    No it's not that bad. And he can also take comfort that he provided the Boxing world with 2 of the best knock outs ever. To bad for him he was the one getting knocked out. But hey they were classic

    To be fair, those two KO's are pretty much classics.

    I agree, it's not the losses that define his legacy, it's all the resounding victories against top notch opposition.

    In that case Hatton will be forgotten very quickly

    I can see Hatton steering clear of this and I think it would be a good thing too. If he does fight again he needs to be in with someone who if he loses there won't be any shame, but who that is I don't know. If he lost to Khan it would be embarassing as he is still generally looked on as being a novice.

    Problem is, does anyone want to know Ricky for a top match up, I doubt it so the Khan fight may be the only option to gain a belt and big pay day. I could see it all go horribly wrong for Hatton. He also doesn't have time for any kind of tune ups to get back to the big stage.

    I want to see Ricky retire and enjoy life, go out on his feet not on his shield.

    I'd like to see Hatton - Campbell, but then again I'm a big fan of Campbell's and I'd like to see him earn the payday. I think he'd beat Hatton, but it's no forgone conclusion.

    Hatton seems to be leaning more towards retirement than anything else IMO. The loss has probably taken a lot out of him emotionally. He was aiming for the top and he just couldn't do it. Hatton, like anyone, has an ego and it got a good old bruising against Manny. Very tough to take.

    If he comes back he is not going to be able to fight at that level again. He could probably win a belt but I imagine Hatton's pride has been dashed and that just might not be enough to motivate him anymore. If that is the case then he probably should retire.

    Part of me would like him to comeback and go out on a win though. And to beat up Khan on the way would be a delight, but if it's going to be half hearted then there is no point.
