if this is true then i am very dissappointed in ricky. i am a massive hatton but this would be dissapointing because one of my main reasons for following him is my admiration at his sheer courage and tenacity. In some ways I would prefer to see Ricky square up and possibly get his arse pounded, just cos it shows what a warrior he is. It takes a true warrior to take a fight that they know is going to be tough to win and still step through the ropes.

I am inclined to believe/hope this is rumour or lies and would expect a response from the hatton camp.
