Why do People talk about Ricky Hatton like he was a bum?

Is his generation only 3 years or so, because I'm pretty sure he's in the same generation as Kostya Tszyu

 

dude in your avy ktfo hatton!!!!
people like you discredit pbf's wins.....adding to the low ranking of hatton

 

lmao alexander spring to mind

 

Did I say only English fighters?

 

This is actually a good post but doesn't address all of the issues.Quite honestly,oftentimes,the English media and fans(much like Americans) have a tendency to overrate their athletes and make excuses for their failures(much like Americans,also).The VAST MAJORITY of the English boxing fans on these boards blame Hatton's loss to Mayweather on Joe Cortez,but don't have a single thing to say anything about Dave Parriss' disgraceful performance during Hatton-Tszyu.Obviously,you don't,but one only needs to read the posts on Esb during the time of those fights to see that that is clear.Another thing that needs to be addressed is the fact that the English on these boards take Andre Ward to task(as well as Bernard Hopkins) for being a dirty fighter(correctly in both cases,I might add),but don't mention the fact that Hatton is one of the dirtiest fighters of this generation as well.There is a clear double standard involved that is going to create a backlash-like it or not.Coupled with the facts that many believe that Hatton was beaten by light hitting Collazo as he was reeling at the end of the fight and that Hatton never beat anything resembling a great fighter in his career and it's(quite honestly)easy to see why people give Hatton stick,and why there's a backlash against him.

 

I've said this many times that Hatton was an overrated fighter to say the very least. His best win was tkoing an over the hill Kostya in which that was a wrestling match thanks to Hatton clinching style. I bet a prime Hatton that was undefeated would have lost to Bradley or even Khan.

 

generation as is the fighters that came up at the same time he did.

Tszyu's generation would include Mitchell, Harris at 140, and the likes of Gatti, DLH, Mosley, Trinidad..

Hatton's would include the likes of Malignaggi, Cotto, Mayweather, Margarito

 

Pac's roiding started only when it became obvious that he wanted Floyd's head and it was Floyd, Sr who initiated Pac into it! Yes, it all started in the wicked mind of an old coward and every idiot around believed his story.atsch

 

Its actually reasonable impressive...Its way ****ing better then anyone other then Bradley's fighting at the weight these days....so not sure what your talking about.

 

Because people around here are bitter ****s that don't have anything better to do.

Plus most posters here aren't very bright either:rasta

 

Yeah, he was a great fighter who lost to Floyd at 147 where he was not comfortable. He lost to Pac at the weight where he was best, but of course, he was a bum that time because it was Pac he fought! That's how it is in the mind of an idiot! If Hatton's prime was at 140 which was a good 4-5 yrs before Pac, then Floyd defeated a bloated, past prime Hatton!

 

Science supports what Pac was saying in this video. :deal

This is for those who say giving blood for tests does not affect athletic performance.

Blood tests for drug use involve collecting about 10-20 cc of blood (1-2 vials). 4 of these drug tests will equal 50-100 cc, or about 10% - 20% of a pint of blood given in donations (450cc).


1. How do periodic reductions in hemoglobin affect an athlete's ability to train?

Blood is a complicated tissue with many different roles. When you donate blood, you give up a pint of fluid containing mostly water along with various proteins and cells in solution. During high-intensity endurance activities however, it is hemoglobin, found within our red blood cells, that is most important.

Hemoglobin delivers oxygen to our tissues, and when we exercise our muscles require increased amounts of oxygen. If we lack sufficient hemoglobin, anaerobic, or without oxygen, metabolism will ensue (producing lactic acid) at even seemingly moderate levels of intensity.

, (which is why you may not donate more often than every two months). What then are the lasting effects of this red blood cell loss?

Assuming that your cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart) remains constant, a drop in hemoglobin concentration associated with donating blood will reduce your oxygen delivery to working muscles by 10 percent. Still, when you are at rest, or even during moderate levels of exercise, oxygen delivery, even at this decreased capacity, far outpaces demand.

However, once you reach a heart rate that is around 5 to 10 percent below your usual anaerobic threshold, your body's demand for oxygen will outpace its supply. For example, if your metabolism typically becomes anaerobic at a heart rate of 170, then after donating blood you will become anaerobic at a heart rate of between 157 and 164 beats per minute. This value will fluctuate because your hemoglobin level will be rising slowly each day, thus the most significant effect will be felt in the first few days after donating.

2. Donating Blood - What Active People Need to Know

He notes that many variables make it difficult to predict how much or how long donating a pint of blood will affect athletic performance. However, he notes that recovery after blood donation is fairly fast. Eichner writes: "In my anecdotal experience,

10% of 4 weeks is roughly 3 days, the same amount of time Pac complains about not feeling well in training after giving blood for testing hepatitis. :deal
