Ricky Hatton apparently making an annoucnment on future in 3 days

[roberto duran legend]

I hope the announcement is that Ricky is opening a pub,please dont get
back in the ring.

[Tam Seddon]

I personally think he will get back in the ring, I hope its a serious comeback if he does comeback, he doesnt need another brutal KO like last time, wasnt good to see at all. If he does comeback he needs a trainer who isnt a nutter either, and is there for ricky and only ricky. I didnt like the Mayweather-hatton relationship to be honest, didnt work at all.

I agree with everything you had to say. I always enjoyed watching Hatten in the ring, he was fearless, focused, busy and went to the body like they all should. He only failed at the very top. I knew Mayweather Senior was a mistake, when things go bad around him, the blame always belongs to someone else. Only wish the the best for Hatten, hope he comes back with a couple good wins, gets the monkey off his back, and then retires to a long life.

That's absolute loser speak. "When things go bad for him, the blame always belongs to someone else"?? Really??

I thought Ricky looked a million bucks when he fought Paulie. He outboxed him, stepped in and out, even had some resemblance of defence and patience that he didn't have with Billy Graham.

Ricky's problem has and always will be his ego. This is why I worry for his comeback. Sure, some of you are saying he would still be better and more credible than most fighters with a boxing licence today. While this is true, it's the level that Ricky will think he can fight at which worries me. You think Ricky will stick to the domestic scene or fringe contenders? Remember that this is the same guy that said things like : "No way Floyd knocks me out, when was the last time you knocked someone out?" or "I'm bigger than Floyd so I'll be able to bully him"

He thought the same thing about Pacquiao and got absolutely iced. Mayweather Sr was a convenient scapegoat. Regardless of how well camp went, Sr would never have sent him out there to with that ridiculous gameplan.

If he is to come back, he needs a team around him that will give him 100% honesty about his limits because he can't seem to see them.

I would take a guess that the below photo and PR are connected....

From that photo he does look in good shape, that is good news for his health.

Mayweather Sr conducted himself disgracefully running up to the Pacquiao fight, Mocking Roach's disability and then saying dumb things, like calling Hatton "the Italian stallion" .
The guy has gotten thrown out of his own son's gym and yet you think he had some master gameplan that would have completely reinvented Ricky Hatton? give me a break

The arrogance required to think that you can judge at what level he can fight at and what his limits are, is pretty breathtaking in itself, but to then suggest that the problem is with his ego and lack of humility is laughable. "Domestic and fringe contenders"?

Hatton would want to fight Pacquiao again why?
Did the anesthesia wear off?

[TheMacMagician]

If Hatton does decide to have one last go, I'm gonna keep a glimmer of hope that it will be with Billy Graham, just for the good times, one more stab at it. Billy Graham was a top top fella and what they shared was simply brilliant and a partnership I'll never forget.

Would you want to see him without an ego? That's a good definition of a loser! Look around, anyone worth a damn has a strong belief in themselves!
What everyone is trying to get across to you, is that Mayweather was the worst pick possible as a trainer for Hatten. Taking Hatten's fearlessness and fighting spirit into account, I doubt any trainer could have changed the outcome of that matchup. I could have done without Mayweather's mouth though, thank you much! I have no respect for Mayweather's Sr and his stint with Hatten only increased my dislike.

ı thınk you are understımatıng Hatton. Yes 33 ıs on the downward sıde of the raınbow for hıs weıght class and the way he has lıved and fought wıth pressure. But I really thınk ıts easy to count hım out at thıs poınt and that ıs jumpıng the gun. Khan doesnt have a chance agaınst Hatton. I can see Rıcky fıghtıng 3 maybe 4 fıghts and then retırıng agaın. And I say he wıns them all.

[Andre]

His biggest fight will be getting back into a ring. Its one thing being hungry for chips and beer, the hunger he needs to fight has to outgrow the other one.

[Tam Seddon]

I hope the announcement is that Ricky is opening a pub,please dont get
back in the ring.

i agree on this one, unless he comes back and looks really good. if its half arsed job he needs to retire for good !!!
