    Hatton is not shot in any way. He just first took a step up in class against Mayweather and Pacquaio.

    He got beaten by 2 ELITE fighters, why does that mean he's shot?
    He's just not at that level, never was and probably never will be.

    To get as good as Mayweather and Pacquiao it takes TOTAL dedication, something which Ricky just does not have with his binge drinking and ballooning between fights. Mayweather and Pacquiao are always in shape. Mayweather was still going to the gym even when he retired.

    Hatton is not shot.

    A persuasive argument.

    If you will allow me to make a hypothetical argument in opposition however, I am curious as to how you would retort the following.

    "No u".

    He has lost twice to two better fighters. He isn't shot, he'll just be the guy you have to beat to get to Pac. He will be the next Gatti; one hell of a show either way. Boxing needs another go for broke guy, the guy who keeps our interest between big fights.

    PLEASE. ARE YOU JOKING? You think ANYONE could take that punch? Hatton was out cold before he hit the floor. He didn't even see it coming. I'm asking you to please watch the replay...it is BRUTAL.

    Manny hasn't managed to do that to anyone else as they had better defense, Hatton has always had a flawed defense, he just never met anyone with Pac's KO power and speed. F*CK people will do anything to not give Pac the credit he deserves. It's really starting to p*ss me off. Alright he's not better than ALI or Duran but at least give him some f*cking credit for taking on big challenges and winning.

    i heard this as well from graham, but graham also said befor the pac fight "ricky would win in spectacular fashion"....i also heard graham thinks now he should have never takin the pac fight....IF hatton fights again, i see him reunited with graham, so he can settle the lawsuit.

    So the only explanation for two elite fighters to beat Hatton is that he's shot?

    How about it's that he fought two fighters who were too good for him and got beaten?

    I think that's an argument that makes more sense.

    I dont think he is shot yet? If he can get witter he can go out on top in britain at least? Mind you he could be tempted with Kahn after that. But they are both very winnable fights for him. Good luck to him if he comes back.

    Which is exactly why it has no place on ESB.

    No need to discriminate against Hatton by being rational.

    He is not totally shot. I voted for 7 as I think he is on the slide and could have more defeats on his recored from lesser fighters if he continues.

    I think he's very shot.

    He took massive shots from Tsyzu, bigger than Pacs and never went down.

    Now...any decent shot and he's shaken...
