Ricky Hatton planning to move up to cruiserweight

[Snakefist Ar Fu]

Briliant, he looks like he's eaten Manny Pac in a revenge fueled binge. He just reminds me of Duran now and Morales, they are both huge now too...... It does dissapoint me to see one of my favourite boxers so overweight and so far away from being an athlete.... Plain greed hey....

He has never been a healthy person with his drinking lifestyle. He stopped training and it caught up with him. I hope he decides to give up boxing for good. He has had a great career and only lost to the best pound for pound fighters. He has made his mark in boxing but I dont think he has anything else to offer. I think he has been burning the candle at both ends with hard training and hard drinking. His health is suffering for it.

AH yes, out come the excuses. he stopped training so PAC knocked him out. uh huh.

He got totally outclassed when he stepped up to top tier is what happened.

He could move to cruiser fight manny again at jr welter and will still get knocked the fuck out if he keeps his hands down again.

He could fight him with his hands up and he'd still get ktfo.

Wow getting knocked out by the top p4p fighters = more money = more food = more alcohol and a whole lot more of Ricky Hatton than I'd like to see. Whats next? He will probably retire for a couple of years and come back and get knocked out by whoever is the next number 1 p4p and balloon up to 300 when its all over with. P.S Ricky its been fun but stick to the buffet and promoting and call it a career and enjoy being a family man because you can't keep doing this to yourself.

Yeah, and he'll say that he tried a comeback and only got beat by the best.

Jesus! He looks like some fat look-alike I bet he has 2 passports, one fat and one thin

[jamiebhoy]

I don't have a problem with him looking the way he does if he's retired. I do lose respect for him as an athlete when he thinks he can get away with this when he obviously can't , it borders on arrogance and then he would expect the fans to fork out good money to watch him again.

I see someone mentioning that others blow up between fights but carry it better, could that be because theirs isn't all based on pies and beers.

Hatton all bundled up outside the pub. You like that mattboxingfan?

Im talking about now. Not before the Pac fight. Your quick to jump in there when your beloved pac man is mentioned.
Hatton did get totally outclassed but he has had much harder punches thrown at him before that. I believe that a career of getting hit in the face has weakened his punch resistance. That other than his balls out approach was the only thing going for him.

Well, it's nothing new really. I can't help but feel that Hatton is done now anyway. There are no announcements on the horizon, and what with being over 30 and never really been one for watching the diet, you would imagine the time to hang them up has come. If he isn't wanting to fight yet, then the fire has surely burned out.
