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.

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.
