Bob Shannon is the man for Ricky.

I am not sure if bob is the long term solution.

I'm pretty sure he's just there to get Ricky in decent enough nick to go out there and bash up a complete no hoper.

Maybe afterwards he will reassess his options, if he's happy that he's still got it

 

Good choice. It will be a fantastic fairytale if Wicky wegained one ov his old light-welkerweight world tikles wiv Shannon, then wetired with his demons laid to rest and Shannon having his first world champion.

More likely ending is Wicky flat on his back again, with Shannon quietly slipping off into the crowd whistling, pretending he didn't see nothin.

 

Why is his hair so ****ing weird for a 50 year old guy?

 

Aerodynamics?..

 

It's also a complete myth that Ricky Hatton struggled to get fit during his first career, inbetween fights he was fat, but once he was in training camp..? His camps where some of the most intense and rigouris training protocols around. I can remember 7 years ago, training in my athletics group and one of my training partners was talking about Ricky Hatton! and a mate of his who had been to watch him train.

"The whole event had a profound effect on the lad, let's just leave it as that"

It's amazing that he was able to compete with such a yo yo, type of lifestyle. Ricky Hatton's fitness and endurance was one of his biggest strengths in his first career.

During the Mayweather fight, Mayweather was visibly breathing harder, because he was not used to that kind of intensity.

I have never seen Ricky Hatton gas, and suddenly start to fatigue dramatically during a fight. People must understand with Ricky Hatton, psychologically he is a extreme person. In life he does nothing in half measures, weather it be drinking, drugs and boxing.

This side of his psychophysical make up is a strength and a weakness.

But at 33 years of age, and after abusing his body for afew years.

Can Ricky Hatton reignite the machine..? Who knows.

Just look at Ricky Hatton compared to David Haye or Carl Froch. Hatton for 33 does look like somebody who's body has sustained alcohol damage, 33 is not old! But when you abuse you're body, you only have to look at the state of the general population.

They are all finished by the time they are 30, starting to suffer at 40.........

Today's society has a culture of general abuse through alcohol, **** diets, and drugs.

"Ricky Hatton was the poster boy, for all of this. He was the poster boy for beer and coke, at the height of it's power.

Night after night, these people where somewhat inspired by Ricky Hatton. He was one of them, a glimmer of hope in a coke and beer infested orgy.

I used to get people telling me, that they had seen Ricky Hatton out and had lines of coke with him. It almost gave them a sense of pride and recognition, Ricky Hatton played a big cultural part in making drugs and getting smashed almost cool.

Prince Naseem Hamed brought Glamour to boxing, Ricky Hatton brought Rock & Roll. The 60's and 70's was just a Blair for some people, just aload of drugs and sex"

I say lets bring back the good times, the blairs of excitement. We can train hard, and eat good but every once in awhile....................lets just totally lose control!
