Check out this latest Hatton interview, good grief

To be honest you don't sound the biggest fan of his noob.

 

:goodValid point.

Hatton does annoy me though with all the 3rd person shite and talking about this imaginary p4p title which he thinks he will hold by beating Pac.Truth is,he won't really be p4p #1.He'll be #3/4 in my eyes

 

I didn't say he had a big ego, I said he had an enormous ego but tries to disguise it behind his down to earth bollocks.

why am I posting on this thread? Expressing my opinion, that's why I generally post on here.

 

Yeah I'm sure the thousands of people who have met the guy in the flesh and haven't a bad word to say about him are all wrong and the few internet warriors who have an irrational dislike of him and will twist anything he says to suit their own hate agenda despite never having spoken two words to the guy are 100% correct. Sheesh!

I don't know why my response thread got moved, but I stick by my comments!

 

I never really post on here about Hatton's fighting ability, also I don't regard Hatton as a bad guy, he's just sly and sneaky and big headed as ****. When you watch his interviews and read his quotes he always denigrates others whilst bigging himself up, but he dresses it up and tries to appear respectful (a bit like the way JonOli starts his Calzaghe hate threads).

Take his latest interview, he says somethig along the lines of, "I don't think britain has had a P4P #1 before" he's trying to make out he is bigger and better than the likes of Lewis, Calzaghe, Hamed etc - I don't think he is, he's a level below.

Obviously Betty, myself and a few others see this sneaky, sly character traits in Hatton.

 

how funny is it going to be if hatton wins and starts saying im p4p champ and then he checks he's only gone up a few places if any on the p4p list
bless him he's going to be heart broken

 

That's all in your mind to be fair. He might not be implying that. Nobody knows except him.

This is the problem with all these hater threads, they are borderline psychotic. Looking for hidden meanings.

I've met Hatton briefly, he seemed straight up, really nice kid, childish almost. Not this cunning deceitful character you guys obsess about.

 

I am a slightly paranoid person, but it always seems to me Hatton makes these sly little digs to elevate his own reputation, it wasn't so long ago he was giving Hamed a slagging for no reason just to big himself up.

 

Ricky Hatton should be top 10 ranked. Beating Pac can put him at 1, especially as Calzaghe and Floyd are retired.

 

let's be honest it is a more open p4p no1 position with both floyd and joe gone.

whether ricky would deserve it if he beats pac is up for debate. i personally think hatton needs to add a few more wins.

beating marquez as well might crack the case. :yep

 

Even if Ricky and Pac both put on good performances and Hatton wins by KO;
Hatton would still have to beat Marquez to be P4P No 1.

 

Beating the P4P No1 does not make you P4P No1

 

Agreed.

He's certainly top 4 if he wins for me, possibly 3rd.

 

Why? In that scenario, Marquex didn't beat Pacman (2 attempts), Hatton did.

Marquez beat Diaz impressively - but then again how good is Diaz? Nate beat him too last time out. Maybe Diaz isn't quite as good as we thought.

Hatton just comprehensively beat the recognised no.1 challenger in his division too remember, whichever way you dress it up, that's what he did.


I'm not necessarily saying Hatton would go above Marquez. In fact, in my eyes he wouldn't. But it's not as cut and dried as people make out.

 

I disagree with most. We are talking about a fighter who did work his way up and beat a p4p number 1-3 in Tszyu. That easily got Hatton a top 10 ranking. No one went crazy and put him at number 1 or 2 or 3. Then he beat top 10 P4P Castillo. I'm basing my rankings of what people are saying on ESB. I've seen enough debates here to say that Tszyu is considered all time top 10 140 and Castillo is considered all time top 30 135. Couple this with wins like unifying with Maussa and two weights with Collazo. Hatton should have comfortably been in the top 10, roughly 6. However after the loss to Floyd, I've never seen a fighter forgotten like that. He was totally forgotten and I think it was done on the basis that his loss was some sort of exposure (as if it never happened to many others).

Hatton came back against Lazcano and then beat Malignaggi who was considered his number 1 threat in the division and a champion. All Hatton did was prove he never left and still owned the division with an iron fist. This should have seen him reinstated well inside the top 10 on everyones list.

If he beats Pac, who is considered P4P1 then why wouldn't he be P4P1? Who would be? Marquez, Hopkins etc In Hatton, we are talking about a fighter who only knows what it is like to lose to the best fighter of his generation. If he beats Pac, a decent level of invincibility should be reinstalled. Especially considering how many people are predicting a ko, blowout etc

I think I consider JMM linear so Hatton beating him after Pac would be a special win. JMM beat WBC champ Casa and then won WBA and WBO v widely accepted number 1 Diaz (with Campbell gone). JMM is a special win.
