He was shite because he was reckless and ran In trying to steamroll Callazo without any defence.
One fight doesn't say It's the weight, didn't Benn need a few before he though he was ok at 12stone?
Hatton was also heavier than Luiz on the night too and only makes 10 stone because he dehydrates like most fighters so how can he be naturally 10 stone when he goes Into the ring at 11st 4?

god there's a sickly desperation to undermine anything threatening the status of one joe calzaghe.

He went up in weight, wasn't as effective at welter, still beat Collazo (just) and came down again....
Bad day at the office or whatever, but he still won....

They all beat him.
I think RH retires the 1st loss he gets.

I suspect the same, but I believe it would depend on the manner of defeat, if he lost a close decision against any of those men, I think he would go for a rematch, if he was beaten comprehensively or bashed up, then I think Ricky might well call it a day.
I think that once Hatton's desire starts to wane, he will jack it in. He's got two more years when he should be at his peak, let us hope he makes the best of it, but let's not forget, he's already exceeded most people's expectations of him coming up.

I think Hatton would take Cotto and lose to the other two, they'd box his head off.
Cotto v Hatton, I'd love to see that.

I didn't doubt he won as I had It 114 113 to Hatton thanks to his 1st round knockdown.
But he lacked defence against a southpaw and relied on workrate too much, that was his problem.

It's a lesson learned, and I agree that his lifestyle outside the ring will catch up with him soon, especially if he carries on past 30....
