When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

Oh it's been let go a long time ago, just a reminder of some of the hysteria that went on here on this forum about Hatton way back in 2005 and 06 with little perspective taken into account. Hatton was a very good fighter, i liked him, but like Tszyu time wins in the end.
I just saw the KO and got 2 things from it #1 that ref was such a homer, he gave Ricky time to rest as he was fixing his glove and #2 Sechenko nailed that hook a few times to weaken him up.
Good. Best to him and future with new family.
Hatton has had a great career and though it tailed towards the end, he did come back and sweep the first 4 against a former champion and that on the back of 3 years out and battling with booze, weight and depression. Few fight a former champ in a first comeback bout and I believe it was a mistake, but Hatton was still able to compete somewhat. He got tagged and took it fine. Hatton obviously got stopped and though not the fighter he was, he can bow out with pride intact. He is not a failure in the slightest and let nobody down.
Hatton will always be one of my favorite fighters.
To be able to come back from drug addiction and near suicide is a personal victory onto itself. Good luck to him, and I hope he gets on with the rest of his life. He probably needed for the last memory of him in the ring not to be the KTFO at the hands of Pac. Now he can move on.
