Hatton struggling with a virus fight goes on!

[Preme]

there aint fuck all wrong with him. In the last 3 fights they were making the excuses after he got beat or looked shit (i;m not including a shot castillo btw) and people started to get sick of it. So now they put the rumor out before hand incase he looks wank so they have a reason again for it.

Collazo - stepped up in weight to soon - ok first one we give him the benefit of the doubt.

Urango - Some Virus again then, something to do with the AC in the hotel?

Castillo - shot, who gives a shit?

Mayweather - The ref cost him the fight, not the fact Mayweather made him look out of his depth and toyed with him most of the night before Kayoing him.

I am sick of the shit coming out of this camp and Hatton him self. UP untill and including the Tszyu fight i liked hatton, was still cool with him to the mausa fight, but after that this guy really has gone down hill IMO, as a person and as a 'sports man'

Doesn't keep him self in shape and IMO you are shitting on you're own fans by doing that.

If he Doesn't look great out come the excuses one after another...

Suffers one loss and whines like a bitch, oh he trys to act humble but they have pinned his loss on the ref and other reasons, not once admitting out and out he lost SOLY because he wasn't (and imo never ever will be) in mayweathers league.

After taking loss, and with all his exp he takes a piss poor fight and claims it's "to give back to the fans" - yeah if you really care about the fans then why the fuck do people have to pay £20 (about $40) to watch u fight some second rate fighter with a shit undercard? No skin of my back personaly, £20 isn;t anything to me, hell iv prolly left more £20 notes rolled up on the back of some toilet in a pub than i have spent on PPV's But there are a tonne of people out there, kids being raised by single mums, people who can't find work whom would love to watch a hatton fight live, but get fucked by the PPV... This isn't a PPV rant, you gotta except it for a major bout, but when this joker covers up his shit apponent by claiming it was for the fans, for his homecoming fight then lets it go PPV then he is now well and turly IMO full of shit.

The pre-fight excuses for a less than impressive performance have already strarted

[Fenster]

Lazcano is picked to make Hatton look good and obviously because he has no-chance.

Hatton takes a few a liberties in training knowing it's a gimme.

All of a sudden as the fight looms he doesn't look so hot and they start not fancying the job, so they get the excuses in just in case he does a Urango and knackers half-way through.

Interesting.

Ricky gets a cold or flu before every fight.

Why?

Because he allows himself to baloon out of shape, kills himself in training and weakens his immune system.

How exactly

Why on gods earth should it matter just one bit whether ricky puts on weight outside of the ring??

Joe calzaghe is known to shoot up 200 odd pounds between fights and nobody says a word about that - hatton is a naturally big lad who fights at 140 because it suits him not because he has to.

So the man likes a drink every other day - so does about 95% of the british population.

Ricky knows with what he has to go through between fights that he only has another 2-3 years in the profesional game. When the time comes that hatton cant make a weight then i`ll criticise.

Until then though and argument over what he does is neither ethically or morally correct

[Memphis]

Hatton said after struggling with Vilches and Urangotang that he would not go through with a fight if he was ill, just goes to show how much of a sham this 'fight' is.

Witter should come out and say that he was sick. Watch the Hatton faithfull bite their lips until Hatton gets by Lazcano before taking a shot at him.

The only way his immune system would be weak is if he had severley over-trained. If he had severley over-trained for every fight, his in the ring perfromance would be absolutely awful everytime he fought. This obviously isn't the case.

I know his lifestyle isn't ideal but to say thats the reason he gets cold or flu isn't very factual.

I also find it hard to believe that Kerry Kayes would allow him to over-train.

I can only think of two recent occassions where he has been ill before a fight. Against Urango and now.

When you consider that his training camp is 12 weeks long and he has 2 fights per year, this equals 24 weeks of training. 24 weeks without a cold would be pretty exceptional (or lucky) by anyone's standards.

When you consider that the average person has between 3-4 colds per year, it's very hard to prove that his lifestyle has anything to do with him catching Colds.

Interestingly the most common time to catch a cold is between September and May. He fought Urango in January and the Lazcano illness will most likely have started in late April.

He sheds a minimum of 26 pounds coming into every fight and has to dehydrate himself before every weigh in. It may not be over training, but it would have a similar effect.
You can see how gaunt he is at every weigh in.

And I actually feel he hasn't performed to his optimum since the Tszyu fight

Yeah good post; short and right to the heart of the matter. Donny said in another post Hatton trains as hard as anyone in camp: well he has to considering his lifestyle.

It's just like overweight people who go from one diet to the next, back and forth, lose weight gain weight. Very hard on the body. A consistent lifestyle is much healthier, especially in the long run when Ricky retires.

Thanks Legion appreciated.

The fact is a fighter has to train for dual purposes.
1) To develop his skills, fitness and stamina.
2) To make weight.

If a fighter maintains his weight between fights, stays in good shape and allows himself effective rest he will be able to return for his next training camp, with less weight worries and more time for training his skills, stamina etc.
I don't feel that it is coincidental that we have seen Hatton baloon between fights and then employ a basic plan in all his fights and seemingly running low on his once endless supply of stamina.

Ricky has already suffered because of his lifestyle.
However, he did not blow up much after Mayweather I have to admit.

Can't imagine that happening seen as though he got sparked in his last fight.

I know it sounds crazy and fighters are supposed to be super-human and all that, but he might just have actually been ill.

Remeber he had a cold sore on his lip before Mayweather and indeed before Castillo?

He get's very run down in the last few weeks of his training. He was genuinely ill before Urango, Castillo and Collazo and thats for certain.
