Hatton officially retires

[Gandalf]

34? Froch is 35 and getting younger with a more wearing style!!
What's the difference cos it's not the weight.

It is the weight mate, the heavier the weight, the longer your career can be.

It's styles too. Hatton has been all about quick feet and workrate and once that tapered off after 4, Hatton was pretty much done.

Few fighters keep their legs at 35 and unlike Floyd who is losing his legs and is defensive, Hattons legs only work for an aggresive approach.

Froch doesn't really use his legs in the manner of someone like Hatton. We said years ago that the lifestyle and fighting style would catch up to Hatton and they did.

Hatton tried to redeem himself, but this time he also had time to contend with not only waning powers, but an increasingly fragile mind and a massively abused body.

Imagine if Hatton had kept himself in shape as a sportsman should.
