Quit Now Ricky!

[littlebif]

Never liked Colin Hart anyway! Why should Hatton quit he is still the best in the division and he still has the hunger.Plus he is linning up another shot at Mayweather which i think is a very bad idear that he will lose by ko in 6.But if you get 20m for the fight who can blame him.

Colin Hart laid into Naz after his loss also.

where is he from... Wigon?

His hair-hat is a shocker.

He layed into Naz before he lost too. Naz layed back into him mind.

Hahahaha i remember it was at the Wayne McCullough Press gathering he said right to his face.... "your a fool" hahahaha

very uncomftable for Colin never seen Naz that angry at anyone before

He is a fool though. Thing is, The Sun newspaper is aimed at the average idiot so i don't suppose he has to actually know that much about Boxing. So long as the article contains enough cliches for idiotic sports fans to repeat to their mates at work, everything will be alright.

This was nothing more then a rant by someone who could not come up with anything else of quality to write about. I really did not see anything but the obvious of what everyone else has seen in Hatton pointed out again. We all know Hatton has changed his style to a hit and hold that bores fans a bit. We all know that Hatton has taken his Ricky Fatton routine a bit too far and it has taken a bit of a toll on him. That is something that could happen to anyone though.

I am not really sure about why he mentioned Ray Leonard as a guy who slid down the track of disaster. Leonard had two or so fights past his best days when he should of stayed away. Those were the Terry Norris and Hector Camacho fights. It is not as the guy became a stepping stool for up coming prospects.

I take the whole thing with a grain of salt.

I think like me Colin fully expects Ricky to get his fat ass handed to him when one of the following prospects of Khan, Ortiz, Peterson or Gamboa reaches the world stage.

Better to retire now rather than get pasted by a unproven prospect in 2009.

I believe he should fight Paulie though, he can definitely win that fight and would probably beat any of the other current belt holders.

But as soon as some talent comes back to the division Hatton best quit and start his own chain of pubs.

I doubt Colin Hart even knows who Ortiz, Peterson and Gamboa are....

Maybe Hatton should fight them all now. Get em out of the way while he has a chance.

Quit now Ricky! | The Sun |HomePage|Sport|SunSport Columnists

Colin Hart of The sun is calling for Hatton to quit.

The article annoyed the hell out of me.

Thoughts?

We got Reds under the bed
We got lovely's nude and tanned
We got the wife of a mass murderer
And we only paid her ten grand
We got Samantha Fox we got lots of sport
We got scroungers full of greed
"You Scum" is the headline
For you and your kids to read

The Sun says The Sun says
We're gonna look after you
The Sun says The Sun says
So it must be true

We got talk we got Lady Di
We got rapists in the dock
And best of all we got John Blake
Who knows everything about Rock
So if you wanna know what's going on
And who's kissing who
It don't cost much for a jolly good read
And lots of pictures too

Gotcha Stick it up yer Turner
Bingo Win a Metro

He should quit he took loads of punches in that fight he leads with his face basically he used to jab his way in look for openings.Now he just does the old hook hold push them off hook hold push them off his defense is very leaky he looked like he had been in with Sam Peter at the end.He should hang up the gloves before he gets seriously hurt the skills have gone.

such an insightful, deep, well thought out peice of work there.

You ever thought about becoming a columnist for ring magazine

Didn't see much wrong with TysonBruno's post tbh. I feel the same pretty much.
I find it really hard to agree when Hatton fans consider him an 'exciting' fighter, when I've just watched Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor or Floyd Mayweather vs Jesus Chavez.
These guys really showed how inside fighting should be done and it was really entertaining, both going toe to toe on the inside with no holding at all. Short sharp punches. Unlike the really ugly and imo unentertaining garbage we've seen recently from Ricky Hatton. The Lazcano fight most rounds were fought with him tangling up Juans arms as though he were trying to break them! Just doesn't do it for me unfortunately.
Maybe his fans consider him getting hit too much exciting but I like to learn a little from watching boxing as well so yes I think Ricky has come to the end of the road. He has reached a very sudden plateau and just hasn't improved since the Tszyu fight. He's taken backward steps if anything.

I personally don't understand why Hatton should quit immediately. IMO, he's never been as good as some people think, but i enjoy watching him fight. I can't see him beating anyone relevant at 147, but if he could beat Paulie, and maybe Bradley, then he might get another huge payday shot at an Oscar, or Pac, or possibly Floyd, which would be a decent way to go out, regardless of the outcome. I don't agree that he's completely shot, and punchdrunk. If anything, he was just not as good as what some people thought.
