Should Ricky Hatton Retire?

Ricky Hatton is considering a fight with Juan Manuel Marquez next summer. Since Ricky's last fight he's been seen boozing again & he's piled on the pounds & in my opinion when he's had to take on the very best he's been outclassed.

    defo!! i have watched every ricky hatton fight since he turned pro, he's done all he can an i agree should of retired after mayweather fight. Was exposed as being a very very good fighter but not a great one! too one dimensional and likes a tear up too much an at world class level you just can't do it that unless your in the world class bracket ;)

    while i agree with all the above, i am not so sure it is quite as straightforward as simply saying he should quit. Yes, I would probably tip Marquez to beat him, and yes, that would diminish his record further.  But the question is...how important is that record to him?  Most fans want him not to fight because THEY want his record to remain a very good one.  But if that isnt so important to him, and he loves boxing, and wants to continue, i think he should.  He'll be a long time retired from the ring, so why not.

    He also has to consider the purse he is being offered.
    Worst scenario he loses and gets a big payout, he wins and gets a big payout and another top fight with another big payout

    I heard today that Amir Khan wants to fight him, so i don't think we've seen the last of the hitman yet. Although IMO he should stay retired.
