Actually, it's all sour grapes. Hatton is OK. I am still somewhat surprised he beat ANY version of Tszyu, but he did. Anyway, they fought he won. As far as Tszyu's career goes, I think the selection panel at the hall of fame will have no trouble inducting him.
I have found some of the highlights of Pacquiaos victory amusing. I suppose Tszyu was never flogged that bad, but there was another Australian boxer Fenech years ago who was a triplle weight world champ in the rugged brawler mode of Hatton who got done.
It was no joy, but I suppose it's harder for brawlers. Does he have it in him to go on. It will be tough. He'll need ample time to see if he wants to try. Certainly he doesn't need the money, and even these lesser fighters with a belt at 140, he's fighting for a fraction of what he has already made. It's all well for others to say one more time, but you should be careful. One more time assuming he's the old guy, not a changed fighter.
Good luck, commiserations, he had a great victory, much as I didn't like seeing what I thought was a greater fighter lose, he did lose. Hatton has been entertaining enough, and he was the better man when they fought. Does that get Ricky into the hall of fame, who cares I suppose. He gets into his countrymans thoughts, he beat a great fighter. He is rich for his efforts.
I suppose, well done, he has been good to watch
