    I don't even think it's declining. He's just fought guys who don't let him off the hook when he's hurt. Magee, Tackie, Rios and Phillips all hurt him just as much as Lazcano did. Just nobody ever really mentions it. He's always had an average chin imo. It just got over-rated because Tszyu never hurt him.
    You make a good point actually. Collazo hurt him also and almost took him out.

    I think Hatton showed a very good chin in the Collazo fight. While Collazo is not a hard puncher, he was tattooing Hatton all night and only managed to hurt him in the 12th round.

    I see it the other way around. Collazo isn't a hard puncher and he was able to rattle Hatton. If a guy's punches aren't hard you should be able to shake them off and keep coming. Especially considering Ricky made a career of doing just that. Maybe Collazo was the beginning of the end?

    I think the Collazo fight was definitely the beginning of the end for Hatton, I've said so on numerous occasions. Regarding your other point, Collazo was the biggest fighter Hatton had ever faced and regardless of whether or not he is a big puncher at 147, he still has some pop and displayed his sharpness and accuracy in the Hatton fight. He peppered Hatton all night long and was only able to hurt him at the end of the fight with a great combination. Given the circumstances, I don't think Hatton displayed a weak chin at all in the Collazo fight, but I do think the punishment he absorbed had a lingering, long-term effect on him as a fighter.

    Unless Hatton's comeback includes Dave Paris it won't be successful. Hatton is done. But with his God Father Paris as the 3rd man in the ring he has a chance.

    I wanted to see Hatton retire,but i dont really blame him for considering a comeback fight to retire on a high.I menetioned that he would fight Marquez months ago after he got smashed by manny.Marquez will be a real test for hatton to see if he has the desire to fight real come forward fighter.And like Miles mentioned,maybe fight Khan and then retire if he loses that.

    Hatton is an overdue fighter. Thanks for the memories. He took out one of my favorite boxer, Tszyu.

    I think Collazo put him down earlier on the fight but it was ruled a slip. I'm pretty sure he was hurt around the 8th. Hatton was out on his feet in the 12th. Collazo just couldn't finish him.

    I guess now is as good of a time as ever to fight Witter, who hasn't exactly looked stellar himself lately. Hatton/JMM could be a very exciting fight. I think the best thing Hatton could do is just pressure, pressure, pressure like his old self. Otherwise he runs the risk of getting caught between styles, which could make for a very short night against a counter puncher like JMM.

    Witter is out with a cruciate ligament injury, plus Hatton hates enough not to give him a shot, plus he does not want to lose to a Brit, plus.....

    How about the rematch he promised Collazo then. Those are the only two fights that have elements left undone.

    Collazo and Witter

    ...plus Collazo is a southpaw, plus Hatton is out of his depth as a welterweight....
