Hatton is looking in terrible shape allready, he is done

[REMOVED SHARK 99]

10-20 years time... same hat too.

Getting fat in between fight and having to train more just to lose that weigh can only be great for a boxing career.....

[Dragon Punch]

Ricky always looks like that in between fights as many has pointed out. He has a round face which ballons when he's out of training (Abit like the nutty professor!) alothough we can't see a lot of it, his body doesnt look that big plus he's wearing a tailored suit so he can't be that massive - he's probably weighing 170lb.

I have had a change of heart from initialy saying he should retire after the Pac beating. The talk is a move to 147lb which would make sense and Steve Forbes is apparentally the guy he'll face in Manchester - it should be a fight to guage whether Ricky can still complete with the Top boys but if not should at least allow him to squeeze through a UD to sign off a great career with a win.

1. ricky hatton always blows up between fights, maybe you idiots don't know that.

2. he didn't even take alot of punishment in the pacquaio fight

Uhh...

[-Antonio-]

Hatton is massive at 140 pounds.

The drink will end up taking this man to hell. Floyd still would've kicked his ass if he never took a sip, but...

If he only didn't have that demon...I think he'd be a much better fighter...I like how he plants his feet and punches directly to the center of a guy's midsection, out of a clinch. He is definately a fighter who displays the proper clinch, by initiating it to control the tempo, and then punching out of it and landing...Ruiz didn't know how to punch out of a clinch like Hatton..still..isn't what I'd call a crowd pleasing style, but it got him where he is now, so...

Add to that how easy he cuts...He might make a stink again on the world level...I don't see him as a reigning champion though (On the world level)

Perfect opponent, he knows Forbes is known for technical ability and overall ring generalship and lacks in the power department, compared to Hatton at least. Also, great chance of the fight going 12 rounds. Looks like we'll see another Valuev - Holyfield style decision if the fight goes the distance. If there's a stoppage, it'll be Forbes getting stopped. Hatton's a sure bet.

[fallenloki]

Yeah... Hatton of all people is not going to stop Forbes...

If anything, Forbes can land enough punches on the Hugman to put him down... I doubt it happens, but it is possible.

a forbes fight means nothing, forbes is just becoming a yardstick by which fighters measure thier eroding skills against, i hope ricky does fight forbes, id like to see forbes win that one, although i dont think he will. im predicting khan hatton to be announced before the end of the year, then im predicting khan by KO

[VatoMulatto]

I do know he always looks like that in between fights but it's more than just his "lifestyle".....Ricky Hatton must be a naturally fat guy. I mean to always put on so much weight in such a short period of time it comes down to that fat gene.
