    He was only offering his advice on his past experience, he didn't say Hatton has to retire or he's going to die.

    If Hatton's team approaches him for tutelage offering him good money, there's a chance he may say yes.

    Maybe just to prove the Mayweather senior did it 'wrong':deal

    why would Roach waste even more time with another overrated British clubfighter?
    Wasting his time with Hatton.....Nobody can polish a turd, even a superb coach like Roach.

    WHAT A LOAD OF TOSH!

    Whoever wrote this is speaking absolute horse-****. Freddie Roach is a man of his word, of that there is no doubt. He stopped training Hopkins because he walked to the wrong corner a few times against Calzaghe. Roach always looks out for fighters taking punishment without neccesity due to his owns Parkinsons. Roach is one of those guys who speaks the truth, no bull**** and when he says things like "I love Ricky and his family but he should retire" he means that ****. I will be more surprised than anything if this announcement is made.

    Roach came out with the OAP lost in the ring stuff after he was dropped.

    Bradley would probably give Ricky a nasty beating I would rather see him retire than risk his health to satisfy people like you who cannot accept that Ricky Hatton isn`t as good as you thought.

    **** off you mentally ******ed tool, if you are incapable of making a positive contribution to a constructive debate just stay the **** out of it and let those of us with an IQ higher than our shoe size make that contribution.

    Come off it! Bradley couldn't give his own meat a nasty beating, he is a solid, workmanlike fighter with decent technique and a punch output. That's it. He is not a devastating puncher, a KO artist or proven as anything more than a beltholder at the moment.

    hes a decent fighter has heart an alright chin. Works away has good technique. A solid champion at the moment.

    Hell never be an ATG but he can become a solid champ. Hes looking to unify the division and what is he 23? still young to mature and develop i cansee him being adecent fighter in a bad division.

    Hatton isn't as good as I thought?

    He's beaten some of the world's best and fought ATGs so show some respect. Just because he lost to the two best fighters this decade doesn't make him a chump. Timothy Bradley is not Manny Pacquiao - he is more Juan Lazcano or Luis Collazo and he has belts to take.

    Hatton whupped Malignaggi after Floyd, he can come back from defeats.

    He took an awful knockout, but people make out he's out of Rocky IV and can't see anymore or summat. Hatton isn't decrepid - he just got KOd by a brutal puncher he was unable to defend against. Hatton is still Hatton and can work Bradley over, and I sincerely hope he attempts it.

    I am not saying Hatton is a chump I am saying he is not as good as many make him out to be.The ATG`s you say he has beat were well past their best and Hatton feasted on what was left of them.Hatton to date has never beaten a top class fighter while in their prime, he has beaten good fighters though I am not doubting that.

    Out of interest do you respect Trevor Berbick for beating one of the greatest fighters ever even tough he was years past his best?

    IMO Hatton would struggle with young hungry fighters who would like his name on their cv just like Tszyu and Castillo did.

    We've "done" the Ali vs Berbick/ Hatton vs Zoo comparision and it doesn't really hold up. Zoo was in good health and coming off an impressive KO win of his number 1 contender while Ali was showing the onset of Parkinsons and had had a one sided beating from Holmes.

    If you want to make a general point then FAR better comparisons to make would be McGuigans win over Pedroza and Straceys win over Napoles - British fighters who at their peak put in very good performances to beat great champions who, though past their primes, were still very dangerous fighters.

    But hey!! Why worry about being fair and accurate eh?
