Campell Hatton retires

Expect to see him on the misfits circuit in the coming years making millions.

 

Why not stick him in with Aadam Hamed (Naseem Hamed's son) would make a decent gimmick fight

 

Too much hate. At least he tried. And mentally he was way tougher than other sons of rich and famous people.

 

I liked that guy. It's true that when I watched his debut I made some fun of him, but later on when I saw him tryhard-ing I just watched his fights with interest to see if he could improve. He improved, nevertheless he is quite limited. He tried anyway, he didnt do it as bad as people like to say. Not champion material, but it doesnt matter

 

Credit for having the balls to give it a crack and smart enough to know his limits.

 

Your health, youth and giving yourself time to forge a career or skills to earn a living outside of boxing far outweigh his earning potential in the sport so it's the right move.

 

Yeah, but Conn was old school. Probably had those 16 fights inside a 2 year period.

 

I'd say one year, if you push me.


I've checked in boxrec. 1 year and 3 months, from 1934-07-20 to 1935-10-07. They were made of a different material

 

I remember before his debut they created a montage on Dazn for him and Eddie was was in it saying “If you loved Ricky Hatton, you’re gonna absolutely love Campbell Hatton” with a smirk on his face like he’s got something good on his hands lol

 

Perhaps. Hope everything is good. Very odd for him to retire so young.

 

I like Campbell but he never had the makings of a varsity athlete

 

There's now a vacant slot in the P4P top 10

 

The early retirement also shows that his heart was not really in it.
But yea, I agree. He wanted to do what his dad did, put in the work, and walked away at the right moment. I respect him for that.
