It isn't the most exciting topic in the world, but I thought it neccessary to counter the idea that the bored, multi millionaire, post boxing boxer has nothing else to do but get depressed and turn to drugs. In this sense it is a move way from the whole shock, revelatory "Hatton takes drugs" topic. We know that, now we are seeing excuses for his so called 'lapses'. That's what the thread is about.

It's such a corny line. It's a stereotype rather than anything else. I mean don't most working class men with no money also get drunk and take drugs? What's their excuse? People make their own choices in life, to put it all down to "a boxer gets empty therefore they turn to this and this and because of this...ect". I find that a very hollow justification all in all.

You made your choice, move on. No need for any bollocky justifications.
