Who do you want for Ricky Hatton?

[XaduBoxer]

There were reports that Hatton might consider a farewell fight late this year at Wembley arena... Who do you want Hatton to face in his farewell fight?

Vote in the poll...

Just state the name of the boxer you want if he's not included in the poll list...

.

where did you get that info from this soon?

It's from the DAILY EXPRESS, a UK paper...

"DAILY EXPRESS: Ricky Hatton will not retire from boxing following his horrific second-round defeat by Manny Pacquiao at the weekend, but is planning instead to make a farewell appearance in the ring later this year in Manchester. Also: Thierry Henry was at the centre of an injury mystery last night as Barcelona prepared to fly to London to face Chelsea."

It could be a pure speculation tho...

Good to hear that he won't go out on that crappy ending, but I just hope that he does make his farewell fight a happy ending.

Well there's always 2 possibilities... Go out proudly with a win... or go out sadly with 2 successive losses...

I heard a rumour that Michael Katsidis is/was being lined up as a final fight for Hatton in the UK.

Yep I've heard that too... That's why Katsidis in the list... That would be nice match up and Ricky might get that farewell win...

I'm actually not too sure. Katsidis can punch and will be very confident. However he is one dimensional and if Ricky can take just a little of that Pacquiao defeat out his system he will be too good for Katsidis.

Glad to see his farewell fight will be in Manchester. I missed the Lazcano fight so I'll definitely be attending this. Manchester is only a half an hour drive from where I live.

It'll never happen, but Witter for me if he beats alexander. It would be an ideal fight for a title at 140 to go out on, but I don't think Hatton's ever been overly confident of a win with Junior.

[Fenster]

He's spent nigh on 10 years dodging Witter. I don't see why he'd face him now, now that he's at the lowest point of his career.

Getting sparked by Pac/Floyd is justifiable. Getting sparked by Witter is a suicide watch job.

I like a matchup vs Katsidis or Witter. They should be easier fights than Manny and Floyd

I would love to see him fight Khan. It would also be a good indicator as to how good Khan really is. He's been saying he has been having the better of rounds with Pac in sparring.

That would be nice too specially if Khan defeats Kotelnik impressively like knocking out Kotelnik... What makes it more attractive will be the added 140 belt... Hatton could retire a champion...

I can't really see JMM wanting to bother now. Maybe Juan or David Diaz would be competitive for Hatton if they moved up.

Pretty good match-up with these 2 and regarding David Diaz, he can always claim that he lasted 9 rounds with PAC...
