Will Hatton Retire if he gets beaten??

[KKisser]

depends on how badly he's beaten. if it's a close fight a rematch could happen but if he's beaten to a pulp i think he'll consider one swan fight most probably in england. he has been thinking retirement for sometime now.

I doubt he will be beaten but if he does then I think he has hinted at leaving the game sooner rather than later.Depends on how badly he would be beaten, what the follow up options were in terms of a rematch if it's close. If no rematch for a close defeat then I reckon one or two more pay days and he's off.

In terms of Hatton changing weights , I do wonder how much his lifestyle has to do with it. Granted it would IMO be a lot harder to go down a weight but if he gained quality weight to go up the way maybe he would look better at WW. As I don't know that guy I won't comment too much but I think he went to WW on thre strength of pies and beer

Good point

Id like to think that he`ll end his career in a packed out wembley stadium with a vintage hatton performance that allows as many people as possible to see him bow out of the game.

Regardless of what happens saturday week and beyond hatton has been great value for money and an excellent servant to the sport in victory and defeat.

And i for one will miss him!!

I've read in one of the nationised papers today that if Hatton gets beaten and beaten badly come may 2 then he is strongly recommending retiring.I dont blame if he does,he's had a awesome career and i'd hate him to take to much damage inside the ring!

I really hope Hatton retires now after getting badly tagged off Manny.It was a really bad ko and i felt really sorry for him.Im not really bother if he does'nt have a home comming fight over here in the uk.I'd rather see him going and retire now.There's no shame with his two only losses from the best pound for pound best is there.

Please retire hatton,you've had a great career and given us brits some great fights.You have been great for british boxing you really have,but its time for you to hang up the gloves once and for all bud!!

COME ON...he got KO'd by Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, it's not like he got slammed by some bum. Ricky is still a good fighter, he's just not in the P4P elite. I am 100% sure Ricky could beat out most of the true 140 pounders and not the tourists who move up and down the weight classes.

There is no need for Hatton to retire unless he just is done with boxing

one farewell fight in england, even if he loses, as long as he doesn't get blown out again would be good.
