Ricky Hatton
By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. In his darkest hours, Ricky Hatton has revealed that he contemplated ending his life.  His losses to Manny Pacquiao and Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr., was hard on Hatton and he slipped into some serious depression. Hatton seriously contemplate ending his own life, luckily for himself, his family and his fans, he never had the courage to actually commit suicide.

Quoted recently by The Sun (a U.K. based media publication), Hatton spoke out on his darkest hour, stating: "I was suicidal and very depressed but I didn’t take the full jump."  "Hitman" Hatton admitted there were nights he went to bed with a knife with the intention of hurting himself.  In the morning's his fiancee Jennifer Dooley would find Hatton sitting on the couch and a knife on the floor. "My fiancee Jennifer would come downstairs. I’d be on the sofa with a knife on the floor," said Hatton who was quoted by the publication. He added that he lacked the courage to end his life.

Well thank God he never did!  I've always been a great fan of Hatton... I'd hate it if he went out such a dark way.  For me, It's actually not even easy reading that these thoughts were consuming him in such a way... but I am glad he came clean and in doing so might be able to inspire others by telling his story, to get themselves some help.  I wish I had the words to inspire those who find themselves in similar dark places like Hatton... I don't.  I do know that help and love is out there and that If you or someone you know needs help, it can be found. Here is a link (from Wiki) with a list of Suicde crisis hot lines.
