    It is 367 days since Hatton hit the canvas and the ref speed counted to 10, since this injustice Hatton has not wore his gloves again. He has not though officially retired, he is leaving the door open, just in case he gets that feeling when he walks in his gym of actually using it.

    So should Hatton officially retire, if so when, or should he leave the door open indefinitely?

    Over to you.

    he is young enough to fight again but he needs to be serious and get in shape. not sure he has the fight left in him anymore.

    Hatton was just as proud as Prince Nassim so dont expect him to retire.10yrs from now he will still be telling you he's waiting for the itch in his feet to return.

    no way can he get back down to 140 without doing serious damage to his health. Any weight above that and he wouldn't be competitive. Just needs to swallow his pride and pack it in.

    He's living good right now. There's too many hungry guys at 135-147. He shouldn't come back for his health. I wouldn't want to see him get rocked anymoar than he already has.

    When he or a doctor decide he has had enough right now he still can beat plenty of guys out there just not the top p4p guys who have beat him

    I think he's had a helluva career and if anything has overachieved and taken part of history he can live off of for the rest of his life. Ego is the only reason he could have for staying in it. He should just enjoy the name he's built and the riches that came with it, imo.

    I'd actually like to see Hatton/Marquez.

    Then win or lose he should retire.
