Did Pacquiao's KO punch heavily affected Hatton's brain?

    Ricky Hatton should retire from boxing and be the next Richard Simmons lol. I think it's rather amazing that he is actually able to make 140lbs. The guy definitely gets motivated when the time calls.

    Some times I hate this forum, hence I have very few posts, the hate is immense! Hatton brought boxing back to the UK - like it or not. The fire isn't in his belly any more, fair play!!!!! The only way to get that back is one more crack at Mayweather - whats wrong with that? Money already said its not going to happen, Hatton is making money promoting... so wheres the hate coming from?

    These guys run the miles, hit the bags, lace the gloves up and take the punishment for the keyboard warriors (sorry boxing fans) to knock them.

    No matter what peoples opinion of a fighter, I don;t understand the mocking!!!!!

    All boxers are about the money. Any that say different are lying.

    Rediculous. Like Hatton was never nothing. Like he aint Move up in Weight to fight #1 P4P AND CALLED HIM OUT! like he aint Beat Paulie to fight Pac! Like he didnt go 30-40 fights undefeated. Only 2 Losses. Im not a big hatton fan but I respect these guys.

    He doesn't want to fight new opponents(Khan, etc.) because it will only serve to devalue(even more) his legacy as an elite fighter. Right now, even though Kahn appears to be a very good fighter, he(Kahn) can't really be considered an elite fighter. If Hatton were to lose to him...?

    He really has nothing to lose in a rematch with May, but every thing to gain, including a very, very good payday. Potentially(?) his biggest ever.

    There's no demand for a rematch with May, nor is there a need. Hatton was decisively beaten. He's just not in Mayweather's class.

    Of course he wants to fight Floyd. The big money.

    But what chance does he have? He takes terrible care of himself, always has, really.

    (I'm waiting for at least one person to say "Floyd is ducking Ricky because he knows he'll get KTFO this time. Cortez lost it for Hatton.")

  10. At least he has a little sense - he isn't calling out Pacquiao for a rematch.

    Hatton will still get his ass handed to him though.... probably quicker, no denying he serverely underated though, its BS how he's swept aside now.... Few ****s on here, wouldn't know boxing if it punched them in the face.

    Hatton should do it -- easy money for Ricky

    He'd be ******ED not to do a rematch....
