Things in the Hatton camp are apparently far from good in regards to the relationship with his management team.

So should he make a comeback or not, and if so where does he go with his career ?


I have a good feeling what most will say on here, but what the heck lets hear it anyway
I'm not sure he's going to come back now. If I was him I think I'd be tempted to have one last farewell fight against an OK fighter in Manchester MEN arena. Don't know how he's going to shift 3 stones of lard though and not sure he now has the motivation.
Fighting Amir Khan now would be a bad move. A couple of years ago I'd have taken Hatton over Khan - now I think Amir would be a strong favourite.
I don't mind if Ricky retires now - I'd enjoy watching him fight again but I'd hate to see him getting KO'd by fighters he'd have destroyed before.

There does seem to be a bit of self-delusion going on with Hatton these days though. I saw him say in an interview on TV a while ago that he was winning the 2nd round against Pacman before he got sparked. He mustn't have watched the tape back (and I don't blame him!)
