Holy shit.
Wasted or what?

[GazOC]

Fuck me, he's leathered!!!

[Losfer_Words]

I see he's already in training.

[safc1990]

:lol::lol:

[GazOC]

I see he's already in training.

He says in the clip that he's been in the err gym, the gym, the know you the boxing gym, and err boxing.....;O)

[doug.ie]

is he drunk..or god forbid, punch drunk ??

[GazOC]

is he drunk..or god forbid, punch drunk ??

He's as punch drunk as a newt!!

[radab]

kinda makes me sad seeing that :(

[trotter]

lol bladdered

Let's not freak out about it though, I know I've been drunk to the point where I can't speak AT ALL before, plenty of times

[Bonavena25]

Been clubbing with Richie Woodhall by the sounds of it as well.

[Losfer_Words]

He says in the clip that he's been in the err gym, the gym, the know you the boxing gym, and err boxing.....;O)

You sure he didn't say he's been on the razz with Jim? Hatton is a mentalist between fights. The funniest thing about this vid is it's one released by himself with all the 'Hatton' logo and everything on it. Officially endorsed Hatton pisshead video exclusive.:?

[El Cepillo]

The guy doesn't live the life. And thats where he's at.

[dan-b]

Those chins are shocking.

[GazOC]

kinda makes me sad seeing that :(


He's OK, if someone stuck a mic in front of me at the end of a night out I wouldn't come across any better....;)

I am surprised Brand Hatton (or whatever its called) released the clip though!!!

[Losfer_Words]

All joking aside, I think it's time he enjoyed his life now. I don't really want to see him box again- he keeps thinking he's got something to prove which really gets at me.

[dan-b]

I am surprised Brand Hatton (or whatever its called) released the clip though!!!

Must have been drunk when he approved it.

All jokes aside though, do you not feel this is where he's, partially, gone wrong in his career?

[slip&counter]

ain't nothing new

[Losfer_Words]

Must have been drunk when he approved it.

All jokes aside though, do you not feel this is where he's, partially, gone wrong in his career?

We can argue that till the cows come home but he's maintained that his style of living between fights is what's kept him going. It's a very odd situation where he needs to make himself a mess between fights to wind down so he can then justify working so hard at the gym- knowing that he can enjoy himself again afterwards.

maybe from a results point of view it hasn't helped but that "image" (genuine or not) has been good for business.

Of his fights he's won all but 2 and of those 2 would he have won either if he didn't like a drink inbetween fights? I doubt it TBH.

All good points but let's say at 23 he was taken to America and given different sparring, different training and a different lifestyle. Could he have been a better fighter? Could someone have grafted better skills onto an already solid foundation?

yeah man. but you can tell he's still devastated over the pac fight. in two brutal rounds his ego was completely crushed. he's a good guy, he didnt deserve to go through that

[GazOC]

Big question mate and I really don't know TBH. My gut reaction is that he's done pretty weill with the skills/ height/ reach etc he's been given. I'm not sure he could have achieved a hell of a lot more, esp. as moving America might have scarificed his ability to build up a fanbase and get him the fights he wanted.

[Losfer_Words]

Had he done that would he have had the huge status and following he has built up though? I think you have to appreciate Hatton for all he is: a normal guy with the heart of a lion, never afraid or one to shirk a challenge and, ultimately, one of the best (not THE best but one of) from these shores. Never an all-time great but was the boss of LWW for the best part of 4 years. He's got nothing more to prove, IMO- he's only lost to, arguably, the best two of his generation and gave it his best. Not a bad CV.

[Losfer_Words]

Gaz, mate- stop stealing my lines before I can type them:lol::patsch.

Many times did he tell us he was in the gym ?
He`s best retiring IMO, he`s fucked.

"great minds.......":lol::good

[dan-b]

No arguments with any of the points made and I totally agree with you about the marketing side of things which has been central to Hatton's success. Let's, for a second, take that side of things away though and look at him from a purely boxing point of view.

Look at his strengths. Good chin, respectable power, good foot and handspeed. Look at his weaknesses. Lack of head movement, smothers his work at times, neglects a game plan at times.

To me the weaknesses are things that could have been corrected. So from that I draw the conclusion that he could have been a much better fighter with the right training.

[kieron]

I wonder if he's been in the gym?

[Guy]

He could be knocking on 40 not 30...

[Losfer_Words]

"great minds.......":lol::good

;):good

I wonder if he's been in the gym?

