"I came out of the ring, sat on the steps and put a towel over my head and I just started sobbing and crying." -Ricky

what in the name of the queen! c'mon old lad, move on! it's a bloody lame excuse, the best you can do is to accept it and don't be a cry puppy.

Excerpts from the article which is worth to be notice...

Former boxer Ricky Hatton has revealed how he broke down two weeks before his final fight against Manny Pacquiao.

The 33-year-old believes his pre-fight camp did not prepare him properly.
"I had peaked too soon, everyone in the camp could see I needed a rest. There was one day when one of my sparring partners knocked me on my backside," he told BBC Radio Manchester.
"I came out of the ring, sat on the steps and put a towel over my head and I just started sobbing and crying."

He continued: "They say 'you've over trained, you've left it in the gym' is the most common phrase used in boxing but my god it is the truest.

"All this was two weeks before you fight the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world."

Floyd Mayweather Sr., would always dismiss Freddie Roach's training prowess by tagging him "coach joke Roach", yet he failed to prepare Hatton properly for the fight, as indicated in the article. Anyway, I believe no matter how prepared Hatton was, without a blink of an eye he would lose to Pac just the same.

This Mayweathers are really embarrasing in boxing. I remember when Hatton was having seizures and knocked out cold by Pacquiao, this stupid Mayweather did not even go to aid Hatton of his ordeal. Mind you guys, even before the fight started, these people around Hatton are already in contract to earn money from the fight. No doubt Mayweather Sr got no boxers to get his services.

Pactards will always find a news that will make pac look good and the opposing party look bad, amazing..... Pactards can't seem to get enough of the good ol times.....
