| He must know he is done and has no chance of a validating win over a current contender. I think he was a hell of a fighter, but he won't be remembered very fondly outside of the UK. A lot of people criticize his record and opponents. | |

| Hard to argue the critics when you were embarrassed in your only two meaningful fights... | |

| Yeah it sucks but Ricky was highly overrated in the UK and came to the US and was exposed quickly. He sure could put asses in the seats over there though couldnt he? Always had a packed house and crowd was always going crazy for him. | |

| Sucks and it most have been hard for him to do. But at least he has the sense to acknowledge that he was never going to reach any further. | |

| I wouldn't say Hatton was exposed. He lost to the two highest ranked fighters in the world. Seems like many people have forgotten that he "beat" Kostya Tszyu who was one of the best fighters in the world at that time was one of the baddest men in boxing. You also can't forget he moved up to 147 and beat Collazo, a guy who just got done having a fight of the year with Berto and before that hadn't lost to a fighter not named Mosley or Hatton in 7 years. | |

| Hattons problem was his weight fluctuations
can barely make the weight and it effects him when he drops that much weight | |