:lol:Didn't you hear? He's so enthused by his training regime he had to say it more than once.:bbbSeriously though, it's not really fair to shove a camera in his face when he was on the razz.:barf

TBH before the mayweather fight I always though Hatton had a fairly decent boxing brain, he'd made adjustments in quite a few fights and shown he was adaptable but I think theres an argument to say that as he moved up in class his options to adapt became more limited, he had to use that "head in the chest pressure" style against the real world class opponents and when it wasn't working he was fucked.

[djoc175]

I don't think he looked all that pissed in that video,he justs like to repeat himself.There are worse videos of him I'll try find one.

[sitiyzal]

Nothing compared to how he was on the bbc sports personality awards the day after the Mayweather fight.

[MattMattMatt]

Recharging his batteries? With what? Guinness?

[djoc175]

Nothing compared to how he was on the bbc sports personality awards the day after the Mayweather fight.
:lol:Thats the one,can't find it though.Have you got it?

[safc1990]

None of the videos you will find of Hatton will be as good as Andrew Flintoff's interview on the BBC before England played Paraguay at the last World Cup. He literally couldn't speak. :rofl

[djoc175]

:lol:Not seen that.Saw him at 10 Downing Street though

[riggers]

I reckon within 5 years he will be an absolute blimp. Boxing has probably kept him on the rails, he has always said he lets his hair down between fights, i think the training stopped him being like it full time. It will be hard now not to be like it full time as he is used to being pissed when hes not training.

[sitiyzal]

:lol:Thats the one,can't find it though.Have you got it?

Hatton starts at 5m35s. At the time at expected him to start cracking jokes & turning the airwaves blue at any moment

[Mr T.]

watch him pile the weight on. He's finished.

[djoc175]

Cheers for that.
Theres another where he's at the hotel,somewhere backstage of the arena itself,the morning after the fight and he's wearing the same clothes as he is there.You can tell by the way he was saying 'I may have lost tonight'-he obviously didn't sleep since it was the day after
What was McGuigan pissing himself at?:lol:

[Carnage]

I don't get how he can put on so much weight in such short time, must be something like 3 or so stones in a few months, or am i exaggerating here?Surely he should get some award for that?

[thesham01]

and he`ll be wondering why and how he lost both fights; watch that video Ricky and you`ll know

[djoc175]

:lol:Yeah my guess would be around 2 stone,maybe more.I think when you diet like he does when he's in camp it brings the metabolism down,so when you start drinking Guinness and eating takeaways religiously like he does,you pile it on sharpish.Impressive though

[duranimal]

Correct, he actually weakens himself, his whole bio-chemistry is fucked, metabalism is shot 2 bits, the way he's going he'll be type 2 diabetic any day soon if not border line now, he's physically finished as a fighter but his biz commitments i.e brand hatton mean he's commited 2 going out on a public high, he's trapped:dead

Fuck me like I thought he was gonna start crying or something. :roflCheers for that. Oh and funny to seevMcguigan was havin a wee laugh at old hammered hattom

[Nemesis]

Do I detect a vague dig, from Ray Hatton, himself???

[Jeff Young]

thats hatton for you it doesnt suprise me, you can tell he was in the shitter after the pac fight.....looks like a depressed man to me, but can you blame him?

I dont believe he was in the gym.....

Actually hatton's metabloism should be comended.....most people cant take 40 pound off in 3 months, like he can.....thats a gift.....but overtime yo-yoing will catchup to him... i think its weakened him at 140 now......

[GazOC]

I wish, I wouldn't be up at half 5 waiting to go to work!!:lol:

[Evil Rich]

I feel sorry for Ricky, wears his heart on his sleeve and I think it kills him that he was never quite the best and will never be remembered as such, only a great boxer with a massive following. I think this is why he doesn't want to quit but he must see that he will never again get the chance to prove that he is the best and rightly so because he wasn't.

Fight Khan for him, us (those that want to see it) and British boxing then retire Ricky.

Yes but he's what 30ish now? Much harder to do that in your 30s than your 20s.

What I'm worried about with Hatton is what he's going to do when he doesn't have another fight, when he doesn't have that motivation to keep him training. His metabolism is quite clearly fucked and I can see a problem for the guy when his career ends.

It's all well and good saying he should go and enjoy his life but that's the same mentality that left Gazza like he is and killed George Best.

I'm worried about hatton when he is fully done, i dont think he is done, by that interview, i think people around him are urging him to quit when he sarcastically said i go back forth week to week.....

hatton will be huge after he is done....that is not good for anybody, whether your a fighter or not....have you seen gatti lately?....gatti is like hatton but more hardcore, always boozing it up but seemed to get into the strip club and hooker scene.....his lifestyle is like hatton but in overdrive since he has retired...

