He got beaten up bad by Erislandy Lara in sparring didn't he? Lara got thrown out of the gym after 5 rds I heard, Buncey mentioned on his BH Show a while back, dunno whether it was during PAC training camp.
I read it as well .Pretty sad to see him going out like that .This was funny as f--k . Floyd Mayweather Sr Will somebody please tell slick Rick to stop [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTNXzfneTNI[/ame]
:rofl Gaz BTW i believe it was Lara that bashed him up in sparring so i presume he was the man that dropped Hatton.
Credit to him for getting in there with the best to be fair, credit to Froch for doing the same. The less said about some of our other 'champs' the better.
Just read the story, & deary me. Sounds like Ricky is in denial, & blaming others for your failures is a bad place to be! Ricky has to be honest with himself & admit that he was living the good life outside of the ring much like my hero Scotty Harrison, & it takes its toll. Ricky in my mind has unfinished business, hes still young enough to come back & owes it to himself to stay away from the temptations & have one last crack, like Scotty harrison is doing. I hate to hear the guy talking like this cos he lost his two biggest fights, I always find in dark moments you should remind yourself what you have achieved in life, what you have got & think of how many people would swap places with you in a split second. My advice to Ricky is this, accept you let yourself down with your lifestyle coupled with making a bad career decision going with Floyd snr, & instead of getting the carpet knife out, remember how lucky you are compared to most people in life(healthy, loving family, world champion, megarich & a forgiving wife) things could be a helluva lot worse! Ricky really needs to put the carpet knife away & get himself clean, & as an older & wiser man get back in the ring & put the Pac defeat behind him, cos the Pac KO is clearly haunting him. Hatton needs to put a positive spin on his defeat & say "I got KO'd quick, but at least I had the balls to go toe-to-toe with Pac, how many other fighters have done that? Just my thoughts on a strange situation, sometimes these rich ****s really need to be slapped back into reality:bbb
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Indeed him and De La Hoya need to wake the **** up. "My next book is called love me or I will top myself"
