Hatton will fight again it seems.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but Hatton did not lose to Pacquiao because of his gameplan. I've seen a couple of people saying this and it simply is not ture. He lost because he is an inferior fighter. There's no shame in that, but implying that he lost because of the way he approached the fight is absurd and it takes away from the magnitude of Pacquaio's victory. If Hatton had come out boxing and moving, he still would have got knocked out.

I agree with what you are saying and I was one who blamed his gameplan. I personally should have said it ended in the fashion and time it did because of his gameplan. I think that the overall result would have been the same in hindsight but rushing in all balls to the wall just brought the end a lot earlier than if he had tried to be smart.
I gave Pac props at the time and think he is a great fighter but also think Ricky did himself no favours and made Pac look even better on the night.
