I had not seen the picture but I was talking to some other guys about it yeaterday.....This is not a shock to me...Hatton is known to abuse his body and a party type person..EG Ricky Fatton!!!...But man this is sad truly....I think these guys replace the coke use for the rush they once got as a fighter....I can't think of where else they could get it in a non sports way I mean coming to the ring with thousands screaming in approval for you is a crazy high!!!!!
I have never tried the stuff as when I was a kid I had a friend of mine have a heart attack from it and die at 17 so it was enough to scare me from doing it but I can imagine what artificial replacemnent for things like mentioned it can provide or so many people would not use it.....
Sad though I mean not going too far back but far enough look at Pernell he ruined himself with it...Tyson as well self admittingly had issues with it...The list is long...I think Pryor had a cocaine issue as well......
No Ton the title fits thne situation quite well in my opinion when I found out the same words came to mind

Yeah, it RUINED Pryor. He went from World Champion to weighing 90 some Pounds and Shadowboxing for spare change in just a couple years time. Your right about the strain on the heart, and this probably explains why Hatton seemed to be intent on a comeback but changed his mind after being in the Gym.
Like Lee Groves mentioned in Paltalk, I feel bad for Ricky, but I feel even WORSE for his Son, the one they showed playing Soccer in the 24/7's, who's got to return to school this morning with his Dad all over the Papers snorting Cocaine.

He's entered rehab apparently!! He is "severely depressed" and it is alcohol which is his main problem, and the drugs is a recent thing. Looked a bit more of a pro to me than a newcomer.
Anyway, what the fuck does he have to be depressed about?? He's idolised and loved by the country and he's rich, and has a promising troop of fighters in his promotions company!

Its going to be hard for the family to come to terms with Hattons decline into the sordid world of drugs.As Lee said on Paltalk you got feel even more sorry for his son,lets hope he cleans his act up and starts acting like a father.

I know it isn't PC but you can add "depressed" as one of the medical conditions that I call BS on .... the list is pretty long

Yeah that is rough thing for a kid....I don't know what to really say about Hatton after this except I HOPE he gets himself together because he is a young man and he has abused himself greatly just with the binge drinking and binge eating between fights....The cocaine now is another thing that has been going on for who knows how long? |
