Man, this is terrible news. Prayers going out to his family. I hope to God it wasn't a drug overdose or suicide. He deserved better than that. Dang. RIP Champ.

Damn. Sad to hear this. It WAS probably a heart attack. He had his demons and frankly he didn’t look like the type of person to take care of themselves physically. Alcohol, over-eater, and former drug user…it’s a recipe for disaster.

But on what he MEANT to his people, that man should be given a hero’s send off. I’ve always thought that if I could’ve experienced a single fight atmosphere, it would’ve been a Ricky Hatton fight. All of his fights midway through his career and on had the feel of a super fight.

”There’s only one Ricky Hatton…”

Tragic...he had a history of mental health problems and is in the age bracket where a lot of men take their own lives.

Really ****ing depressing. The celebrity deaths this year feel like they've been especially bad, including several big boxing deaths. It ****ing sucks.

RIP Hitman
