Can Ricky Hatton salvage his career ?

[littlebif]

Salvage his career He has had a good career but its near the end there is no shame in losing to 2of the best boxers on the planet!

I dont think he deserves to be treated like he has been after the defeat to Manny imo.

[Master]

He will want to come back with a victory and as littlebif said he has nothing else to prove.

[Saddo]

agree his career was ok for a uk fighter really..... his legacy on the other hand is a different matter

if his crack at promotion goes well he won't fight on... thats why i think hatton khan is on the card$

My prediction....

Ricky Hatton is the new Naseem Hamed, so this board will every so often be littered with the "Hatton Comeback" threads which will NEVER be true.

Ricky is retired, FACT

When Khan moved up to 140 everyone was saying it was to get a Hatton fight eventually. I thought no way he wants to risk losing against another Brit and definitely not against Warren, he can make the same money fighting somebody like JMM and if he loses it's not like losing to Khan, history showing Khan was the better fighter.

I thought he'd lose on points to Pacman and then maybe fight a tomato can then fight JMM, but after he got splattered I thought well maybe Khan is the biggest money fight left, he'll grab it. But then I read an interview with GBP's matchmaker that makes me think that if he does fight again it'll be JMM. It's an easy fight to make if JMM loses to Floyd and it'll sell in Britain almost as well as a Khan fight would. If Hatton loses he hasn't got to go through the rest of his life knowing (and the british public knowing) a guy from up the road beat him and that he only lost to guys with a legitimate pound for pound claim. So I think if he does fight again it'll be JMM.

Ricky will get stomped in that fight too; though I'd love to see it{not him getting stomped mind you; just the fight made} JMM starts hitting him with 3-4 punch combos and Ricky will fold up and get put to sleep again.


No....his career in the ring got finished when that left hook Manny blasted him with sent him into Disneyland. Actually that 1st loss he took shook him to the core, but Manny destroyed the old Hatton we knew; he'll be gunshy now IMO.

The scene is being set that all Ricky has left in his dream boat is paydays.

I think Ricky has to beat someone up pretty convincingly before a big money fight can be made with Khan as long as Khan keeps winning and Ricky makes good showings or wins against big names like a matchup with Witter, Holt or even Campbell and a better matchup against an undefeated Bradly would really stir things up. If Campbell were to get by Bradley why not entice Campbell to fight in the UK?

I thought Ricky had more pride and by now would be looking to climb back into the ring. So perhaps he is done? I had thought he'd have his mind fixed about who he is as a fighter after what has happened to him but it's taking him too long so... I just don't get it.
