Hatton will fight again it seems.

Too be honest i'd hate to see Khan-Hatton. At this stage i think Khan bludgens him. I don't think Hatton deserves that, plus i couldn't stand how Khan talked about MAB after he beat him - he was saying nice things but at the same time being UNBELIEVABLY patronising.

Forgive me if you've addressed this later, but I'm responding on my first run through this thread. But.....

You think Hatton doesn't deserved to get bludgeoned at this stage? Did you think that Kostya deserved to be literally bludgeoned by Hatton at that stage of his career? I say its karma!

No i didn't think Kostya deserved to be bludgeoned. I don't think any fighter does. So Hatton getting battered now would be karma? Karma for what? I don't think he commited a crime by beating KT.
Also, going into the fight Kostya was in good form, and hadn't really shown much sign of deteriation. The same cannot be said for Hatton. But regardless, i don't see how Hatton deserves the 'karma' of taking a beating just because he beat KT.

I was speaking more from the perspective of my lack of respect for the tactics that Hatton was allowed to use for the majority of his career.

In my original post I never said he "deserved" anything. I simply asked if KT deserved what he got. On the contrary, I think Hatton has gotten more than he deserved.

I don't want Hatton to be hurt, nor do I want him to fight again. But if he decides to and gets mugged/rough-housed into submission by a younger fighter, then clearly this an example of karma.

But your first post implied somehow that as i don't think Hatton deserves to get bludgened by the likes of Khan, i thought KT did deserve it.
In fact, i'm not saying Hatton is any different to any other boxer, its always sad to see a proud champion beaten into retirement, especially by an inferior boxer. But there are a couple of differences between the KT situation and the Hatton one. Firstly, Kostya had good form going into the Hatton fight whilst Hatton doesn't have good form going into a possible Khan fight. Secondly, Hatton is a better fighter than Khan. So Hatton was a more worthy final opponent for Kostya than Khan would be for Hatton.
