Hatton question

[Lords Gym]

Truth is Ricky is past his prime ! while he is not all that old at 28, he is in boxing terms, he fights rough hard fights , and has bad habits out of the ring. up and down is whole career making weight.. as a youngster you can get away with it, but over the years it adds up ! Ricky needs to make lifestyle adjustments to accommodate his changing body and mind ! losing 40 F****** pounds in 3 months is taxing to body and the stamina .. James Toney did that for the Jones fight.. Tarver did that for the Hopkins fight… it leaves you empty .. 7 to 10 lb over your fighting weight is expectable walk around weight for a fighter at this level.

Exactly, it has to catch up with you eventually.

I hope he sits up and takes notice now instead of trying to laugh it of with all his Fatton T-Shirts he gets made up for him to show to the press. He might always get down to 140lb no matter what but at this stage in his career I think it is clear that he is leaving way too much of himself in the gym getting there.


He has the rest of his life to live the good life

Agreed ! Hell I am the last person to preach.. I have similar problem.. I love food and drink a little too much also ! . Salads get old... It takes a lot of salads and veggies to equal the pleasure of one juicy Hamburger French fries , and an Ice Cold Beer !
