Hatton should retire now, preaches Pretty Boy

FLOYD MAYWEATHER yesterday urged “gun-shot” Ricky Hatton to retire and absolved his controversial trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr of any blame for the defeat by Manny Pacquiao.

Hatton was taken to hospital following his brutal two-round demolition by Pacquiao nearly three weeks ago and is now considering his future.

It was Mayweather who inflicted Hatton’s first career loss in 2007 with the American then entering a spell of retirement that will end when he meets Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas on July 18.
