    Whose limelight are they grabbing? Which deserving cases are being shaded from the limelight because Ricky Hatton is boxing an exhibition.

    Barrera would still iron out Hatton and his son even now.

    There's no way throughout his career he wasn't doing DNP, Clen etc, this is just not feasible naturally in such a short time even with an ultra-strict diet and hard exercise

    Absolutely doable since I've done it more than once.

    Yeah it's very easy to lose 2lbs a week without even being that hard core.

    Good for him for getting out of his morbidly obese phase but still zero interest in seeing him fight. His last comeback was sad. This is just old men trying to relive their youth. Not for me.

    Me too - the problem being, I regress and end up having to do it again... In the 2020 lockdown I shifted more weight than that in 12 weeks.

    Aye same I also used to regress, almost always because of the drink. Now I only drink on Saturdays, problem with this though is that I always end up absolutely wankered.

    If that was the case Ricky would have been putting weight on not trying to lose it

    I personally think it's great that Ricky is coming back for an exhibition fight.

    It's no secret that Ricky likes a drink and sometimes more.

    Having this fight in the pipeline has given him a goal. He has lost a lot of weight and got in great shape.

    How can that possibly be a bad thing?

    Forgot this fight is happening on Saturday. Just seen it's on sky sports so will give it a watch. Was a big fan of both Hatton and Barrera back in the day so will be interesting to see how they look in the ring .
