The difference with Hatton was that all the Alcohol and drug abuse, plus weight ballooning had took it's toll, he as still young, but he looked much older.Controversial wrote:I always thought Ricky Hatton's decision to make a comeback was a big mistake, unfortunately I was proved right and he ending up getting stopped. At least for Hatton he has learnt he doesn't have it anymore and will won't see him in the ring again (hopefully). For Hatton that loss was his calling card, many others will make excuses for defeats and their ego won't let them believe they are past it (Holyfield was a prime example).
Too many fans are quite selfish in wanting to see their favourite fighter back in the ring, invariably they are never the same and all it does is damage their record and reputation.
