    have thought about this some more overnight - his career deserves a farewell fight over here for sure so am all for that now.

    As for an opponent thats a tough one - Khan, Witter ? I am just not sure

    As I've said I don't want Khan to beat him and Ricky will find it tough mentally.

    I know what you're saying Otley about him being able to live with most but the elite - but that's the thing, Hatton wants to be in the elite and he won't like fighting in a lower echelon (check out the big words from TKO) to them as he knows he has been unable to join them.

    Home farewell it should be
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    I think he could get stopped by all three of those guys mentioned, he had a bit of a growing chin problem as it was before Saturday night, Lazcano was a red flag is there ever was one and Malignaggi was really the perfect opponent.

    I can't imagine a worse way for Ricky to end his career than getting stopped by Junior Witter. Of course that fight would never happen I'm sure. If anybody I guess Khan would be the best option.

    if he's able to overcome the KO mentally than i think he can go on to win another title, but honestly i doubt he will, and after Saturday i have zero interest in a Cotto Vs Hatton fight anymore

    Donaire-Darchinyan KO was very similar to Pacquiao-Hatton KO.

    And look where Vic is now. Heck, Vic is even 3 years older than Ricky.

    Nah. Ricky should hang 'em up.

    I say if Ricky wants to fight again and have it exciting then how about Michael Katsidis?

    That's a decent idea...it could be a very entertaining fight as well.

    Ricky should fight at least one more time, no need for him to go out like that. Perhaps Ricky could fight Witter or even Lenny Daws, just have a fight in the UK, give the fans one last hurrah and then hang 'em up and live in the pub.

    ...I still wish we would have seen Ricky Hatton fight the following: Diego Corrales (R.I.P), Acelino Frietas, Arturo Gatti, Mickey Ward, and Miguel Cotto

    I think Hatton's family should demand that he retire. He needs an intervention if he decides to fight again.

    Look, we all know Hatton is as tough as old boots. Still, after the Mayweather KO and now this one, it is just too dangerous for him to fight on.

    Sure he could fight a "homecoming" fight. Still, it better be against a fighter with zero power. The last thing Hatton wants is to get KO'd again and who knows what punch could do it after the trauma he has endured as of late.

    Don't be the UK Gatti with your lip falling off your face as the commisoner runs into the ring to stop the fight.
