    First name that springs to mind for me being a British boxing fan and following Hatton over the years.

    He'd balloon up after every fight and although once in camp he would graft like a ****ing lunatic with Kerry Kayes handling the S&C / Weight cut..... it would've most certainly impacted his career. Pretty much every camp started out as a "fat camp" and that lifestyle will only take fights and additional years off your career.

    Gerry Cooney was so distracted with the power of his left hook that he could only unleash it on people that were ready for the nursing home
