I know what u are saying he could end up like jake lemotta. But if hatton likes a drink and it lets him relax. I mean you can't all be the perfect athlete like mayweather can u. I am not saying that what hatton is doing is right but if u look at some sports stars to like a drink and be good, u can look at George best one of the most talented footballers ever and babe ruth.
Totally agree. What I hate more is the way the tabloids make him a hero because of it, documenting his drinking habits in some diary like badge of honour.
I know what u are saying but they slated gazza for doing it. Dan-B I know this is off topic and u being from watford any news on bangura being deported back to serria leione?
The signs were there against Collazo, and possibly even prior to that His stamina was still questionable against Mayweather. That wasn't the Ricky Hatton that I saw at his peak, not giving Tszyu a minutes rest. Mayweather is a much better fighter, but Hatton couldn't keep up the workrate that he set in the early rounds, where he was doing ok
What type of binging has Hatton been on since losing to Mayweather? How many Guiness a week? Seriously, I'd like to know.
Yeah so why are they not slating Hatton for it? Yeah he's been allowed to stay while he applies for a work permit so should be a formality. The whole thing was a farce. They're quite happy for us to keep paying for old Hook Hand Abu Hamsa to be imprisoned & give benefits to his family but not let someone who has contributed to our society & lived here most of his life stay. Anyway....
A tune-up fight is not for physical advancement. It is for psychological recovery. Now it depends on how Hatton's mindset was affected by his recent loss. If he is emotionally affected and distressed because of the loss he might need one. If his level of confidence is as high as ever then it's not needed.
Very true. Abu hamza should be extradited to america and spend a few years in guantanemo see how long his preaching last there twat! The hatton question I would not know maybe because the tabloids have double standards.
I don't see Ricky as being someone that would let one loss against the p4p #1 haunt him He looked fine after the fight, joking around His physical condition is more of a concern...
PM could be the tune up lol. Although I disagree with many on the forum saying he doens't have many fights in him. I'm pretty sure he does, most of the time people dont have m any more fights in them if they just keep getting beat up. Ricky hasn't really been beat up too bad over the years and his future opponents don't figure to beat him up too bad either.
