Former boxing champion, Englishman Ricky Hatton has been caught on film snorting 7 huge lines of cocaine. Strong rumors persisted about Hatton's, along with fellow countryman, Joe Calzalghe's, involvement with the drug. Calzalghe has recently come clean admitting that he to has a problem and has entered a rehabilitation clinic at an unknown location.
Hatton, on the other hand is said to be devastated by the now known fact that his drug usage is now on film for the entire world and his fans to see. Family members claim that this explains the depression that the former world champion has been in for quite some time.
Good luck Ricky.Former boxing champion, Englishman Ricky Hatton has been caught on film snorting 7... more

The British can chant all they want that there's only one Ricky Hatton.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. can claim all he wants that he never lost his pound-for-pound crown in the ring.
Floyd Mayweather Sr. can claim the answers to all of boxing's greatest riddles reside in his mind.
Juan Manuel Marquez and Golden Boy Promotions can claim all they want that the Mexican owns two wins over the Philippines' greatest icon.
But thanks to his devastating second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton on Saturday night, Manny Pacquiao proved nobody's better than him.
Based on talent and achievement, it's not even close.
The two-time Fighter of the Year staked his claim for a third award (and second straight) thanks to the most brutally one-sided performance in a superfight since ... well, since his eight-round destruction of Oscar De La Hoya in December.
But that win was about two things: fattening the Filipino's bank account and furthering his status as an international superstar.
Saturday night's performance in Las Vegas was about making history, and Pacquiao did so in emphatic fashion, becoming the first fighter to claim lineal world titles in four weight classes thanks to his thrashing of the longtime junior-welterweight king.
Pacquiao was also considered the best fighter at flyweight, featherweight and super featherweight to go along with alphabet-title wins at super bantamweight and lightweight.
Saturday he dominated Ricky Hatton in a way no other fighter has done before — no, not even former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. And he did so while barely breaking a sweat.
"I'm surprised that the fight was this easy," Pacquiao said after getting his 49th win, dropping Hatton three times in just under six minutes.
Something strange was in the air beginning with the prefight walk to the ring. Hatton, widely regarded as the true 140-pound king going into the fight, elected to enter the ring first.
The decision seemed to throw everyone for a loop, including those operating the public address system, as there was a serious delay in cuing up his entrance music. We would be reminded that England's Hatton has never seen a salad or a diet; his fans would be denied the customary "Blue Moon" entrance until he was already perched in the ring for well over a minute.
In stark contrast, Pacquiao looked as calm as an assassin and as giddy as a schoolyard child, offering an ear-to-ear grin as he made his way down the aisle.
The arena erupted for the entrances, and once again at the opening bell, though it took about 20 seconds before either fighter threw a meaningful punch. Hatton was the first to throw, but immediately clinched. Pacquiao connected with a right hook, drawing a rise from his Filipino contingent in the crowd.
Two more punches would land inside of the first half of the opening round, while Hatton enjoyed mild success with his right hand.
Then came the storm.
Hatton was wide in efforts to throw a left hook, to which Pacquiao perfectly timed an inside right hook that smashed on Hatton's chin for the bout's first knockdown. Pacquiao remained on the offensive, swarming Hatton with a sea of bombs, punctuated by a straight left to send Hatton tumbling to the deck with less than 10 seconds to go in the round.The British can chant all they want that there's only one Ricky Hatton.

Ricky Hatton put in a vintage display to brush aside light-welterweight rival Paulie Malignaggi in 11 rounds.
Returning to the scene of his only pro defeat, Hatton was too strong and too smart at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
He rocked Malignaggi with a right hook in the second round and dictated every round that followed, outboxing as well as outmuscling his New York oppponent.
Malignaggi's corner stopped the fight in the 11th much to the disgust of the fighter, who looked fit to continue.
Hatton suffered the only defeat of his pro career at the MGM Grand at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr, the son of his new trainer.
"I enjoyed it here better this time than last time, that's for sure," said the Manchester boxer.Ricky Hatton put in a vintage display to brush aside light-welterweight rival Paulie... more

Jennifer Dooley (pictured here with Wayne Rooney's better half Coleen McLoughlin) has shown commitment where it's due, by quitting her job after bosses at Manchester College of Art & Technology refused to let her take time off to see her boyfriend, Ricky Hatton, knock nine bells out of Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas this weekend.
Jenifer, supposedly, left a note for her Business students explaining her reasons for quitting whilst wishing them all the best of luck for the future.
Good on ya' girl, if my other half stood to win as much as Hatton does, I'd there with bells on!

Well almost, Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather's pre-match media conference turned into a petty scuffle with them having to be pulled apart by onlookers.
Hatton reported that when he lent on Mayweather he was, unsurprisingly hostile, warning 'Don't touch me', but in true British style Hatton gestured 'You're Dead' with a lovely smile.
I can't wait for the fight, Hatton's sure to give him a good run for his money, and most importantly his belt!

It seems that Floyd Mayweather is already planning his excuses for his fight against Ricky 'Hitman' Hatton in their Las Vegas showdown this weekend. Hatton is quoted as saying that should the fight go his way then he will be disappointed if Floyd Mayweather uses excuses to try and dent Hatton stripping of him of his WBC World Welterweight title.
Mayweather has already been publicising his hands are a problem and that they were responsible for his only ever knockdown by Carlos Hernandez, but as Hatton himself says "if you'd got an injury you'd want to hide the fact - so why is he telling everyone?'
Does it sound like Mayweather is getting a little worried about the 'Hitman' coming to Vegas?
