    i said hatton is 3 stone overweight (slight exageration, more like 2)not 3 stone over his fighting weight, at 5 '7 hatton should weight between 130 and 150 lbs without being considered overweight,

    thats a rough estimate from an observation, he weighed 152 fight night add 3 stone to that and calculate bmi, by using height 5 foot 7, and weight say 152 plus the 3 stone = 42 pounds, is 194

    his bmi will surely say he is obese, work it out google it, bmi is a dodgy subject as a bodybuilder has huge msucle mass but the bmi scale will say he is obese however this is the opposite for a boxer as their muscle mass is usually quite low due to muscle degradation through weight loss so hattons muscle mass is limited to the capabilities of 140 pounds he is severly obese at this moment in time

    I don't think Hatton is in as bad shape as people think,he just has a huge fat head and face.

    SS,why does it matter?I mean it's up to him what he does.Like he said himself,if he had to live healthy like he does in camp all year round,then he would have retired long ago,then you wouldn't have got to talk **** about him over the internet

    So we guess his weight from some photos and a YouTube clip and then get the BMI? This nutritionist racket is easy isn't it?;)

    EDIT: And as djoc says, who cares? Its his life and he's done pretty well out of it.

    yeah piece of ****, come on its not hard to estimate a persons weight, well for me its not i use to do it all the time with fat clients i had, too embarrassed to ask how fat they were i mean how much they weighed

    yeah true im sick of this hatton can binge all he likes and yeah he has done very very well out of it, a little bit of exercise wouldnt kill though, maybe he should run down the boozer and do dumbell snatches with kebabs instead of just walking and eating

    They say "a camera adds 10 lbs" and Hatton must have had a least 4 or 5 pointing at him when those pictures were taken so he's probably a little underweight if anything.....;O)

    You had clients who paid your wages and you are now talking about them like that! You claim Hatton is a disgrace because of his lifestyle when he is not training. Well you are a disgrace for disrespecting your former clients in such a way.
    If you really are a nutritionist you should be 100% aware of the problem many people face keeping thier weight under control.
    True there are some who are overweight because they eat too much bad food. But there are also many who only need to eat a lettuce leaf and they put on a stone!! You arguments are based on throwing insults at anyone who doesn't agree with you (apart from Gaz who by now is desperately trying to prize your nose out of his arse).
    You sir are a fool.
    And before you start I am not overweight. :good

    If Hatton intents to have one more fight then as bizarre as it sounds then I dont have an issue with him being this big. But when he decides to retire he needs to be at his fighting weight IMO. If he has one more he needs to realise that after the fight he needs to tone down his lifestyle so he can stay relatively fit. If he is getting back to shape for one more then he's ok but if he's not having another fight then he's gonna struggle getting any motivation to lose that weight as he has no 'end goal'
