MIGHTY ring king Ricky Hatton necked a bottle of beer with pal Wayne Rooney yesterday and declared: "The Fatman is back."
The Hitman chilled out in the pool with girlfriend Jennifer Dooley and mates Wayne and Coleen McLouglin to celebrate knocking out Jose Luis Castillo.
And he threw the Fatman taunts back at his tormentors as he vowed to tuck into his fave junk food of cheeseburgers and tortilla chips washed down with plenty of Guinness.
The hungover champ dragged England ace Roo, 21, and his fiancée Coleen, 21, into the pool for an ice-cool hair of the dog!
Mexican victim Castillo, 33, ended up seeing stars after being clobbered to the floor by Hatton in the fourth round of their Las Vegas scrap on Saturday night.
But Ricky, 28, was seeing double after going on a monster Guinness binge to celebrate retaining his World Light Welterweight title at the sold-out Thomas & Mack Center.
Mancunian Ricky spent most of the day in and around the pool of his £750-a-night Wynn Hotel on the famous Strip with girlfriend Jennifer.
One onlooker revealed: "He was really on cloud nine and you could tell the effects of all that Guinness still hadn’t worn off.
"He was chatting to us all and kept holding his forehead saying he was never going to touch another drop of booze in his life.
"A waiter brought him out a cup of coffee on a tray, which he took one sip of then put down.
"A few minutes later he had a beer in his hand and said he badly needed a livener."
On Saturday Rooney carried one of Ricky’s title belts in to the ring and he hailed the experience as "one of the proudest nights of my life".
The Hitman is now unbeaten in 43 fights. He collects his MBE from the Queen on Thursday, hours after arriving back home.
Then he is off on a caravan holiday with his family before jetting out to Tenerife with pals.

His victory against Castillo was a great fight. Certainly, it was more exciting than the other super fights. this fight is just what boxing needs. I hope we see a lot more exciting fights from Ricky.
