Check out this latest Hatton interview, good grief

F#ck sake. Ricky Hatton will never be rated P4P number 1 by anyone other than himself because he is simply not good enough to have that title. He says himself that he can't fight and beat the top guys at 147 yet he thinks that if he beats Pacman who has recently moved up from 130 then he will be P4P number 1 ? Get f#cked Ricky. Pacman is only fighting at 140 and 147 against Oscar because they are the money fights. If Oscar and Hatton etc etc (the cash cows) didn't exist then he would definately be campaigning at 135.

Right now i would have Hatton in the lower end of a top 10 like most others. If he defeats Pacman then i would put him at 3-5 depending on his performance. Hopkins and Marquez would still be clearly ahead imo and so would Floyd and Calzaghe if they were still active. Gee i hope Manny smashes him to bits.

 

While I don't necessarily disagree with all of what Healy said, very, very little was 'fact'. It was almost entirely opinion.

 

There is nothing in his avatar or overall internet persona that would suggest he hasn't got one. I think we should assume he has until proven otherwise.

 

Yep, just like I assume that everyone on here has an IQ over 130 and is a high powered Property Developer.

 

Opinions are facts when they tie in with TFFPs opinions.

 

I think the fact that you are resorting to putting retired fighters ahead of him speaks volumes.

 

You need not assume. I think we've established this as fahct. I severely doubt that anybody on here would lie or oversell themselves.

 

Genuine question: Has there ever been a top, or say top 3, Ring P4P ranked fighter who lost his last fight?

 

What do you mean ? Speaks volumes for what ? Floyd and calzaghe are only recently retired and anyone with any degree of boxing knowledge would have them miles above Hatton IF they were still active. Anyway as it is Hopkins and Marquez would still be above Hatton imo even if Hatton beats the smaller Pacman.

Where would you have Hatton if he wins ?

 

Good question. I don't recall it happening. What if Manny loses a razer thin decision to Hatton. Will most people retain Manny at number 1 or will they go with Hopkins or Marquez ?

 

I suspect Francis 75 is not a fan of Ricky Hatton....:think

 

If Pac got dropped, I'd guess JMM would get the nod. Then it would be interesting how the people who compile these rankings would deal with a Hatton win over JMM.....

 

Marquez is pushing Manny all the way for no.1, If Pacman loses to Hatton then we would see Marquez overtake Pacquiao as P4P no1 and Pacquiao slip a place with Hopkins just behind in 3rd.

If this were to happen (and it's all hypothetical) what would happen then if Hopkins goes on to beat Adamek?

 

No i'm not, but i'm not blind either. He is a very good fighter (as i said before lower end of a top 10 P4P list imo). Just annoyed with Ricky's deluded P4P number 1 talk. :-(

 

I think he's just pitching his spiel at his target audience ie. people who arn't big boxing fans but who watch Hatton fights. Mildy annoying but not a capital offence.
