    it's really frighting how hatton drinks himself silly, it makes me think that he may turn out like gazza and God forbid something happens to him in the ring, because it would really hurt the sport. his over drinking will put him in danger in the ring of serious injury.

    Nah........ totally different

    Gazza was a non-stop drinker/alcoholic

    Hatton likes a beer in a similar manner to most of the population

    Wont happen at all. Gazza had mental problems from when he was a kid. He suffered from depression and other illnesses. Hes also obsessive compuslsive. Thats why he drank so much, to ease the pain but it send him off the rails. He should of been diagnosed and helped a looong time ago. Its sad that he didnt go to United because Fergie said he would of sorted him out n got him help.

    I cant see anything like what happened to Gazza happening to Hatton. Hattons a happy go lucky guy with no problems. Most likley he will just become a jolly fat guy.

    Gazza had mental problems since his youth.

    He used to go boozing the day before matches as well. Hatton is pretty disciplined when it comes to things like that. He would have gone off the rails before now.

    What is suprising is that you never catch him in trouble, considering the amount of boozing he does.

    my point was what effect will all that booze have on his punch resistance and will it lead to possible damage

    "Ricky Hatton= Gazza in the making!"

    :roll:

    I'm sure drinking a lot can't be good for him, but neither is being punched in the head. He shouldn't do it to excess really, a lot of boxers have boozed heavily though - Duran, Tyson.... Scott Harrison... (perhaps the latter two support your argument lol... but both had other issues...)

    Gazza was an alchie with other mental problems. Hatton unless I'm mistaken, just likes a pint. Theres a massive difference between the two.

    Its thought that it might shorten his career but he trains properly for each fight and theres no proof that the bad eating and drinking between training camps will affect him in the ring. Only time will tell.

    Cant see what the big deal is. Hatton is a typical northern slob who likes nothing more than a beer a bender and a curry. His hardly Paul Gascoigne though.
