His only horrifying KO loss was to Pac (an all-time great, fearsome puncher). Dozens and dozens of fighters carry on after terrible losses. Just because Hatton is famous doesn't mean he should be prevented from this.
Look at guys like DeMarcus Corley? He's suffered about half-a-dozen KO losses and about 50 knockdowns yet pulled off TWO upset victories this year. He's much older than Hatton and boxed well over a hundred more rounds.
If Hatton wants to comeback - so be it.
I agree, great example with Corley or Nate Campbell for that matter.
I don't get this panic and outrage over a possible Hatton comeback.
He's not coming back for a rematch with Pacqauio or to fight Canelo or some other suicide mission.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
