    :rofl:rofl:rofl Like son like father. Sr. UD. Seriously I don't think he would have the desire to fight again, knowing that the blueprint Floyd Jr. laid out has been distibuted nationwide.

    It's not the loss that counts it's how.

    If Hatton loses a close disputed decision: He'll go for a rematch.

    If Hatton loses a competitive fight by KO: He'll go back to the route he used after the floyd loss. He'll take on a fight against a relative no hoper to rebound then go after a title.

    If he's demolished in a one sided thrashing? Retirement.

    I reckon he will retire if he is ko'd which I cansee happening in the second half of the fight. If he does win he should
    Keep well back from pbf I'm not a mayweather fan but I think it would go the same way again andprobably quicker.

    Khan,Witter or the loser of JMM and PBF.

    If Sugar has to wait for the winner of the winners(Pac-Ricky,PBF-JMM), if you know what i mean, then maybe him.


    Most money is Khan, but that invovles Warren.

    He hates Witter.

    I think Sugar gets someone from the WW's signed up before July.

    So id probably favour the loser of JMM and PBF.

    I'd be in favor of him retiring. I would hope he could afford to.

    Maybe see if he can get up to 300lbs, which would be decent for a little guy.

    I definitely do not see him retiring. I think he'd rather end his career in the UK. I'd say Witter would make sense, but spite might just keep that from happening. Tim Bradley would be logical.

    he said it himself, with his style it's not safe to have a long career

    retire if it's a loss ricky, otherwise chase floyd again

    i think he'll fight jmm if he loses, assuming pbf beats him. if he does lose he still has 2-3 fights left in him. he would still have only lost to p4p #1 fighters. talk of him being a stepping stone for other fighters is a bit over the top. he would still be too much for any other fighters at 140, and 140 is a good division again. anyway this is all academic because hatton going to ko pac in 8.

    But if he doesn't beat Pac then he's not gonna have a much easier time with (the then 26 year old) Bradley. Witter would be a comparatively better comeback fight than the risk Bradley would bring.