Wasn't Gatti arrested a couple of months ago for knocking his wife about? I'm pretty sure they found cocaine on him when he was arrested as well.

exactly.....gatti is like a real gangster in new jersey.....

[toffeejack]

It's quite clear to me that stepping back into the ring would be a huge mistake. I said after the Pacquiao fight that he should 100% retire before he gets badly or permanently hurt.

I hope his family and friends do the right thing and do everything possible to make sure he stays retired.

[Tuffnutz]

:lol:

[warrior85]

i hope thats just down to booze

[2tall2slow2]

Just read that Rickys doing a guest appearance at a nightclub near me on Friday. 2 drinks for the price of one. Looks like his session will be ongoing.

[felix]

he's definately got a chin now. a very flabby one at that.

[Danny]

Its just shy of nine weeks since Hatton-Pacquiao. Ricky looks pretty heavy in the clip, heavier than he normally is when he's out of training!

IMO, he did not sound too convincing when pressed on the issue about a comeback. I'm not so sure if Ricky thinks he's heart is in it anymore? He has already said his family was in bits after the Pacquiao so he has that to think about aswell. Must be hard for him, but losing is part of Boxing!

If he does box again, he's going to have to put some serious work in the gym over a period of three months becasue he will have some weight to shift, no doubt about that!

A guy like Freddy Roach would not stand for Ricky being in such condition at the start of a training camp!

[Akxtinguish]

I think if he does fight it should be a farewell for the Mancunians with a soft-hitting opponent (now would have been a good time to bring Malignaggi in) who doesn't end up hurting the guy.

It's the kind of fight that wouldn't be acceptable DURING a career but is reasonable for a last fight.

At the end of the day he was a huge fighter in the North, and among the biggest in the UK as a whole.

Sure, I would have liked to have watched Hatton-Khan or Hatton-Witter, but sometimes it just doesn't happen and I think he should only take those fights if he intends to continue boxing, and not as a farewell.

[Chinny]

There are advantages to pissed up hatton interviews. Sure he stutters a lot more, but he goes easy on third person references. It wasn't 'Ricky Hatton's been in the gym, er the boxing, to be honest Ricky Hatton has been to the gym' now was it?

[djoc175]

Not entirely true.James Toney enters camp around 265lbs I've heard.Saying that,it'd be better to come in shape so you can focus solely on boxing not shifting weight

he wasnt able to pronounce his name !!

[AndrewFFC]

He says in the clip that he's been in the err gym, the gym, the know you the boxing gym, and err boxing.....;O)

Doing a little bit of figh.. boxing.

:lol:

[AndrewFFC]

'In the gym.. in the boxing gym so to speak.'

[Farmboxer]

Hatton is rich.

[DGLASS JAW]

he looks a complete mess....dread to think what state he will end up when retired.

[Betty Swollocks]

he's a fat, ugly cunt.

[safc1990]

he's a fat, ugly cunt.

Just like the fella in your avatar then, except he's much more of a cunt.

[SouthpawSlayer]

Hatton is laughing all the way to the bank though.

[Fat Joe]

Jennifer still loves him

[bratwurzt]

I think he's lost motivation and will stay fat like Hamed.

[T.C.W]

he has got more chins than a chinese phone book.

[icemax]

he has got more chins than a chinese phone book.

That was funny the first time I heard it, and its still funny :good

[rhinocoote]

why are people suprised when they see hatton like this???
he has been the same way between fights throughout his career,hasn't he?.and as for the triple chin,he can grow one of them in a month!

[David UK]

Hatton will go downhill very fast from here on in, in every sense of the word

[FLINT ISLAND]

Hatton will go downhill very fast from here on in, in every sense of the word

I agree

He lives badly

You can tell he is a excessive drinker / junk food eater

But boxing meant that he still had to have a period of discpline and training

Without that - when his boxing career ends - he has got nothing to discpline himself for

And unlike your average guy - he dosent have to stay sober to go to work everyday

He is a rich man - which mean he has got all day and every day to drink himself stupid

The future looks bleak for Hatton

10 years from now he might be a GAZZA type figure

With jennifer and the (future) kids having left him for his drunken ways

[SouthpawSlayer]

bump, from this vid id say he was around 175 to 180, another 5 weeks downthe line to today you could easily add on another 10 to 15 pounds

id say the only exercise he is doing is shagging his missus, in the bed with jeniffer, screwing her so to speak

When's FLINT back?

[Fat Joe]

When's FLINT back?

Never

[achillesthegreat]

He is either drunk or punch drunk. If he isn't drunk, this may need to be the end. He looks in absolutely horrible condition. I like him but it is almost repulsive :-) Missus must be there for the money :-)
