Remembering standing in the middle of a packed out vegas strip belting out a hatton chant and wondering if there truly is a single person in not just the sporting world but across the globe who can truly bring this kind of excitement and passion with them?

Not for all your mayweathers, mosleys, calzaghes and klitschkos can you get or create such anticipation and intrigue as a ricky hatton

There is no need for him to come back really, his latest loss makes it very difficult to comeback and be a major player again, hes to old and been in to many wars to make a serious comeback to the top and add to that he looks pretty shot to me.

Stay retired.

You not updated your sig yet Hammer
30 years old is now considered too old??

Your supposed to be hitting your prime at that age not calling it a day. So he got knocked out by manny pacquiao and floyd mayweather. 2 of the very best around and you could quite easily argue that ricky has already fought his 2 hardest fights and should still be able to retire as world champion.

Fact is ricky hatton pulls in fans all over the world. It would be a crying shame if someone so young decided to pack it in just because of 2 defeats!!


PS:He won the WBA at welter and not light welter!
