Ricky Hatton?

Post by Rocky Balboa »

I make the call of saying I do not think Ricky will box again! There has been much speculation about a possible Khan-Hatton bout, but Ricky doesn't seem too interested, even saying he hasn't bene thinking about a Khan fight!

Ricky has made plenty of money, I would be amazed if he wasn't financially stable for the rest of his life!

I could be wrong, but I don't think we will see fighting again!

Thoughts?

He is resisting the Khan fight because he is not calling the shots - he will be the challenger if they were ever to fight - there are ego's at play here and they wil not want Mr W arren calling the shots.

In addition - Ricky should not fight again - he doesn't need and as I have said on many occasions he should be proud of what he has achieved - on the other side of the coin - lets face it when I started that other thread concerning "Hatton and cakes" he isn't exactly taking the sport seriously nowadays is he?

Ricky has done bloody well for himself - he should be pleased and it seems he will be kept busy running his promotional company!!

What makes you say that?

The fact that in his last fight he was knocked clean out by a man widely recognised as one of the very best in the world?

To be honest hatton has been on a steady decline for a while now,he struggled badly with lazcano,prior to that collazo gave him a bit of a beating and lets face it his 2 ko's were against naturally much smaller men,he's easy to hit now,has no head movement or lateral movement and will struggle badly to make 10 stone again simply because he is getting older

I think Hatton should call it a day, and I think HE thinks he should call it a day. I might be wrong but I think the only reason this decision hasn't already been made is the MANNER of those Mayweater/Pacquiao losses. There is no shame in getting beat by either, but truth be told, he gave them both very, very easy nights and I think thats whats REALLY gutted him. Must be hard to leave it like that.

I believe he should retire he has nothing to prove and won't add anything tohis legacy at this point.

I think he will continue to fight and will fight Khan, and I would be very surpised if this didn't happen.
