resistance has gone and that knock out will take some more out of him, if that's all Ricky has left its better he calls it a day while he still has some marbles.
