Thread: Ricky Hatton look a little...drained?

I like the Burger King shirt

Was just thinking that myself mate
He does look dangerously thin imo but his pre fight fry up will have him back to normal in minutes

I honestly don't recall seeing him look like that ever before.

jesus - am quite shocked looking at these

saw him on tv 3 months or so back looking a right porker

I don't either, its kind of like he will "weigh" 140 pounds but he won't be 140 pounds, something like that but, it just doesn't look "right" or something you know?

I don't like the way he looks, plus urango is a monster, hatton may be getting into some bad shyt.

hatton is big for a 140pounder he shouldn't be stressing to stay at 140. yea he didn't look good at 147 but I think his scared to stay at 147 that's why he move back down. he wants to take advantage of him being naturally bigger for 140pounder but him draining and stressing to reach 140 limit prolly is gonna bite him back in the ass.

Yeah his last fight was at 147 I don't think its a good idea for him to go and actually train to be 147 pounds regardless of what and then just go back to 140 thats taxing on your body, Ricky may have taken 3 years out of his career

I hear the concern guys, but he only trained for 6 weeks to be 147lb.

Apparently this is only 24 hours after a 11hour flight and a big time adjustment.

He'll be cool come fight night

his body doesn't look right to me man

Yeah, Hatton's never looked like a pale white ghost before. What's with all these early excuses already?

Yeah... loosing an unhealthy amount of weight (fat or muscle) in a short time will do that to you...

All boxers are heavier outside of training... but fitness is a lifestyle... not a period of it... ballooning up so fat between bouts is hurting Ricky... always the same crap... I'm fine... look how easy I can make the weight... but it doesn't work like that... It's a long term thing... you cna only do what he does for so many years... he's shortening his career big time.

He's big for 140 any way... he should actually train to be a 147 fighter... that's what he actually is.

Yeah but the big mistake was actually training to it and fought at it and then goes back this next fight, thats a big mistake imo. Cause I dunno, but his body don't seem right even if it wasn't all muscle or whatever he fought and weighed 147 pounds fighting and his body can get used to that but then cutting weight not too long after. People can say what they want about him going up in weight the wrong way, he is sure coming down in weight the wrong way and it will effect his stamin and his legs, he was even fading late in the Collazo fight and Ricky was his greatest in the last rounds and if his condition wasnt par to the Collazo fight pushing it to make 140 isn't gonna make it any better, and one of his strengths is overpowering and bullying and imposing his will, if he doesn't have his power or legs or stamina to do that to Urango who loves to fight within that distance this could be an upset...

His fight's not for another 10 days. Why'd they take him down so light this early? Strange. Not that any of it will matter against a shit fighter like Urango.

CC aDAM gb,took the words out of my mouth. Ricky balloons too much in between fghts,that will catch up to him and he is jumoing from 140 to 147 back to 140 again,there is only so much strain a body can take regardless of how dedicated you are. I agree he looks...different somehow,not as muscular or something...but he does reportedly look really good in sparring,which is a good thing.

True that. If Ricky Hatton decided to become a crack whore a couple weeks before fighting Urango I'd still favor him. I know everyone likes to create a little drama, but it was Hatton's decision to go back down AND to fight a bum named Urango. No excuses if he doesnt win in good fashion.

I don't think he looks too bad. His face is where the stress of losing weight is showing the most. I like his shirt though, lol he's got a good sense of humor about himself!
