    @ 140lbs circa 2005 he was awesome though!

    I think hatton was on a slow and steady decline from tszyu onwards...Respect for takin 6 straight fights in the US though.

    His style of fighting, balloning up in weight and general lifestyle all contributed to his decline. You can't treat your body like that and fight like that and expect to go on and on...Watch the Urango fight, although he won it convincingly and outboxed him you could see the fire and ferocity had gone! He was a schoolin waiting to happen by the time of the mayweather fight...Lazcano fight he looked dodgy too!

    He looks haggard nowadays his skin around his neck his loose, its quite tragic. I thought with the desire and determination he had that we may get some of the old hitman back. I had a feeling deep down it was a long shot though but i probably did'nt want to admit it such is my admiration for him. At least he's got his health & wealth and it's not a sustained 5 yrs or so of fighting non entities and looking bad in doing so! All the best hitman.

    everyone is saying is sad and poor hatton this and poor that

    i was there and it was the single best atmosphere at any venue i have ever been

    virtually everyone was singing on his ring walk, what a massive buzz that must have been

    yep he didnt deliver but he tasted the love one more time

    when he went down everyone was singing too

    amazing reception, i dont think we will ever see then likes of it again

    I was there too. I agree with you about the atmosphere and the fact that in a strange way it didn't feel that sad when he was counted out. Obviously I wasn't jumping for joy but it did feel like as a human being he had already won.

    You was probably still singing while Hatton broke down in to tears.

    For a boxer fighting over the age of 30 in the lower weight classes is a raffle, if you are active and reasonably injury free then you can do it, if you don't blow up in weight between fights and drain yourself whilst training you can can do it. Hatton had some wars in his career, he always had a face that looked like a busted ass even when he won! 2 big KO losses and then a bout of inactivity plus an extended stay at his local chip shop washed down with beers just made it all too difficult by age 34.
    I can understand his appeal over the years and i think he gave his all, people should not forget his achievements and i wish him well, he should not be remembered for his unfortunate end in his last fight.

    Pressure fighters usually peak out around 25-27 and fade out quickly. Ricky is pretty damn good to have held up as long as he did.

    I think he peaked with the Tszyu fight at age 26, his face was a mess after that fight too. He certainly pushed the envelope.
