Hatton DENIES quit rumours

[Kirkland Laing]

You can't blame Sky Sports when they have Hatton on the phone saying he isn't going to retire. I really hope he does, it's just total foolishness if he does fight again. I can see him wanting to promote a massive event in Manchester and put all his fighters on the card, it obviously makes business sense, but he's never going to be what he was and would be doing it for all the wrong reasons. And he'd be risking his health too. This is what he looked like after fighting feather-fisted Juan Lazcano a couple of years and 10 000 pints ago :




So hopefully he just puts his feet up and has a beer instead of risking his health.

Hatton should ideally have a warm up preferably against a Gavin Rees type opponent, then take on JMM. He would stand a better chance of winning. He probably will not do that so it is a big risk to fight anyone after the shocking and brutal KO by Pac man.

Not sure if it is smart for him to keep fighting,,,,If anything forget ring style and effects it can have on a career...His lifestyle out of the ring has done him more harm then good....You can't keep shedding 40-50 lbs per fight...that alone will hurt you.....

Ricky has made some money..he has given some very entertaining moments and will probably enter the hall so call it a day

I would prefer this too. A tune up to gauge whether his heart is really in it and to see if his tools are still effective enough in front of an audience. Coming back hard might be a mistake. This is his longest break and coming off one of the worst KO's in recent memory. I would urge for caution, but it's probably not going to happen.
