In some cases that can be said but for this fight IMO Ricky is just taking it seriously and not letting himself get into Ricky Fatton mode....right now with him being so close to 147 he can play around with his diet a bit...not starve himself or risk dehydration leading up to the bout...actually eat like a human being up until a week before the fight,,,,more then likely making him stronger.....Ricky is taking this one SERIOUS!!! perhaps like no bout since the Tszyu one...good for him...I still have to pick Floyd ( who is NEVER out of shape even in off time)...but I will be rooting for Hatton
Nice post Daxx. I've been thinking through his training that Ricky hasn't taken some of his fights seriously in the past. I think he suffers from the same thing that Calzaghe does, in the fact that he sometimes can't get motivated for the fight.

Calzaghe couldn't be bothered and laboured to a win against Bika, and Hatton couldn't be bothered and laboured to a win again Urango.

For this one (like calzaghe vs Kessler) he knows that this is the biggy! This is the fight that will define his career. This one is serious and he is motivates!!!

Foooooooking Come on Hatton!
