The Mancunian pugilist known as the "Hitman," a nickname shared with legendary American boxer Thomas Hearns, was defeated last night by Philippine champion Manny Pacquiao.
 
According to the Associated Press, Ricky Hatton's father Ray claims that his son's future is uncertain at this point, and that a decision to possibly retire after his second-round knockout to Manny Pacquiao in the heavily promoted match in Las Vegas is still pending.

Hatton was floored during the first round twice, and then suffered the knock out blow in the second round, laid out by Pacquiao's left hook.

This was Hatton's second defeat in 47 fights.

The AP reports that Hatton was checked for brain injury at a nearby hospital after the fight.

"He's perfectly all right," Ray Hatton told BBC Radio Five on Sunday. "They've checked him out. He's had all the tests and everything. He's not got a mark on him."

Whether or not the popular British fighter carries on in the sport is up in the air, according to his father.

"Obviously, we will support him in whatever he does and we'll leave that with him," Hatton said to the BBC Radio Five reporter. "At this moment in time, he's probably got a few mixed feelings about it. He'll make that decision whichever way he wants to and the family will support him.

"I don't think he would let anybody make that decision for him. He would make it himself, that's one thing I am absolutely certain of. He's very, very strong willed."

Hatton's trainer for the fight was Floyd Mayweather Sr.

"I would suggest he retire. At the end of the day, it's his decision," Mayweather Sr. said. "He tried twice. He failed twice. He lost to my son and to lose to someone below that, it's time to leave the ring. He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there."

Shut up Floyd Snr! Do not blame Ricky alone for the loss! Ricky is a good figther, you are just not good enough as a trainer.

Hope Hatton recovers and fight again and show how good he is. Pacman is just too fast for him but Ricky could beat other world class fighter.

Also, Ricky was mislead by teh Golden Egg, Oscar dela Hoya. Telling Ricky that Pacman's punch has no sting. tsk tsk tsk... willing to put his figthers on the disadvantage just to protect his bloated EGO!

DEAR Hatton, dont retire you are still young. Go to Freddie Roach train for 6 months. Manny had style the same as you 9 years ago. in 3 fights, Roach changed him into what he is now today. Start all over again. I am a Filipino respecting your courage but I am a solid PACMAN fan. Very few boxers like you with heart ready to die inside the ring. Keep it up.

.. ricky hatton was a gentleman and tainted & painted w/ trash & dirt by mayweather sr., pacquiao and hatton respects each other, if you take out what is odd, it is mayweather sr., he is way too far from the word respect, afterall, boxing is a sport where someone has to win and the other will lose.. respect is gained by our ways & deeds... if his selling point to find work as a trainer is by trashing other people, then he better stay out of the business as he is a disgrace and has no right to advise hatton to retire. he disappeared like a bubble after the fight undercover the darkness of his character... he should retire as a trainer so younger boxers will not follow his path. he can never teach respect which he doesn't have. it is no wonder, why his son disrespects him... so, hatton get well soon and change your trainer! we still respect you for your gallantry.

Congrats to Pacman and his whole team! I like to commend Manny for being great in discipline in his training and in his actual fight. Manny's victory will not be possible without the help of his trainor, Freddie Roach - you are the greatest boxing trainor in the whole world! i felt sad when they announce you had parkinson. I know this sickness will not let you down, you are destined to train Manny P. and some more boxers to their full potential.

To Hatton, don't listen to negative things they say to you, learn from your mistake, stand again and fight.

To Floyd Snr, oh gee,,, just shut up!

Floyd Sr should keep his mouth shut! i would like to clear and quote what you said: 'He tried twice. He failed twice. He lost to my son and to lose to someone below that, it's time to leave the ring.'

You got it all mixed up. Are you trying to say that Pacquiao is that someone below your son? Come on Floyd, your son is the most boring boxer in the world. Your son barely won against Dela Hoya. Your son took 10 rounds to dispose Hatton. Pacquiao easily defeated them in an embarassing fashion. Wait till your boring son gets the same embarassing moment from Pacquiao.

You should retire and not Hatton. You are the most washed up trainer in the world right now. If you want your son to stand a chance against Pacquiao, then dont train him. You'll do your son a favor.

Hatton shouldnt retire. Find a better trainor then fight again. It happens, someone has to win and someone has to lose. It just so happen that Pacquiao came out to be the 'so much' better fighter.

