    Hatton has been exposed twice. Any fighter capable of following the gameplan put in place by Floyd and Pac can beat him.

    I'd still pick him over any of them but I'd really need to see him back in action.

    A ko like that can really crush your confidence

    Yeah thats the problem with boxing is once your weakness has been found every fighter will try to exploit it if you can't correct it.

    So yeah I can see a guy like Holt sitting on a counter hook the whole night until he gets one.

    If he could fix that one thing he could beat all of these guys.

    yeah especially a guy like Ricky. Honestly I think sometimes he's too downto earth/emotional for his own good. A raging bad ass like the guy in your avatar would say reconvince himself he's the ****ing man and comeback from a kO like that. But raging bad asses too often end up eating out of straws for the rest of their lives and I'd hate to see that happpen to Ricky. So I'm kinda thankful he's not that type. I only hope he retires.

    Yea and he did it at an advanced age to beat up on Barkley wh noone thought he could.
    Hatton may be best off calling it goodbye he's had a great career millions of fans but I wouldn't mind seeing him in a farewell fight against a gimme type fight back with all his hometown fans.

    Yeah thats what I was getting at. So but yeah I'd like to see him knock the **** of an older resonable popular punching bag in Manchester for his fans and then call it a career.
