    I don't think he is going to retire, reading the reports coming out of camp Hatton.....That being said, I only want to see him take on top guys....and I think he has deserved to take on top guys....but for me there is only 2 names I think he should fight.....Bradley is my first choice or Marquez.

    I think Bradley's style is tailor-made for Ricky....Bradley likes to fight inside, and I think Hatton school's him on the inside for 12 rounds to get a comfortable decsion win, gives him a great send off, and once again out does Witter.

    Marquez is my second choice just because he is an elite guy, and I give Marquez the slight edge to win that fight, becasue of Hatton's punch-resistance seems to be going.

    I dont want to see Hatton fight forbes, katsidis, kahn, or witter.....

    Personally, I dont think Kahn or Witter deserves to be in the same arena as Ricky let alone the same ring.....

    Your thoughts?

    his punch resitance is a problem, but i dont think hatton is physically shot, I think he beats almost all the guys in the top 10 at 140 except torres, who is the heaviest hitter in the division.

    Well....were do you think Warren is hoping Khan comes out of his next fight with a world title...then although he says otherwise (he said pretty much in an interview after Hattons KO2 loss that he's finished and khan would destroy him!) I think this really means "lets get this fight on and I again will cash in on you". This.

    Bradley would beat Ricky's ass.

    did you watch the holt fight? when holt pressed him in the fight, bradley seemed out of rythm....hatton will press, and bradley will try to get inside as well, hatton's comfort zone...hatton being the veteran, and bradley still "green" hatton wins this fight.

    I want him to retire. He's achieved immense success and there is no shame in losing to two of the greats of his generation. The longer he leaves the decision the more it seems like he will return, though. If he does, I think the only fight out there that he would want is a fight with old pal [sic] Witter if he regains the WBC strap next month. What a way to bow out- beat one of the guys you despise the most and maybe retire as a belt holder. I don't rate Bradley at all and, to be honest, there is no money in that fight either from Hatton's point of view.

    It has to be Witter...settle the old score. I don't think Bradley should take a fight with Hatton now, if he wins people will say Hatton's shot and he'll def retire....and there's the chance Hattons not as bad as people are now saying he is and he beats Bradley in which case it'll be difficult for him to ever mount the P4P lists.

    if he fights on,id love to see the marquez fight but that may not happen now,i think he beats bradley,witter,torres,holt etc,the best fights to watch would be jmm,j diaz or katsidis so any of these would be a good send off fight
