He can't take a decent punch anymore so I would like to see him retire.

hatton has been my favourite fighter for years, but hes had his day,please retire son. i seen an interview on hattonboxing.tv when he was promoting danny butlers fight and his speech aint queit right, nothing major but dirrerent from a few years ago. i fear any of the top ten 140 lb ers will beat him today. MAY I SAY FOR THE RECORD THO, THE HATTON THAT BEAT TYSZU WILL BEAT ANY FIGHT FROM 140 TO 147 TODAY. i think after that fight he could never come like that again. long live hatton tho
Hatton fan myself, bold statement that one (well I bolded it) but I think he was at his absolute peak that night, he just would not be denied, his style was awful for Kostya but it shows how old Ricky has got when you compare that fight to the Pac or Lazcano fight.
Regardless of what he decides, the signed glove and pic mount will be on my wall for decades to come.
It would be funny if he fought Bobby Pacquiao to get revenge.
There's always a place for boxers like Hatton. Just put him in with another brawler and it'll be a smash. Like Gatti-Ward.
There's still one or two big money fights for him but he won't be the attraction. Well from a commerical point he will be, he still sells tickets but I mean from the point of view of the American media.
Imagine he fights Tim Bradley, Juan Diaz or Nate Campbell I'd imagine HBO would very much be seeing him as the big name opponent for one of these guys to put on their resume. Right now I'd say all three fights would be absolute pick ems.
He won't fight Witter. although knowing Zab Judah's uncanny ability to get a big fight I wouldn't be suprised if we saw Hatton vs Judah.
And I'm sure Hatton will happily suffer another embarrassing KO loss and VD sig vid for the millions he'd get fighting Oscar, never rule that one out.
He still has options........
What about a fight with Arnoutis? I think that would be a good matchup.

I agree 100% Hatton showed just how great he really is and that he is one of the Greatest Junior Welterweights of All-Time on that night. There is no way anybody today could have beaten Hatton. Hatton was a machine taking blow after blow and eventually making probably the 2nd Greatest Junior Welterweight of All-Time quit on his stool. I would love to see Hatton fight more, but he's a shot fighter now, but I believe he can still be a force.
