fighting outside of his natural weight against mayweather (who is raw talent in his own class) was the first downfall. Along with wanting to fight for the big money. He left his promoter frank warren quite early on because he was being held back and groomed as a superstar against people who were too old or had taken big beatings previously (see amihr khann currently). He broke away from this because he wanted to test himself agains the best in the world in his OWN class. He had reasonable success and reached his prime in my opinion in his mid 20's. Since that time i assume he must have got bored, or at some point thought ok im beating people easy in my own class but im not bringing in the big money. The likes of mayweather jr are where the big money is, breaking into america with force. With this being said lets face it, that fight on its own must have brought him in a few mill, losing it wasnt too great for his rep though. In my opinion infact i think he was fighting to the best of his ability but like i said earlier he was fighting someone who is something a bit special in a different class.

For me i feel after the first mayweather fight ricky realised he isnt indestructable and he lost his way.. do i fight back in my own class and dominate? or do i try and set the record straight? from this point on it seems its been nothing but the demise of ricky hatton and tbh thats all im going to say on it because its been a very sad thing to see someone who had so much talent turn in to what seems.. a money fighter (bad one at that).
