Should Hatton retire ?

[KKisser]

i want to see oscar dance one more time with ricky as his partner at a catchweight of 150lbs.

That was the type of knockout that ends careers. Hatton has nothing to prove now, so I wouldn't mind him just calling it a day.

Ya think Miles? I can't see that he's proved a whole lot to begin with, just one meaningful victory against a questionable Tszyu. If legacy is important he's got plenty to prove.

If he's smart he'll take his gazillions and go live the quiet life somewhere and forget about being an atg, if he wants to keep his marbles that is.

I actually think he hasn't got anything left to prove. You look at his early days and he weren't expected to go this far.

There's nothing left for him to do. Sure, he could fight Bradley or Witter. He could have a homecoming fight. Why bother? He's been a P4P top 10 fighter, beloved in the UK and respected abroad. If he has lost a close one, I wouldn't be saying this, but after getting dominated in that fashion, it's time to hang em up. Anybody who knows anything about boxing understands that Ricky's style of fighting and weight fluctuations were going to shorten his career. I can't help but think that Ricky's lifestyle contributed to him not being about to handle Pac's shots. He looked great against Paulie, but Paulie can't punch. I would hate to see Hatton stick around and get abused. He has made tons of money and he can retire with no shame.

It broke my heart to watch that last night.

I expect you to support your guy, so it's cool. Sure he's done better with the belts than you might expect, but the alphabet titles don't impress me much, especially the welterweight one. Sure, he was the top ranked JWW in a weak division, I'm more interested in who he actually fough and beat, and I've already made my point there.

[match]

When you get torched THAT bad by anyone, best fighter in the world or not, you need to hang em up. Fight was so one sided it made Hopkins-Trinidad look competitive.

[eleven]

a dont think he should retire hes lost 2 fights to 2 top pound for pound fighters think he still has a few gd fights left in him he should get rid of floyd sr and go bak to billy

[Snakey]

Knockouts like that are extremely hard to come back from. Really he didnt just get knocked out, he got dominated! He got knocked down twice in the first round and then out cold in the second. Your confidence levels are shot. I think hatton might HAVE to retire, sure he can fight on but will he still be the same warrior?

[Fenster]

There are no Wembley staduim fights after a brutal loss like that.

Yes he should retire.

Yes he should retire.

haha after that performance even Junior Witter won't want him

Hatton is still young.. He just lost to a legend on the making.. 1 thing i want him to do first is to change that ahole trainer and look for a much more focus coach who will guide him on his training.. im not making excuses on ricky's lose but if you watch closely the 24/7 and read all the news regarding their preparation its all about mayweather this mayweather that and so on and so forth.. what the hell.. Hatton is a good fighter and im sure he can comeback.. but if he calls it a career i have no problem with it..

When money$$$ speaks everybody listen... maybe who knows he can fight DLH at wembley..

[kaneo71]

I think he should have a homecoming
I'd love to see him fight Amir Khan or Oscar De La Hoya
But it's up to him if he wants to call it a day
47 fights and 45 wins ain't bad

Just out of curiousity... exactly how would you title this boxing card? (I have some suggestions, but I don't think they'd be very popular here).

Floyd Sr is a dick. I remember him saying something like to Ricky after the first round "I told from the day one of the training blah blah blah!". I can't believe hes already protecting his ass and the fight wasn't over yet.
