Farewell Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton.... Or Maybe Not..

Knew he never really would come back. Farewell to Ricky.

 

good decision, thanks for the memories ricky, a few fighters would do well to take a leaf out of your book with regards to career decisions! a true modern day great,a warrior and quite simply a good lad! boxing is a duller place without u,cheers.

 

I saw a recent video of him juming around the gym with some boxing gloves on and i swear he looked like Kirby. I don't see how he was ever gonna get into fighting shape.

 

Well, good for him. He should be retiring.

 

:roflUr messed up for saying that and you know it! But on a serious part I too did not see him getting back in shape.

 

im gutted to be honest

 

I would have liked to have seen him in one last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in England, but this is probably for the best. Good for him, knowing when it's time to go.

On another note, let's hope he doesn't die of heart failure in the next five years.

 

good on ya ricky. i loved you til the end. you got nothing to be ashamed of

 

damn, I thought he had maybe one more in him, going out with a victory over a decent opponent woulda been nice but know one knows his body better than him and if he thinks he ain't got it left then he ain't got it left. thanks for the memories, a true fan favorite warrior.

 

props and good luck in whatever venture ricky decides on...tough son of a *****...i wish we would have got to see him evolve his style like we were seeing in 24/7. no shame in the game when you lose to manny and floyd. He was an interesting character. perhaps he can still have things to do in the world of boxing.. announcing?

 

you need to change the first two words of this of this thread name to good riddens

 

I'm pretty surprised by this, he kept saying he didn't want everyone's last memory of him in a boxing ring being KO'd in the 2nd round. Maybe it was on doctors orders.

 

your not funny, so dont try.

 

A pleasurable style to watch. Gave some good fights I respect his decision
