    Many fans have a though taht Hatton after two big loses is nowe definitely finished

    But Pac and Floyd are probably one of the best all time so maybe Ricky has some future???

    He isnt so old , he can give some good fights I am looking forawrd for his fights


    Of coure the question is about weight:):)


    He is now about 200 lbs so meybe CW????

    I don't think he should return. He is a very good fighter and will be remembered well. But at this point, anything he does after this will never erase the Mayweather and Pacman fights.

    I originally wanted him to come back but he has got so out of shape that it is ridiculous that he might fight again. I wouldnt pay to watch it, that is for sure.

    It all come down to the fact that he doesn't stay in shape.
    That drains you no matter what. He should have retired before the last 2 fights.

    If he can rediscover his form pre pac then id say yes, personally i would hate to go out on his last fight. Boxers are proud and that defeat has gota hurt bad. Hatton needs a bit of redemption and he wil feel a helofalot better. Im sure hes hurting bad even now. Im sure he can still be competitive at 140, just not against the likes of floyd and pac.

    Weather or not he should he will so the question doesn't mean much.

    Depends on what weight,calibre of opponent,trainer,motivation,etc.

    I am not a fan, but I would like to see him come back. Maybe change surroundings, get training hard, and look great on a final bout or two. Fan or not, I hate to see a fighter that brought that much to the game go out like that.

    No, but he doesn't listen to good advice so expect to see him further ruin his health and legacy soon.

    khan has stolen rickys thunder anyway by facing marquez in may

    i think ricky should fight either

    m. katsidis
    j. diaz
    a. gomez
    s. forbes

    all good matches for ricky for choices good scrappers with good names
    but not too much of a threat ???
    then face the khan / jmm winner then retire

    Imo, the guy honestly should hang up his gloves. I can imagine how hard it must be for him to turn away from the fame and everything but he has to look after his health + he has a wife and kids so I definetly think he shouldn't return. He's done a great deal in the sport! :)

    God no. Mans delusional as well. He thought he was winning the second round of the pacquiao fight until he 'got caught'

    As I have said for a while now, I believe he has completely lost his punch resistance, I generally think that whoever he fights will knock him out. And everybody who suggests that he should fight Khan needs to think about that, I believe Khan would be the worst possible person for him to fight. Ricky would have his mindset on thinking he could knock him out with one punch, so he would just walk into Khans quick combos all night and would get eventually knocked out. Ricky Hatton should retire.

    No, he should walk away.....i'm a hatton fan, but he has been exposed as a very limited fighter, and past his best....I think 90% of world class B-A level guys will beat him...

    He wants to so he his, i wish him all the best. Will be interesting who he'll get in a trainer though - Roach has said no.
