    Who says Hatton goes out boozing everynight? I'd be willing to put money on it that he doesnt. He may have had a drink on interviews, because they interview him when he's out, and how often do we see these interviews? once a fortnight maybe max, hardly sufficient evidence to accuse someone of getting pissed up everynight is it ;)

    I agree his lifestyle can't helped but to say its major part of losing to Pac is a bit of stretch, he just got beaten by a better fighter. Hatton got wobbled against Lascano but not against Zoo, sometimes that just happens in fights, too say he couldn't take a Lazcano jab is just wild exageration....

    Punch resistance was not to blame for his loss to Manny, he took 65 power shots inside 2 rounds, compare that to the other fight you've mentioned against tszyu, where he may have taken 65 shots over the course of 6-8 rounds, lack of defence was a problem.

    to put on 3 stone in 5 weeks is a serious sign someone is in need of help, in hattons book he references going down the boozer in between fights everynight, get the facts right pal

    In hattons book he also said he would never part with Billy Graham, hardly concrete is it?

    it wasnt a major part in him losing it was a major part in the manner in which he lost

    I'm no nuritionist but isn't at least some of the reason Hatton put on 3 stone after the fight is that 10 stone isn't a natural weight for him to be at in the first place? Its not as if he's put on 3 stone from his walking around weight, its 3 stone from a weight he struggles to get down to for a fight.

    SS- you say he's put on three stone but he hasnt really as he, he weighed 10 stone for all of 10 minutes, on fight night he weighed approx. 11 stone, so he's put on 2 stone, bear in mind 11 stone is still far from his natural weight and he's what, put on maybe a stone more than the average fighter?

    yes it was to blame, he took one big shot which had him out cold for a few minutes, it had little to do with acclumination, that one shot had him stretched, his punch resistance is nothing it was, his stamina is nothing it was and he is not the fighter he was

    its like pissing in the wind with you hatton fans, you are not betraying him by admitting his lifestyle has affected his career, i know it might be hard because its his lifestyle which more than likely got you on his bandwagon but they are the facts

    Oh, FFS!!! I've said his lifestyle affected his career, just not to the extent you'd like to think.

    Out of that 3 stone you mention, he'd put over 1 stone of it on before he got in the ring with Pac.

    Im not denying his lifestyle effected his career, but surely that was more evident in the Lazcano fight, where he gassed out and was shook up over 12 rounds showing his lifestyle had clearly effected his stamina/punch resistance rather than a 2 rounder in which we had no time to see what condition he was in and he was knocked out with a monsterous shot due to lunging in with the head. Im not denying his punch resistance has faded from what it once was, I just dont think thats the reason he lost to Manny so dont go labling us all as one without reading what I post properly
     
  14. If you break it down Hatton is almost the definition of a BUM, he's a whino, dumb, ugly and fantasizes about being the best in the world....the only thing that seperates him is his bank balance and IMO he should give all his money back to the people he conned while he was boxing.
