He is still an exciting fighter…one that the public wants to watch..there’s no shame in losing to the 2 best fighters in the world!

If he can improve, so much the better , if not he will continue to pile up those loses in the future.

Just a piece of advise though..why not train under Roach? He can help you.

All of you who ridicule Hatton now will regret later. He lost twice only from no.1 P4P fighters. He can easily run over for other fighters. He may even a chance for a Mayweather II. ( He dearly wanted it before Pac’s fight).

Let the guy rest for a while to reflect the mistakes he had done during the fight with Pacquiao. He will be back with a vengeange.

He will face Bradley for another belt. Then he will clean up the division. A fight with Valero, Marquez, and Mayweather II is not impossible.

hatton owes it to his fans at least 2 more fights. the way he has stayed away from the press and not yet decided on his future shows a little bit of disrespect to the thousands of fans that have paid to see many of his fights over the years. nobody knows what he is going to do but i think it will be a sad end to hattons carreer if he quits now. a boxer doesnt need to be p4p number 1 to be a ring legend. carry on ricky if you love boxing and let us all watch you win many more fights against good apponents that you could still fight. cotto,mosley,kahn,marquez. there all big fights which you could win.

Mat Porter you must be Hattons`Girl friend,you are very quick to call anyone who criticize Hatton an idiot or moron,but this is supposed to be a free world everyone is entitled to their opinion.If floyd Mayweather was knocked out like he (hatton) was, you would be the first to say he was a bum.The truth is Hatton called out both Floyd(after his fight against a washed up castilio) and Pac man . Leading up to those fights There Was hatton evrytime you read a paper with a lot to say,there are few fighters with more to say than Hatton,but i have noticed he only has that much to say when he is infront 10 tusen of his fans.I remember when they were doing the tour of America Before their fight,Mayweather was in his face somthing rotten,but this guy was like a deaf mute.But as soon as they landed in Manchester,you could`nt keep his mouth shut(even swearing and using the F word). At the weigh-in in front of thousands of beer-drinking football fans there he was again swearing and running up his mouth again.After floyd knocked him out(and Floyd don`nt really knock anyone out like that,Neither does Pac),He was admitting he lost to the better man.But as soon as he got back in Blighty among his drinking pals, the excuses started.Add that to the fact that he was definitely afraid to fight Witter (the quitter),who by the way challenge him directly after Hatton`s fight with Saxton(when Hatton was`nt even champion yet).That is on Youtube And i say the guy is an overated coward.

Good article balance and fair.In my openion only even do he is still young he should retire and better use his money on promotion and he will not get hurt.

it all depends where he fights i think he can still make some money in england winnig or losing dosent mater to his co nationals. he cant make it 140 anymore he doesnt have the skills to fight the top welterwieghts just fieght low quality oponents in england becouse after his last fight i dont think anyone outside of england would pay to see him headline a boxing promotion
