    i think hatton should retire and enjoy his earnings. However i still think hatton bullys most if not all at 140, (apart from p4p elite) thought it before the weekend and still do

    only question mark is if his punch resistance is completely shot after a career lightweight (lazcano) had him buzzed

    so what about hatton having one last hurrah against prescott, Prescott is slow, wild and punches more wide then hatton, OK he punches hard but hasn't got the timing, hand speed or skills hatton struggles with

    i think hatton knocks him out or beats him in a better manner then he did Urango, this would do well at the gate as prescott is known as the man who KO'd Khan and a great way to go out if he's to cotinue beating an unbeaten fighter.

    errrrrmmmmm does Manny Pac really hit that hard at 140.

    Amir Khan, Junior Witter would both smash Ricky Hatton to bits.

    I hope Junior Witter calls the shitbag out..!

    Considering Toledo, whp was starched in three rounds by Soto, gave Prescott fits, I think Hatton would stop him in six.

    I fear Hatton's punch resistance has gone though, however he made it worse by walking onto shots.

    Prescott would attack him early, if Hatton could withstand that it'd be no harder a fight than Maussa.

    But Hatton when he fought Maussa was fresher, stronger and less battleworn then he is is now.

    no timing?

    thats one thing Prescotts got is good timing and precision, he just ain't got that much power.. and no defense

    he timed khan quality, he couldn't have timed him and set himself up any better

    "Beats him in a similar manner to Urango"

    And why would he want that exactly...? That was a life and death struggle for Hatton. He got hurt to the body and then had to hang on by holding Urango. Not exactly what he needs.

    Hatton did he best to try and inpregnate Urango.

    People aren't actually suggesting Amir Khan should fight Hatton are they? Because shot or not Ricky would murderlise Khan, and I don't really want to see that.
