    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.

    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 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

    True but Hatton's was only like 3.5 years and he only had 2 losses to Conn's 6.

    If Hatton had believed in himself and persevered maybe he could've gone onto become an ATG and have his ''I nearly beat Joe Louis'' moment too

    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.

    To call him a talentless bum with a name would be harsh but also pretty accurate
