    "That wasn't the Ricky Hatton we have all followed down the years, nothing like him. And there is only one person who can take the blame for that. Not Ricky, not Lee Beard, not even Manny Pacquiao. As far as I am concerned, it can only be Floyd Mayweather Snr."

    "The Ricky Hatton that beat Kostya Tszyu would have beaten Manny Pacquiao, or stood a fantastic chance."

    " His first defeat in boxing came at the hands of Floyd Mayweather, now his second has as well."

    Whatever, Floyd Sr. made Hatton a better fighter. Just watch the Lazcano fight and the Malinaggi fight and the difference is undeniable. Pac is just simply too good, and I don't believe any amount of training was ever going to make Hatton better than Pac on that night.

    This guy is a ****ing prize knob. Sky have always been and always will be cocksuckers for British fighters. He obviously hasn't been watching Ricky Hatton throughout his career; he fights in the same wild and sloppy way every time.

    Glenn McCrory is an embarrassment, that's a disgraceful article. The thing is the ignorant will fall for bull**** like that.

    British commentators/pundits are the most emotional and biased in the world

    basically what's he's saying is, if that fight was completely SET UP for Ricky to win - in manchester with favorable judges, referee, etc. - then ricky would win? It probably would have gone a little better for him, but he still loses.

    Yeah it's pretty bad. Shame he couldnt credit Pacquiao rather than basically making excuses saying Hatton would have won if not for his trainer.