Floyd MayTalker Sr. Shut up! Your lungs would kill you soon so go retire and rest. You have proven to the world that your a failure, both in talking and as a trainor. Your son has been picking his opponents just to keep his perfect record, how is that even considered as a 'best fighter'? I surely hope Marquez crushes Floyd Maygayer Jr.

i want to see a Pacquiao-Marquez rematch, it is surely going to be very exciting than a Pacquiao-Maygayer match because both are smart and 'willing' to bang it up. FM Jr is just too boring. More talk and more ropes.

I'm not boxing expert but from what I saw what made Ricky lost was his strategy. Ricky just launched to a front all attack against PacMan. He should have had a different strategy.

Right now the only boxing style that can beat PacMan is Floyd Jr, boring but effective for fast boxers like PacMan.

Ricky should not retire he is a good fighter like manny pacquiao but a wrong trainer. Im a filipino, we respect Ricky Hatton as a fighter and gentleman and we know what a good fighter like and also a bad trainer. Mate, you still young and maybe you will not change your style but i believe you will be improve. Just choose a right trainer this time. And to Floyd Snr shame on you blaming your fighter you and your son should retire.

For everyone who thinks Money May will fight Manny they may get dissapointed because after that lethal fight he may make the demands to great just to lay a smoke screen not to face Manny Ricky came close to beating Mayweather until he got knock out in the 10th Manny destroyed him at the sound of the first bell and then the 10 sec toll in the 2nd round was the mourning bell for Ricky. Ricky should not retire He should join Freddy Roach at Wild card and see If Freddy can make him a bigger boxer If it happens this adds to Floyd Joys Joke of a career Jr is scared to witness a defeat to Pacman he couldnt knockout ODLH and it took 10 for Ricky Manny stats is ODLH end of 8th rd I quit and 2 rd execution of hitman

Hatton should NOT retire, maybe his trainer. I think his trainer is an asshole, after telling you you can beat the guy before 9th round, then now he is going to advise you to retire? Can you imagine what an asshole this trainer is?? Instead of saying, Hatton can actually lasts more than that if he followed my instruction to keep on distance, now you are going to tell him to retire?? What kind of asshole are you Floyd?? You are just simply a BAD trainer!! That is the main point!, your fighter lost because of lack of discipline SAME as you are! You are the main reason why Hatton lost, If you only discipline your self first and not coming LATE during the training, maybe he could have perform better than that. This Floyd Sr is just simply the same as his son. No wonder why the Junior is very Arrogant. Let your son face Manny, that IF he can win against Marquez.

To Hatton, you are young to retire bro, I know you are a good LAD, your a Brit, a nice person. You can still beat other world class fighter. Pacquiao maybe just an exception. You even defeated Paulie and Katsidis. Don't retire yet man, maybe your asshole trainer.

I am a Filipino and a bigfan of Pacman, Hatton and Marquez.

Pacquiao is not really eager to this fight, because he is fighting to someone who is good to him. We just don't expect that Hatton wasn't able to take it. But if the Junior will go out and talks allot? Then you will see the real Pac-Man and he is going you Floyd who runs allot. Floyd doesn't deserved that P4P king, he gives boxing a bad image because of his running, this ain't basketball, ain't a soccer brotha so why runs allot? Against Manny? You can run but you CAN'T HIDE.

The only fighter who can beat Manny? Is a Humble fighter and trainer who gives respect to him. You will see.

Pac’s win over Hatton is nothing. Hatton is old and past his prime. Hatton had not looked good in his last few fights against Juan Urango, Juan Lazcano and Paulie Malagnaggii
Pacman is still a COWARD!!
Pac is DUCKING Marquez.
Pac has turned down $6 MILLION DOLLARS, to avoid fighting 34 yr.old veteran Marquez for a 3rd time. Marquez challenged Pac in his backyard and Pac has chickened-out.
Instead Pac had an easy fight against a 31 yr old David Diaz FOR LESS MONEY!!
This is proof that Pac is AFRAID and SCARED to fight Marquez again.
Pac only fight OLD Mexican Greats that are past their primes, but ducks the prime tough Mexicans.
Pac has ducked Humberto Soto, Edwin Valero, Nate Cambell, Joan Guzman, Juan Diaz.
This is why Pac does not have a World Title, so that he can avoid mandatories. Pac hasn’t defendended a World Title in almost 6 years!!!, since 2003. Pac just goes around handpicking the battle-worned and over-the-hill fighters.

Keep Running From Marquez, Soto and Valero, Coward-Pacman

Hatton and Pacquaio has the same age, and you're saying the Pacman defeated Hatton just because he is old? Can't you just accept that Pacquaio is a much better fighter? Hatton is a good one, too but he got the wrong trainer.

