he won't go out with a defeat even if he gets a hammering
there will be a UK farewell fight as said - possibly Khan at Wembley I reckon if he manages to avoid a second loss and lands a title

If Hatton did fight Khan,i will be there to watch it Live for sure.Hopefully it'll be at Wembley!I think Hatton would fully ruin Khans career!Hatton will beat Khan for sure!
I think the money will be too great to turn down - and it has potential to be biggest domestic fight of all time.
He won't want to miss that opportunity

I don't think he is going to lose this, the Mayweather loss may turn out to be the best thing that could have happened to Hatton. He's started thinking again and seems to be in a very good place mentally. If he can't beat a fighter who belongs at 135 pounds, then he should retire. I'm just not seeing it though.
Hatton wont retire, because hes not going to lose![]()
Yah man, PAC - DLH was zero evidence of PAC's ability at a higher weight. Any top 50 welterweight could have beaten DLH that day, along with a few JWWs. Hatton is fighting a smaller guy here, so him and his fans shouldn't put too much stock in this fight. Maybe a should fight a real JWW ffs. If there are any that is.
It's become a circus, it really has. Pac hasn't really taken a proper punch above 130 pounds and here he is being paraded as someone who he is not. He beat a shell of an Oscar. A walking zombie! It took Mayweather at his very best to finally get Hatton out of there, and let's not forget Hatton losing his cool. And it's on those two fights that these outlandish expectations are being built. The odds are ridiculous, and the writers seem to have been caught up by it all. It reminds me somewhat of Calzaghe: Lacy in this regard.
It was only a year ago that Marquez outboxed Manny over twelve. Beating Diaz and an old Oscar do not suggest to me a fighter that has suddenly become unbeatable. Like Calzaghe all those years ago, I can see a lot of people being proved very wrong.

I dont think Hatton needs to retire if he loses. Hatton can make a good living fighting up and comers and moving 1 class up or down. Pac may not even stay at 140 and if that is the case Hatton can still reign. I dont have much confidence in the rest of the field at 140.
Hatton will not get blown out in this fight so even if he loses he will be plenty marketable......even a rematch.
Hatton has another couple years in him win or lose.
there is a very strong chance that hatton will retire or be near to it.
lets consider who has retired after or shortly after.
marco antonio barrera
erik morales (said no mas after only 3 rounds)
oscar de la hoya (said no mas after 8 rounds)
it all depends on just how bad a beating hatton takes.
if hatton comes in fighting with his chin in the air, manny will knock him out.
i can visualize hatton quiting on his stool if he is not knocked out before the 8th round
I dont think it would be in Hattons interest to be a gatekeeper for up and commers. After having the big paydays he's had there would be not reason and its unecessary to risk his health like that.
I also disagree that he can move up or down a weight class. He's stuck at 140: don't think he can make any less and he got ko'd by an average puncher at 147 in pBF (ok, world class skills) and was almost KO'd by another with Collazo (solid skill set, but won't crack the top 5). Hatton can't bully opponents at welterweight. In fact, he gets bullied by fighters who arent bullies there.
I do agree that he is plenty marketable if he loses...for one last farewell fight.
I also agree if he loses it will likely be a fairly contested fight..i dont see manny blowing him out. I think this one will go 12...Hatton isnt a one-punch KO artist and manny is a tough guy with good movement. Either way, the loser will at least win 3-5 rounds imo.
