    Ricky Hatton is having the time of his life, if i go to manchester......i will have afew pints with him, and join in and go on a massive bender with him.

    Ricky Hatton went on benders like this during his WBU days, and prime years..........he's the peoples champion still.

    Ricky Hatton is loaded and is doing good buisness wise still. Ricky Hatton doses not even spend that much money compared to Floyd Mayweather or some other boxers. He does not waste his money on cars, or body guards............

    Hatton is not stupid, i don't feel sorry for him. Unliek George Best and Gazza, Ricky Hatton is a astute buisness man. He's still making money now, generated from his buisnesses.........

    Well, that's what I said, so I don't know why you're arguing with me. I stated that I think Hatton will probably be OK, did you actually read what I wrote?

    Still, only time will tell though, you don't know, no more than anyone knows, how Hatton will deal with excessive drinking and drug use (if he decides to carry it on, through his 30s, 40s, 50s).

    What we do know however, is about the many boxers and other sportsmen who have struggled once they've left the game.

    Best thing you can do with Mr Kool is just agree with him Jon, he never listens to a word any of us says, its all just about him.

    So agree with what he says like I do, it keeps him happy.

    I like the guy, hes a charismatic poster who is interesting to read. His only downfall is that he preaches instead of discussing things, hes just too into being the Kool character instead of just being himself.

    Hatton is not stupid you say??? What is he doing on the front page of a sunday rag with powder up his hooter, the guy is a FUUUUCKIN BELLEND. Also, he seems to have gotten away with having some woman in his room, he must have been trying to fuuck her for sure, nothing wrong with that, but his other half must want to cut his dick off.

    The guys a clown, he aint no people champion, you must be hoovering up the **** as well to have this kind of attitude, right??

    he can **** himself as far as Im concerned now.

    I lived with a cokehead who moved onto being a crackhead about 18 months after we split, the crap I put up with, the lies, theft ( into the thousands), mood swings, and deceit were disgusting, a social drug .. my arse, it turns normal people on a night out into egotistical wankers.. and in my case ruined a pretty young girls life.

    the circles I have moved in Ive been offered so much free coke its untrue, but Id rather pull pins out of my eyes than touch the stuff, and as for "everyone" doing it .. Id say probably 40 -50% of 20-40 year olds are at it, so that aint "everyone" I have mates who sell it, mates who use it, and I see the effects at close quarters.. it might be seen as an acceptable drug .. it just aint for me

    Spot on my cousin lost an arm doing that shite and other stuff. Ricky obviously needs help but going to the papers like she did who needs enemies when you have so called friends like that.
