    Hatton vs Mosley or Cotto make it happen! When Pac beats Cotto these two can finish unsettled business.

    he does get himselfe into shape for fights though..maybe he should be fighting at ww 147.. maybe he needs to get comfortable there more then a few fights.

    Id pay £100 on PPV to watch Hatton vs Shane or Cotto. Boy would that be fun.

    Think the Hatton bashing is somewhat ludicrous but then again every boxer is subjected to it on ESB.

    Even between Tszyu and Castillo Maussa, Urango and Collaza were all world title holders.
    The way some people portray Hatton as some kind of journeyman is absurd.

    This excuse must stop!!

    Look at all the other opponents PBF and Pac have had, and show me one who:

    1. Was the linear champ at their weight when they fought
    2. Performed as badly as Hatton did against them i.e. KOd in 10 and KOd in 2

    No. but Ricky could could beat Margarito (with out plaster). The guy is over-rated.

    i agree..i hope he comes back..i hope he dont go out on this note. even the best fighters have lost..the real good ones come back from losses.. shake it off ricky $hit happens, a few good wins and your back on track.

    Hmm whether or not he comes back is a little besides the point. If he comes back I dont think he is adding to his achievements unless he beats a real top level boxer.

    He takes a lot of stick though.

    I'd of like to see the fighter Hatton could of been if he looked after himself and lived like an athlete between fights.

    We'll never know if he could of went that one step further, and been a player on the truely elite level. Don't get me wrong, Hatton was a world level fighter, but one who just couldn't climb the final step of the ladder to greatness.

    I do think the manner of the loss to Pac has truely finished Hatton (Mayweather went a long way to doing it too). I fail to see what coming back will achieve for him. He's a legend for what he's brought to the sport outwith the ring, a hugely popular and wealthy man. Why risk tainting it all to achieve things you already have achieved. Could Hatton fight and win a world title again? probably... Will it add anything to his rep? Not really.