Mayweather Sr. is a SNAKE OIL SALESMAN and is BOUND TO HAVE ONE OF HIS BOXERS KILLED IN THE RING. He somehow convinces them that they are the best because he is the “greatest trainer of all time” “not this time not the future time but of all time”. He shows them a few great moves, explains them clearly and the potential employer is awed but he doesn‘t really know shit. DLH bought it and now RH.

He now runs the risk of getting his son Floyd Jr. hurt trying to convince his son that he’s the better fighter than Pacquiao. A loving father would at least pause and say “ whoa, let’s circle the wagon and regroup, the Pac might really have something there.

As for his suggestion for Ricky to retire, that is just unconscionable, Floyd Mayweather Sr. is a dirty rotten pig. RH is a great fighter who if he spent a few weeks with Freddie Roach will surely annihilate PBF in a rematch.

Ricky, take a time out and ponder upon your defeat. If you wanna continue fighting, take a good look about hiring that cocky coach you have. Maybe he was more of a liability to you rather than help you. Good luck man, you have a heart of a champion. Filipinos will regard you with respect.

For WIZARD. Why not try get on the ring and fight your ass with either of Pacquiao or Hatton. Maybe these old and coward men can tickle your brains out. If you are really that amazed about how coward Pacquiao is, tell Mr. Marquez if he fights Pacquiao again, train HARDER and train how not to get a knockdown. Maybe then he can win, otherwise, all we hear is some whining and excuses.. pretty much the same like what you are saying here.

Your Juan Manuel Marquez is just a lucky guy against the Pacman. Pacman has beaten him twice but was lucky to salvaged a draw on the first fight when one of the judges committed an error, it should have been 10-6 and not 10-7.

The 2nd fight should not have been a split decision but rather at least a majority decision or unanimous decision if not a TKO, had Marquez not saved by the bell on two particular rounds.

JMM should be thankful, luck was on him.

Pacman is not scared of anybody. He is poised to collect his 7th belt in the welterweight. He's not even scared of facing much bigger guys than Juan Manuel Marquez. And why would I fight a guy whom I have taken his belt if my aim is to be the greatest by collecting more belts.

Although I am a fan of Pacman. I have noticed after the fight of the Pacman and the Hitman, the head trainer of Ricky, Floyd Sr., wasn't there, he didn't even bother to check his fighter. He does not have the respect of his fighter specially when his fighter is down. What he did is to wash his hand and told the media that Ricky was not following his instructions and even told Ricky to retire.


Thanks... Ricky Hatton still have a very good chance to be a champion again, that's if he will not listen to Mr. Floyd Mayweather Sr.

Ricky Hatton should get out of Golden Boy Promotions. Oscar's not a good manager. Yes, somebody says Oscar's have a bloated ego and it's true. He should have warned Ricky not to underestimate Pacquiao's power! And look at Floyd Sr. after he castigated Ricky, he just left the post fight and said nothing! Managers/trainers should be with their fighters and act as encouragers not demoralizers! We advice you Ricky to shift to other promoter or train with the best, Freddie Roach. We know you have a lot in your career and two losses won't tarnish the record you've put up thru the years...it's an honor anyway losing to two great boxers but there's a lot of time for you to recover and fight again.. I am a Filipino enthusiast and have followed your career too - you live for another day to fight Ricky - i have a complete trust that you can still make it to the top one day, even Pacquiao believes you have the power. Don't lose hope.

It's for Ricky to decide whether to box on. He's had his time at the top. As a Brit, I'm proud of him as a man for his courage and decency. From other comments here I see Filipinos think the same. You are great sports, and Pacquiao is a wonderful boxer who deserved his win. I think he must be one of the fastest ever. Shame on Mayweather Snr. He did not even bother to see if his boxer was badly injured after the TKO. By the way, Hatton is a Mancunian (from Manchester, England), NOT a Manchurian.

floyd snr.....shut up man.pacman surely is not below to your son.pacman disposed ricky and oscar easily and your son had a hard time beating them. go back to reality man, i think you should be the one retiring and not ricky.
i hope that pbf and pacman will fight each other and if this thing happens im sure manny will be the victorious one and by that time you can kiss your a** goodbye....

Ricky Hatton is still 'THE HITMAN'. the failure of the student is the failure of the teacher. i believed The Hitman got what it takes to win but Mayweather Sr. failed to bring that out of ricky so if there is someone should retire definitely not THE HITMAN. Mayweather Sr., COACHING is not for you! your not good at it so better quit. hope to see THE HITMAN fight again!

MABUHAY ANG PILIPINO!
