Should Ricky "*** Clown" Hatton fight again ?

money being the only reason why Ricky Fatton would even consider coming back. i just can't see him taking on any of the top boxers out there. Why the hell would he even consider fighting Khan? Khan would destroy him the same exact way pacquiao did, if not even faster. he could fight his brother, and pay him off so hatton could get the win.

    Hatton really should retire for the sake of his long-term health. He is far too fat and getting too old to shed the weight in a safe way. There is only one fight out there of interest to the British fans and that’s against Khan. Ricky was an excellent and tough fighter but Khan would now win easily and make Hatton look slow and sadly expose him, there is a chance that Hatton could be seriously damaged from it. The man lives his life like a lager swilling, junk food binge eater, not a top-level sportsman. Please Ricky, you were a real star with a great, great personality and thousands of fans but you’re only human. Drop the pride and retire for the sake of your future and your family. You’ve had a great career and too many brutal wars, nothing left to prove now. Enjoy life, look back fondly and try and keep healthy. Khan should probably test his awesome skills and dodgy chin against Mayweather!

    Look he fought 2 better fighters but what you felled to mention was he also beat several top contenders. Last one being P Malinagi. Hatton is a top contender and has been a world champion. He is fighting in a heavier weight class when he took on Floyd and Pac Man still has to show many out there that he is clean. That being said Hatton isn't that far off from being on top. i don't think he will hold a welterweight belt but at jr welter or super light weight he has a really good shot. Not to mention Ricky always comes to fight and puts on a good show. Guys like him make boxing look good.

    Geez, I don't know why you're so hard on Ricky Hatton, he's a good but not great fighter. Losing to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, they are the two best pound for pound fighter in the world today. I see no reason he shouldn't fight again, just not against guys as good as Pacquaio or Mayweather.

    He lost to 2 of the best in the modern era - his only defeats. I'm sick of people bashing Hatton then talking about Malignaggi as if he is the best thing since sliced bread. Go figure.

    NOOOOOO I hate that song the fans cheer. Plus he has no chin. Maybe Cotto vs Hatton would be good.

    He should. A bout against fast rising star Edwin valero would be a good match up and sell too
