Whats the point in Hatton fighting on?

£.

 

The thing is I feel Hatton should retire, but Hatton-Khan is too much money, and both fighters feel they can beat each other. Sky are already trying to push this fight hard they keep asking Khan will you fight Hatton every 2 days. Sky will push Warren hard to focus on and try make this fight if Khan beats Kotelnik.

 

hatton needs one more signature win, witter wont get him that.....

khan is his next best option or a bradley.....both are winnable if hatton is not shot, which i dont think he is......

if he were to beat khan, khan can still go on and have a successful carear, and it would just enhance hatton's win....if khan has a nice carear....

thats hatton's reasoning in all this......

 

If I was him I'd probably have one homecoming fight for the fans at Wembley/ City of Manchester and then retire. I agree there's probably not too much point him going on at this stage. He's secured a very good legacy for himself, got his health intact, made enough money to last him and his family a lifetime. There's probably nobody who he's good enough to beat at this stage who is going to significantly improve his legacy. Bradley is OK but nothing spectacular and isn't much that he hasn't seen before. He can't beat any of the top welters. If I was him, I'd hang 'em up open a piub in Hyde and drink the profits all day long!

 

Dear God what a ****in tool! I think you're an alias of Betty. You sound equally, shall we say,... special?

 

I think he should call it quits.

Problem is, if he fights Khan and wins (wouldn't be a shock would it?), he may keep going yet further....

 

Two things.

1- Money.

2 - The chance to spark Khan and **** Warren over a final time in the process.

Don't know which means more to him though.

 

Unless Khan shows something he never has before (preferably a solid beard), I'd make Hatton a pretty strong favourite over him. His offensive skills have not slipped. Even Mayweather couldn't stop him getting inside and had to outfight him there. Khan cannot fight inside and isn't that good defensively though he is the taller guy. It would only take one decent left hook from Hatton to send him to la la land. True Hatton's punch resistance ain't what it was, but then does Khan have the power to seriously take advantage of that? He's no Pacquiao that's for sure and Hatton is no past-it Barrera.

 

Well, Ricky gave us some good moments...not great though, so time to enjoy that money.

 

What's the point of him not fighting on? End his career on a devastating KO in the 2nd round? That's not Ricky Hatton.
For what it's worth, imo Hatton would still beat Khan convincingly if that's the fight that's gonna happen. People say Hatton's punch resistance is gone from the Mayweather fight. He took a lot of shots against Mayweather and the KO shot caught him bang on the chin. Against Lazcano he was poorly. Yep, it's the gayest excuse ever but he did have the flu in the run up to the fight and he did look **** in the fight. Malignaggi... And then Pacquiao's KO punch would've knocked anyone into a coma. Could Khan land a shot like Mayweather did? Probably, but my argument would be Hatton would've already KO'd Khan by then. Hatton hasn't lost anything from is attack, even against Pacquiao he was relentless coming forward which was his downfall but I don't see Khan throwing a punch like Pacquiao's.

 

Are you Ricky Hatton?

That's a line he trots out in the 3rd person regulalrly.

 

I think Hatton wants to prove he can still fight at a high level and be the "best of the rest". If he beats a Bradley, a Witter, a Khan etc then at least he can say he only lost to potential ATG's.

On the flipside though, if Hatton does beat a top level welterweight then it will prove that he isn't as faded as first thought and just confirm that he was always lacking at the very top level, even when close to his best.

 

No, I was referring to Ricky Hatton as I thought 'him' wasn't a suitable word for the sentence.
'That's not him' would sound like I actually know Ricky Hatton and his feelings towards this certain dilemma. 'That's not Ricky Hatton' seems to be percieved more loosely, and would indicate that although I'm not certain towards what he's thinking, I can gauge a pretty good estimate based on what I think he would do from things he has said in the past and his actions in the past. I hope that clears it up. So to summarise, no, I am not Ricky Hatton.

 

:good

You still live in this fantasy Hatton wonderland dont you? Has it not dawned on you yet that Hatton was Mayweather and Pacs easiest nights work as he was so out of his depth?

FFS even David Diaz gave Pac a workout while Zab gave Mayweather a far better workout than your precious Hugman.

Personally I think you are still in denial about Hattons limited abilities and would be happy to see him seriously hurt or possibly braindamaged just so you and your mates can drunkenly sing "theres only one Ricky Hatton" one more time.

Hatton should quit while he has his health and his marbles... "fans" like you are doing him no favours.
