Hatton Calls Quits on Career

[Hornfinger]

I think what Hornfinger meant was - nobody left that Hatton can be reasonably sure of beating...

Still upset that he retired Tszyu ay hahahahaha

Old kostya was reasonably sure he was going to win that wasn't he?

Anyway just for lyle I'd say.... maybe alexander and bradley would beat hatton.... now. Ricky isn't what he was, and that's why I don't think he should box again. will Bradley and Alexander earn 45 million and fight the two top pound for pound fighters in the world when they're in their primes, and do the pay per view numbers that hatton did during their careers still remains to be seen.....

Smart man.Imagine he'll bank quite well in endorsements with less chance of serious concussions.Great personality should keep him in the spotlight.

Ha... no mate, got over that one a long time ago. I really like Ricky, but can't help but feel his time at the top was far too short.

I thought Hatton would go on to have a glittering LONG career, but wasn't aware of how ill-disciplined he was between fights, which I think most of us on here agree has contributed to how he has aged as a fighter...

Tszyu and a shopworn Castillo are his great wins, I think he could have done more.

And now I don't see the point in him coming back to beat a Lazcano or Tackie-class fighter just to retire with a 'w' - I can't see the point. And IMO an Alexander/Bradley or Marquez would be a little too much for him given how far he's slipped.
