amir khan told ricky hatton to "retire and chill out"

[Tysonbruno]

Look my main point is in all this love him or hate him i thought in the Pacquiao fight he had nothing left he was going over so easy yes he was a little over anxious but the last knockdown was devastating i just wouldn't want to see that again. I felt so sorry for him and concerned i thought something terrible could have happened the way his eyes rolled around his mouth sloping on one side him twitching and gasping for air just wouldn't want to see that again so i would have preferred him to walk away but many fighters don't . I have made harsh comments about Hattons career in the past but the facts are he has only got 2 losses in 47 fights and they have come against 2 Number 1 P4P fighters so why risk losing to a lesser fighter so im not slagging him off just stating a few facts had he not fought Paulie and fought Mayweather,Lazcano then Pacquiao would you say he was done now?? and do you want to see him knocked out like that again?? because i don't i don't want to see any fighter in that state love or hate them.

If Hatton comes back and looks good and gets the win against a decent opponent i wanna see him take a few shots to see if he has any punch resistance left! If he has i can see him taking on Khan and i would give him a good chance of beating him.Khan is very fast on his feet and with his hands but fighters can get close to him and hit him he isnt hard to hit.Khan isnt a southpaw with will help Hatton alot cause he is crap against them.

In the build up to the Pac fight he says he over trained but he also says he was getting beat up by sparing partners which is very worry and a big sign that he is past his best imo.He strugles with southpaws but by the end of his training he should of been used to them.

[Tysonbruno]

My worry is that he does well in his next fight and gets a good win because then he will want another fight then if he loses again were back to square one and nobody wants to see Khan beat him.

Over-trained is an understatement. He was clinically diagnosed with exhaustion 3 weeks before the fight. A 15 mile run in the morning in the hills, 12 rounds of sparring in the afternoon, and 10 miles on the treadmill at night. Also, Lee, Matthew and Ray told me that Floyd Snr looked like he was trying to break Rick.

I remember an incident with the medicine ball where Floyd Snr was throwing it very hard into the pit of Rick's stomach. Apparently Rick was in agony, and Lee pulled Rick out of that exercise, and a few sparring sessions when he was getting battered. This pissed off Floyd Snr and their friendship was severely strained through it. Rick told me that before the fight, he knew he only had 4 rounds in him so he tried to jump on Manny. The rest is history. Like I said before, GBP tried to pull the fight with 3 weeks to go, thats fact.

I'm sure Mayweather snr is on video blaming extra training happening when he wasn't around as one of the reasons for the poor showing?

Maybe to you, to the rest of us it's just conjecture & all part of the tried & tested Ricky Hatton 'blame it on the flu/ref/former trainer' patent.

And you know better do you ?

I give you some inside information and you throw it back in my face. It is a fact, and you dont know either way, so until you do, button it.

In my opinion Rick would have been beaten in his prime by that Manny. It just would have been a more competative fight.

Little bit tetchy aren't we. I never said I know better, but you don't get to become the oracle of all opinions on Hatton just because you know him.

You may say something as a fact, but if someone who knew Floyd Mayweather came in here & said it was a fact that someone in Manny's team sent those emails asking about if he failed a drugs test, would you automatically believe him or her?

I may agree with your last point about it being a more competitive fight, but it doesn't change the fact that what you say remains can just come off as Team Hatton spin to some of us.

If you've seen it with your own eyes, then fair enough, why would you give a fuck what people on some internet site say about it

I've just listened to your type before Jez, and my patience is thin after 10 years of it. It was the same crap after the Witter missing gates post, it was meant to be a bit of fun, that not many people knew about, but I found your 'hating' post after it pathetic, hence the reason I didnt reply.

It someone came on here, whom I respected and valued their opinion, and they told me something about another fighter then I would believe it. If you choose not to, without any evidence to the contrary, then so be it. There are Hatton fans on here that will be appreciative of any inside information they can get. And I'm only to happy give it, good or bad.

Ummm, perhaps Hatton's camp were indeed trying to get him killed(and regardless of whether that was the case), your WAY off here bud. A 15 mile run in the morning, 12 rounds of sparring, than another 10 miles at night? Are you just pulling that out of your arse, and do you have ANY idea how ridiculous it would be? No fighter runs 15 miles in one stint at any point in their training, let alone someone who is five foot six with Hatton's build. I wouldn't doubt he over trained, but what you just said amounts to complete lunacy, it wouldn't even be plausible for any fighter in their right mind to do that on any given day.

This obviously wasnt everyday but it's true. Lee Beard pulled Rick out of sparring after 6 rounds and 7 rounds respectively after he was getting owned. I'm sure it was Tim Coleman. What Ricky went through in that camp bordered lunacy. Like I said in another post, it was Shane's doctor that diagnosed him with exhaustion 3 weeks prior. Ricky was then given 5 days rest. He came back and looked much better in sparring, but by that time I guess the damage was already done.

And where are you getting no fighter jogs 15 mile in a training session ?? Rick ran more than that in his roadwork for the Tszyu fight, and that was shown on t.v.

Edit - Just checked, it was 10-12 miles in the morning, my error.

Where am I getting it from?.15 miles That's well over a half marathon, to run that every day would be detrimental to ANYTHING besides just that, running long distance. No athletes besides runnners themselves would get anywhere near that with any regularity, anyone could tell you that.
