ricky better toughen up, embarrasing losses are coming because now he is a shell of his former self
there is no redemption to be had for hatton, at least not in the boxing world

Being confident of winning a fight means you're not humble?

My man, don't confuse confidence with arrogance!! Tellin' people to bet their life savings on him is humble?

Looks Like The Hitman Still Has Some Stuff Left In the Basement, I Mean I Would Too If I Would Have Gone Through What Hes Gone Through. Well Wish Hatton The Best Of Luck On His Upcoming Fight And I Hope He Takes It To This Guy. It Seems To Me That This Fight Is Going To Mean A Lot To Him And His Career. Hopefully He Can Try To Make A Comeback And Redeem Himself. He Wants To Have That Feeling Of Being A Great Fighter Again. Im Pretty Sure Thats All He Wants. Go Get em' Hatton

Yeah cos he seriously wanted people to do that. I didn't know Aussies were as bad as Yanks at recognising irony/sarcasm.

I actually remember that he said that. it was before the pacquiao fight when Ricky said pple could "bet their house on him" that he would win. that was not right to say. cause their are always a few pple who actually do bet their house on Ricky.

When I saw the footage of Hatton snorting coke I knew he was in a really bad way mentally. I don't think he is emotionally right now either just better.

Yeah, I don't think he sounds right yet either.

The ring isn't the best place to look for redemption, it's an unforgiving place for a past prime fighter.

Best of luck to him anyway, hope he gets what he needs from it.

Overthinking as well as talking?

My man, I didn't even candy-coat it then and i'm not about to candy-coat it now. I called it what it is. So you can use justification to help defend his actions all you want, but keep this in mind... Hatton is a GROWN a$$ man!! And his actions put him in that light! I didn't put him there.

Mental illness is a tired excuse to sum up his irresponsible behavior and i won't even dignify a full response on it 'cause that idea is just ****** on so many levels!!

When did I try to justify anything? I was only pointing out that you are trying to make a point when you don't have all the information. And the one thing I do know to be 100% true is that in many cases substance abuse is a good indication of someone that is suffering from mental illness.

well, depression mixed with alcohol and drugs, usually leads to suicide.....

if hatton was all ****ed up on prescription pills, he would've done it... I've lost four people this year to prescription drugs, only one of them was an abuser, the others were following the directions, go ****ing figure.
