As ive said a million times over...

45-2 with his only losses at the hands of the best fighters of our generation
31 years old
still able to fill out any arena in the united kingdom

Its only us brits talking about whether hatton should retire or not. If ricky was american none of the US guys on here would be discussing whether he should retire or not because they wouldnt give enough of a f*ck about one single fighter.

90% of people on here that want hatton to bow out so early in his career use the excuse...

"we dont want to see him get badly hurt"

This is boxing for fuck sake. Whether your starting your career or finishing it the whole time your getting hurt whether its by a fellow fighter, a sparring buddy or an insanely difficult training session.

Ricky hatton has a permenantly broken nose from it getting broke so many times via people smashing him in the face. Id say on that basis the prospect of getting in the ring with juan manuel marquez really isnt as scary to him as it would be you and i
