I have no problem with drinking, none at all, all my mates do, i mean i dont care, but young people gotta do it too excess, and they jus look stupid.
We were out in a club the last night, this girl comes up whispers in my ear "if u get me in il go home with you," i tell her get lost. My cousin tells me the next mornin the girl is 16!!!! I ask him how he new she was talkin to me, he goes "aaaaaahhhh..i didn pass her up on that offer."

I doubt very much that any kids growing up have been influenced to do so by Ricky Hatton mate, most probably don't know who he is and would much more likely get their role models from the worlds of pop and rap.

50 Cent, Tupac, Amy Whinehouse, Lilly Allen, Pete Docherty and the like are kids rolemodels nowadays.

If only kids these days were just into drinking
My point is that the contingent of kids who do participate in boxing in Britain will be lookin upto one of three/four guys namely, Ricky, Joey C, Junior Witter and Enzo MAC. These kids could be potential health freaks but when they see their idol goin out and doin the dog on it, they'll think wow if the world champ can do it and be fit so can we.
Like i said its a small contingent that decide to box, just dont want to see those numbers diminished more by alcohol and substance abuse.
Mate he likes the odd beer and a pork pie he's hardly a bad role model

I can't think of hardly anyone who is more clean cut than Ricky really. Compare him with other sporting stars like Freddie Flintoff, Phil Tufnel and any professional footballer and he's practically a saint. No scandalous revelations, no hit and runs or drink driving convictions, no failed drug tests, no roastings of young teen girls.

He just likes a beer and a plate of chips when he's not training. I've never seen any articles with him trashing pubs or abusing hotel staff.

I doubt he's any different to you mate. He hardly looks like he's abused his body or wasted his talent either does he? George Best was a bad role model, Ricky Hatton is a great one imo.
