Quit Now Ricky!

[HattonTheHammer]

He should quit he took loads of punches in that fight he leads with his face basically he used to jab his way in look for openings.Now he just does the old hook hold push them off hook hold push them off his defense is very leaky he looked like he had been in with Sam Peter at the end.He should hang up the gloves before he gets seriously hurt the skills have gone.

such an insightful, deep, well thought out peice of work there.

You ever thought about becoming a columnist for ring magazine

Didn't see much wrong with TysonBruno's post tbh. I feel the same pretty much.
I find it really hard to agree when Hatton fans consider him an 'exciting' fighter, when I've just watched Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor or Floyd Mayweather vs Jesus Chavez.
These guys really showed how inside fighting should be done and it was really entertaining, both going toe to toe on the inside with no holding at all. Short sharp punches. Unlike the really ugly and imo unentertaining garbage we've seen recently from Ricky Hatton. The Lazcano fight most rounds were fought with him tangling up Juans arms as though he were trying to break them! Just doesn't do it for me unfortunately.
Maybe his fans consider him getting hit too much exciting but I like to learn a little from watching boxing as well so yes I think Ricky has come to the end of the road. He has reached a very sudden plateau and just hasn't improved since the Tszyu fight. He's taken backward steps if anything.

I personally don't understand why Hatton should quit immediately. IMO, he's never been as good as some people think, but i enjoy watching him fight. I can't see him beating anyone relevant at 147, but if he could beat Paulie, and maybe Bradley, then he might get another huge payday shot at an Oscar, or Pac, or possibly Floyd, which would be a decent way to go out, regardless of the outcome. I don't agree that he's completely shot, and punchdrunk. If anything, he was just not as good as what some people thought.
