Power ballads suck balls.
As for Hatton, who is to say that his lifestyle outside of the ring didn't inform who he was in the ring? Maybe if he hadn't been the person of extremes, he would have been the same buzzsaw who would never take a backwards step even if it meant walking through five punches to land one.
That is one thing that has bothered me a little bit in the million autopsies of Hatton's career that have taken place since Saturday - the idea that the person inside the ring and the person outside of the rig are discreet entities. I'm not certain that is always the case.
That's not to excuse the way Hatton lived, it undoubtably took a massive toll on his body and mind, but maybe it couldn't have been any other way.
I dunno, just musing...
