just my theory, but i think he has CTE
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. This is a degenerative brain disease that is beginning to be found more and more often in the brains of football players, but is referred to as dementia pugilistica because boxers also have this, from getting hit in the head too many times. The only known cause of this disease is repeated blows to the head. Some high profile cases of CTE are Chris benoit (WWE wrestler) and Chris Henry (football player) and this young 21 year old college football player in this article: http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/09/14...ex.html?hpt=C2
The effects of CTE are poor decision making, erratic behaviour, DEPRESSION, use of drugs and alcohol and suicide.
I think that fits Ricky Hatton to a T and he has certainly taken enough headshots in his career.
there is no test for this disease while a person is living. time will tell if i am right.
