I wish the 140 Division had some bigger names in it

Hatton prolly wont be the same fighter again, people needs to realise a loss like the one he had against mayweather can change a fighter for life, plus there are rumor he is currently in a pub near you pissed out of his head singing "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor. Lets wait and see what happens, i myself am not convinced he can get back up to the level he once was, he threw everything into that fight against mayweather and got spanked.

I agree with that. Let's see how he looks in next fight or so. Some fighters never return to their old form after a knockout loss, or a bad beating. It could be mental or physical reasons. Not saying this will happen to Ricky, I'm just curious to how he looks in his next couple of fights.

I think that Hatton will come back stronger at 140 lbs precisely because the loss against Mayweather was at Welterweight (which has become something of a bogeyman for him). He has a justification for his loss and he can put it behind him, especially once he takes a relatively easy fight (sorry Gavin Rees, I think you're up **** creek!) and smashed his opponent up.

I reckon Witter will be the toughest fight at 140 too, because Witter is an ugly ugly fighter. While I don't think it will be as one sided as the Maussa fight (Ricky won every single round with Maussa's best combination being a headbutt in the eye followed by another headbutt in the other eye) I think it'll have much the same result.

You could be right. We have seen things like that happen so often before and there is no doubt that Hatton's lifestyle will catch up with him sooner or later. Let's just hope it's later.

Be proud of your guy

good looks my new backround

[lyrical]

Ricky Hatton has a really good sense of humour maybe he could go into comedy or something

[.Mik.]

I'll always be proud of what Ricky achieved and I appreciate a thread like this admitting that there is no shame in losing to Mayweather. He put up a good fight, was not in his comfort zone and suffered a painful loss. If he comes back stronger from it, my respect for Ricky will go up even further.

Ricky Hatton's holiday booze blitz
Exclusive by Stephen Moyes 02/01/2008

Ricky Hatton at bar

Ricky Hatton took a hammering in his world title fight - so for the New Year he decided to get hammered again.

Over four days in Tenerife, the boxing hero dubbed the Hitman drained Spain with a binge that would have floored all opponents.

At the end of his titanic booze bout Ricky, 29, had sunk 57 pints, 17 vodka and Red Bulls, four vodkas, three whisky chasers, and a bottle of Moet champagne.

But, displaying the scars from last month's Las Vegas welterweight defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jnr, he was still standing.

Vowing to the Mirror that his fighting career was not over, he declared: "You'll see me again in the ring. Unfortunately I lost in Vegas but that's the end of it."

Then the multi-millionaire joked: "A few more drinks and I won't remember anyway!"

Ricky decided to see out 2007 on a high by staying with girlfriend Jennifer Dooley, 26, in his new apartment in Tenerife's party capital of Playa de Las Americas. Despite his fortune, Ricky mixed it with holidaymakers in popular downtown bars such as Lineker's, The Dubliner and Blaydon Races.


Everywhere, fans begged to buy him a drink. Bar staff waved away his attempts to pay.

Round One began on Friday. Ricky downed six pints of lager near his flat. He then sank another three lagers, six pints of Guinness and five vodka and Red Bulls in Tramp nightclub.

Round Two the next day saw Ricky supping another six lagers in preparation for a night out at The Dubliner.

There, he polished off seven pints of Guinness, two pints of rum and the alcopop WKD, three whisky chasers, and three vodka and Red Bulls.

Before the boxer finally stumbled into a taxi at 3am, a witness said: "He was bladdered, totally blotto - but still an absolute gent."

Round Three on Sunday saw Ricky, of Stockport, despatch five pints of lager in various bars during the day. Then he whiled away the evening at Blaydon Races aided by five pints of Guinness, five vodka and Red Bulls and two vodkas.

Round Four on New Year's Eve had to be something special. Ricky limbered up with six pints of lager, a huge burger and extra large chips.

Two seats, guarded by bouncers, were reserved at Blaydon Races. Ricky and Jennifer arrived at 10pm to an impromptu chorus from revellers of Blue Moon, the Manchester City anthem which the fighter enters the ring to. The hero then settled in to seven pints of Guinness followed by four pints of rum and WKD.

I joined him for a beer as he put on a garland and eye mask and led the karaoke at the bar.

At midnight, Ricky and Jennifer opened two bottles of champagne. Ricky, two-time IBF and IBO champ, downed one bottle and shared the rest with friends. He then drank four vodka and Red Bulls and two vodka shots before leaving unsteadily at 3am.

A recommended weekly alcohol intake for men is about 22 units or 11 pints of weak beer. Ricky, who famously balloons by up to 40lbs between fights, had a bare minimum of 144 units in four days .

His despairing dietician Kerry Kayes said: "His parents and girlfriend can't talk him out of it, so what chance have I?" But visitor Kirstie Whitehead, 26, from Oxford, said: "So he lets his hair down. He puts his all into his fights - that's why we love him."
