    he might like look in good shape but being out of the game and blowing up in weight over the last years is going to have a negative effect on his performances

    David Haye, Carl Froch are all in the same age bracket as Ricky Hatton.

    But what's the difference..?

    "Hopefully Ricky Hatton's body has detoxed and recovered, but alcohol does permanent damage to the human body...........plus it's not the only drug Ricky Hatton has been a fan of over the years"

    Alcolhol affects on the brain.

    1. Memory loss, blackouts, and exaggerated states of emotion
    2. Problems with coordination and muscle movement
    3. Depressed nerve centers in hypothalamus that control sexual arousal and performance
    4. Affected heart rate, temperature, and breathing; can lead to unconsciousness and death
    5. Brain shrinkage
    6. Thiamine deficiency, which can lead to Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (mental confusion, paralysis of the nerves that move the eyes, and difficulty with muscle coordination) and Korsakoff’s psychosis (persistent learning and memory problems)
    7. Learning difficulties
    8. Slowing of neurogenesis, of the growth of new brain cells
    9. Sleep impairment, as alcohol decreases REM sleep and sleep apnea
    10. Delirium tremens (a state of confusion accompanied by trembling and vivid hallucinations) from alcohol withdrawal
    11. Peripheral neuropathy, leading to a loss of sensation

    Alcolhol affects on Liver.

    1. Liver failure
    2. Fat accumulation in liver cells
    3. Hepatitis (inflammation and destruction of liver cells
    4. Cirrhosis (scarring and shrinkage of the liver)
    5. Hepatic encephalopathy, a serious brain disorder that can cause changes in sleep patterns, mood, personality, shortened attention span, anxiety and depression, and problems with coordination such as shaking or flapping hands (called asterixis). Some patient
    s can slip into a coma, which can be fatal.

    Alcolhol affects on Bones and Joints.

    1. Leakage of calcium from the bones, which can lead to osteoporosis
    2. Increased joint inflammation related to arthritis, causing more pain
    3. Muscle atrophy, causing sharp muscle pain and weakness

    Alcholhol affects on Blood.

    1. Increased blood clotting abnormalities and anemia
    2. Susceptibility to bleeding and bruising
    3. Impaired white blood cell function, lowering immune system

    1. Heart disease and heart attack
    2. High blood pressure
    3. Enlarged heart (cardiomyopathy)
    4. Irregular or rapid heartbeat
    5. Coronary artery disease

    Alcolhol affects on Lungs.

    1. Increased fluid accumulation in the lungs
    2. Pneumonia, lung collapse, and other pulmonary infections

    Alcolhol affects on Skin.

    1. Dehydration of skin, which can lead to broken or distended capillaries, especially over the nose and cheeks
    2. Widening of blood vessels near the surface of the skin, causing a loss of heat from the body
    3. Depletion of vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy complexion

    Alcolhol affects on kidneys.

    1. Kidney failure, which affects regulation of fluids and electrolytes in body

    Alcolhol affects on pancreas.

    1. Reduced amount of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas, which inflames and leaks digestive enzymes that attack the pancreas

    Alcolhol affects on reproductive system.

    1. Decreased sperm production and testosterone in men due to decreased sex hormone secretion
    2. Decreased estrogen metabolism in the liver, which boosts estrogen levels and can contribute to menstrual irregularities and infertility

    1. Ulcers
    2. Gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining)
    3. Acid reflux
    4. Intestinal bleeding

    I wish Hatton all the best, but like I've said before, I don't think this comeback will end well.

    I worry his punch resistance has gone and people forget that he was taking punishment against Lazcano before the Pacquiao KO, the signs were there.

    It's not going forward that is going to be the problem in his come back, they say power is the last thing to go and I am sure he can still dig and still throw decent combinations. The problem is going to be his punch resistance when being hit, as was previously mentioned he was taking serious punishment against Lazcano and Collazo as well who were never A level world class fighters and was close to being stopped against them. That was 5 years ago and all he has done is get very fat and very pissed since then.

    All the weight loss is just going to go against him, he can't expect to spend 3 years doing everything you shouldn't be doing and then come back as a new man, I hope I am wrong but I just foresee this ending very badly.

    Dayum that 'Alcholhol' stuff sounds dangerous. Think I'll just stick to the booze.
     
  8. :lol: It's even scarier with the typos because you know he went off the cuff.

    That's no copy & paste job, that's pure KOOL.
     
  9. Looking like 'a recovering addict' is a little harsh...

    He loved a drink and did some sniff - I don't think he was a fully fledged drug addict at any point anyway.

    The clean living would have given his body a much needed rest and i think Hatton still has something to offer i really do. The body does repair itself and i think three years is a good long rest.

    He was never a drug addict so i don't think the damage is done and thats him ****ed now. He will still be able to compete at a high level, i really don't think he'll get found out or anything like that.

    He has abused himself for 3 years, what are you about..?

    He has abused his body for way over a decade.

    "It was a incredible feat for him to constantly get himself into immense condition for every single fight!"

    He looks in great shape. Hopefully he can make 140.

    He's fighting at welter now anyway I don't think he'd get down to 140 again without being seriously drained.

    or he's deluded about his real level?
    Hatton was never good at learning his lessons, too much ego.

    he looks normal in the picture, but even if he shows up in perfect cosmetic shape, I see him getting banjoed in this ill-fated comeback.
