Hatton will fight again it seems.

I hope not. I have this feeling that the first time he gets hit flush (no matter from whom), it will be the end. Why chance it? For God's sakes Ricky, stop--if not for yourself, for your family and fans. Pugilistica dementia has no conscience, mate. Ask Bobby Chacon, the Quarry's, Jimmy Young, Willie Pep, Aaron Pryor, and way too many others who are no longer with us or are in bad shape.

Have the feeling he'll end up with Juan Diaz.Not sure where he will be mentally and physically but wouldn't mind he and Bradley going at it.

A much better chance with Diaz. Bradley is peaking and is way too fit and fast for him IMO.

Diaz may be done. If Ricky could cut him early, he might have a decent chance of mugging him, but I just don't see how he can come back after having been concussed the way he was from Manny.

Think your right about a Bradley fight.Two guys going in opposite directions.Diaz/Hatton has the style not to mention promotional attraction,think GB really wants it.Both guys sliding fast.Diaz not a big puncher but he wobbled Marquez and Paulie off lefthooks.Could be bad news for Hatton.

he fight a couple of the lesser fighters to start with and stay at 140lb

He'll beat Diaz if they fight, then fight someone who's not a light-punching, natural 135'er and get sparked in a big way. I'd love to see Khan beat him just to watch this forum implode.

He shouldn't in my opinion. But if he does, make it a bum or 2 just to say goodbye to the fans. What's the sense in having a good long career if you can't remember it.

You gotta be kidding. Juan Diaz would be worse for Hatton than Bradley. With Bradley it would be over quick, the damage relatively minimal. Diaz is not a one-punch KOer, he would pound Hatton over the course of many rounds until Hatton retired on his stool or God forbid, it went to a very lopsided decision. Diaz would do a lot more damage because he can't knock Hatton out with one punch like Bradley would.

For what its worth im never one to post a friend of a friend has told me etc as i find these types of posts tedious

But a very VERY good pal of mine who trains in rickys gym informed me the other day when i asked about ricky that he is now in proper pre fight training and has even been spotted hitting punchbags for the 1st time since the pac loss

Can assure anyone not in the know that ricky is planning a comeback sometime next year

I saw this posted the other day on the Hatton forum. You barely notice Matthew Hatton because of the noisy git hitting the bag behind him.

Don't know about that ??It looks like Hatton is jumping to Cruiserweight soon so it may not matter.

No telling what,if anything,Hatton has left coming off of a brutal KO like that against Pac.But if he had to choose between a Bradley and a Diaz,IF he continues and has anything left in the tank....Hatton stands a better chance with Diaz who looks a bit on the slide and is only 1 fight in at 140....a lose.Where as I think Bradley drives Hatton like a nail in short order!

Yeah, i have the same feeling. To be honest i had it after the Mayweather fight, then the Lazcano (Hatton was SO close to getting sparked in that) fight made me sure he'd go next time he was hit by a guy with a decent dig. So whilst i enjoyed his performance vs Mallinaggi fight it didn't answer the BIG question. Lo and behold, the next time he fights a guy with a decent dig...BANG! he's gone. I fear that would be repeated VS Khan or Diaz.
