    Everything was wrong about the Pacman preparation and Ricky will not want to go out on that showing. If he can sort out his trainer and come back comfortable not having to get down to 140 Zab Judah is a big enough name for TV on both sides of the pond and is faded enough to make him a risk worth taking

    I don't want to see him come back against anyone. Now is the right time to retire.

    Hatton is fighting Judah. Mini Hatton that is.

    I think the money on offer to face Khan at Wembly stadium next year will end all retirement talk. Therefore he should pick the right come back opponent to make him look good again

    Don't buy into that rubbish he was completely outclassed plain and simple. That excuse has been brought out nearly everytime he's had a bad day at the office.

    Ricky Hatton is finished, I hope for his sake he retires now while he has his health intact.

    What the **** has his preperation got to do with getting knocked out in 2 rounds. Its not like he tired out and got stopped late. Jesus there is always an excuse when it comes to Hatton.

    It's not the worst idea I've heard, but....

    What is he coming back for?

    Has he not peaked yet? (flashbacks to Rocky IV :lol:)

    Plus Zab Judah, is done, finished, irrelevant and has been for years.

    If Hatton fights anyone with a pulse there is a very good chance he will get KO'd.

    Hatton shouldn't be trying to make 140 anymore, he's ****ed his body up enough already.

    Wouldn't surprise me if he fought Khan at 147 at Wembley. Despite the comments to the contrary, I think there is some momentum building towards this fight.

    I hope that Hatton retires and starts promoting some great contests that the TV channels will want to air so we are not starved of domestic and world action for much longer......

    PS I think that Steve McKenzie's volley was better than Villa's goal!!!...:tong

    I don't think he is as bad at 147 as a lot of people (including himself) believe.

    Don't get me wrong, Mosley, Margarito and Williams would **** him up bad for varying reasons, but IMO it is often used as an excuse for the loss to Floyd.

    He did the weight wrong for Collazo, but looked great at the Floyd weigh in, but was outclassed.

    Up to the Pacquiao fight I'd have favoured him against guys like Berto - as TFFP has said previously he is past his best, but the footwork is still excellent and his handspeed and power hasn't slipped noticeably.

    I'd like to see him retire, but would still make him a 2/1 on fav against Khan.

    I would like to see Hatton retire too.... the greenback will make this fight ££££.... I think that Khan will vacate that belt and dive back in with the Lightweights and fight Hatton about this time next year at Wembley for megabucks at 140.....

    At this moment in time I agree with you that 2/1 for Hatton is a great price... but 12 months down the line and with someone like Roach who knows exactly how to upick Hatton it could be a different story.....:think

    Hmmm....

    I think Roach is getting too big for his boots ATM.

    I think Pacquiao will beat Cotto - who isn't all that IMO, having been broken by Margo and being gifted the win by a lazy Clottey....

    But when he runs into Floyd he will come acropper.

    Mark my words!

    Judah is ring savvy for Hatton. He would make Hatton look like a complete novice.

    I also doubt Team Hatton (I mean Ray and Ricky) would want to fight someone who has a chance of showing Ricky up again. Far easier to get some Mexican called Lasagne or even Lazcano over, build him up to be the biggest threat to Ricky since PBF and claim they promised him a shot at Ricky's XYZ title. Fill out the City of Manchester stadium and rake in the £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££'s (of cause Matty could be on the undercard and Mr Buffer could be flown over to be part of his razzamatazz (anyone remember watching that on television?).

    I agree.. I think that PBF will have every answer to what Pac Man brings.... it will be an awesome contest... I can see PBF winning well on pts or even a TKO late on.....I will be going to this one for sure...:yep

    This would be a good fight but if Hatton is going to lose then he should att least give someone like Khan, Arthur or Murray a fight.

    this fight will sell and thats the only reason hatton should take it, judah would stop hatton after about the 7th

    if lascano could hurt hatton with looping shots a motivated judah at 140 would slice him up with that slick southpaw left lead, southpaws all the way we dominate
