Old news I suppose, but it's obvious for anyone to see - eat like shit and live a wild life, then train like mad for a professional sport, then do that in cycles over several years - you're gona put your body under a hell of a lot of undue stress rather than keeping a certain middle ground.

A murmer can mean a strong Heart.

I believe Muhammad Ali had a heart murmer and it didn't hold him back much!

murmer does not really mean anything, many of us have murmers sometimes in out lives, particularly as young children.

he should retire just incase

That wasn't e reason he was in hospital that was food poisoning i got that from the mans own lips on Friday in Newport at his latest promotion.

Full credit to him too, it was an excellent card from top to bottom.

Possibly the worst post seen here for a long time.

There's nothing wrong with a session now and again as you well know (and subscribe to!) but he has a valid point about the up-and-down nature of Hatton's lifestyle. From extreme to the other. It's worse than constantly drinking or constantly training because switching between the two makes both harder work for the body. At least if you drink consistently the body gets used to it (although it's by no means a good thing!).

TheCobra is spot on.

Actually K-G he's right, when I was in the army I could drink myself stupid one night but be able to run 10 miles the next day* but if I went on a 3 month binge and then tried to run 10 miles I'd fall apart after a mile. You can still live the life as long as you keep active.












*although on average I did manage to puke every half mile doing this.

You've got to admit though, this place would be boring without him.

what does ricky weigh now?at least thirteen stone?in anyones book,putting on that amount of weight in less than three months is seriously unhealthy(and he may be bigger!)

yeah really struggled didn't he!

Didn't hHatton nearly get refused a pro-licnce because of Heart issues? I remember Billy Graham talking about it once. The BBBofC all but refused him but his father got some specialist involved and he was passed fit.

I don't think it's a new thing with Hatton, but his ticket is probably working harder than ever now due to the size of him and the amount of kebab fat laying in his iveins.

He really needs to pack up boxing before his jam tart makes the decision for him. He has acheived much more and earned much more than he could ever imagined. I have no real liking for him or his people but he is a undoubtedly a public hero and a tragedy would be a terrible thing for the sport and all concerned. he should enjoy his kid and his cash and get out now.

Hatton - retire!

You will only get hurt if you 'think' you can fight at the elite level.


YOu were never 'elite' - you beat abunch of not that great or past it or smaller fighters.

The 2 prime elite you faced mashed you down into dust.


Retire.

is there any medical evidence to support this?
i often wondered if it might be better to let your body totally relax and recover between training like a madman for a fight. wouldnt training constantly at such a high level also damage your body?
never seen a study about this but it would make interesing reading...

its not an either/or thing

you train with 100% intensity during the 'peaking' involved in a prefight training camp

but say you have 2 months between your last fight and training camp. it can't hurt to do a certain amount of light training 50- 75% intensity in the interim period.

Ricky Hatton has broken his silence in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News.

In his first real feature-length TV appearance since his stunning defeat at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, the Hitman spoke out on all manner of things.

From his health, to his hopes for the future, his thoughts on Amir Khan and of course, what went wrong in the Pac Man fight, Britain's favourite boxer was as honest as usual.

Hatton pulled no punches as he revealed the real truth behind matters in and out of the ring, on the following:

ON HIS HEALTH - How food poisoning put him in hospital and how the heart murmur we've read so much about is nothing new.

ON HIS FUTURE - How he is not ruling out a comeback, but admits that resting up is all that's on his mind.

ON HIS LAST DEFEAT - How he 'overcooked' himself ahead of the Pacquiao fight and how training turned sour in the crucial, final few days.

ON AMIR KHAN - How he admits that fighting his close friend might well be an option some way down the line, if Khan is still a world champion.

ON allegedly - How his hospital stay was not 'self-inflicted' as his old promoter suggested and how he would not fight Khan on a Warren promotion.

ON A POSSIBLE COMEBACK - How he might get 'itchy feet' and give it another go...
