Christ ricky looks fat already.

Please, Put a sock in it. Same old bla bla bla. He's been doing it all his career. He outclassed a good boxer (who probably has a very good lifestyle) in every department. Give him a break and look forward to his next fight.

 

I don't think Ricky is ever in as bad shape as he looks.

He just has a fat, ugly face which doesn't carry weight very well and makes him look very puffy. Doesn't help that he wears clothes two sizes too big for him either.

 

:yep:yep:yep:yep:yep

 

Money isn't important but lack of money is. That's the best way to view things. Unless you revert to living on a farm and becoming self sufficient, basically reverting back to how we lived a few hundred years ago, we need a certain amount of money to survive. What money brings is power and opportunity so from that pov it's very important.

 

Yeah I know, that to a degree, it is important:good

I was just having a wee go at the guy who said he wouldn't mind being a waster with such-and-such amount of money in the bank (in the context of the Ricky Hatton conversation); I just didn't like that attitude.

But who am I to tell people how to live their lives; I'll let it lie next time.

 

That isn't normal.

 

how many boxers or ex boxers on here can't say hattons style is exciting.
to me in his fight against kosta,he was punch perfect,head and feet movement was perfect,turning on the ropes,perfect,body punching ,perfect,thats what wore down one of the best P4P boxers of our generation.even at 35 he would of beat anyone out there at the time at the weight.
And thats all from a fat ,pie eating ,beer swilling northern ******.not bad in my humble opinion

 

Thats corny cliched BS.It can;
If a person cant make themselves happy with great wealth,there is something very wrong.A month in Bavaria would make me very happy right now.Can i do it?Can i fuk.
You can afford to indulge yourself in anything that makes you happy,ergo happiness.
Moreover,you have a far,far greater chance of getting the girl of your dreams if you're loaded.
All the Footie wags wouldnt be with the guys if they werent rich footballers,yet if you asked them,they would swear blind that they truly love the guy.Its totally conditional,but they virtually brainwash themselves into loving them.


edit;:huhjeez,i really went into one there.What the hell was that all about?

 

Ive never had a big regard for money myself Mac.Ive turned down opportunities in the past because i dont take it seriously enough.Its not a conscious ethical choice,just the way im wired up.
Im probably too far the other way TBH.

 

It's been said for years that Ricky's lifestyle outside the ring will catch up with him inside the ring. In reality though, he's been a pro for over 11 years and is a 46 fight veteran and at the very top of the light welterweight division.

That would still be good going if he lived like Bernard Hopkins or PBF. I say good luck to the guy.

 

If you're saying its not your God Mac,fine,mine either.
But to say it cant buy you **** is wrong.A house,holidays,car,woman etc of your choice is what you can buy.
If i was a millionaire i would be on an exotic beach now with a dollybird and unlimited booze.
Would it make me happy?You know what,i think it probably would.

 

Agreed, but who out there at this weight was a great fighter ? hattons the best no doubt,but zoo was sliding at that stage!

 

Don't get me wrong SD; it was just a bit of a drunken philosophical rant (money bought me those beers...those beers made me happy...therefore I'm a bit of a hyporcite).

What I meant was in the end, when your laying on your death bed, and all that you have to look back on in your life is booze, sex and general physical wealth; I don't think that is life well lived. Fun and happiness are two very different things; generally money gives you the chance to have more "fun"; I don't think it can truly make you "happy" (that has more to do with the person you are, and the affect that you have on those around you and that they have on you).

Remember fight club: "the things you own end up owning you". Its such a true statement, and its a violent spiral; once you make money the goal in your life, you can never have enough of it; there is always an excuse to try and accumulate more; usually you give up on your own aspirations and transfer energy to your kids, convincing yourself that you are doing it for them, that you are leaving them a good inheritance; but, you're really only betraying yourself.

I'm smart enough to realise that I'm still not smart enough; knowledge is my god.

Money or glory? Its going to sound trite, but it has to be glory every time.
