    JENNA: Ricky Hatton recently announced his retirement just this past week. You were the last man to train him. What do you think his legacy will be?

    MAYWEATHER: Well you know I’m just saying that one thing about people, our people and people around the world, we have a tendency to bring out the bad in the individual or the person or whoever it may be. Our world is like that. We have a tendency to bring out the bad! What about the good? You know he did have some good moments, quite a few good moments. He was world champion and he wore the crown and he knows just like everybody else knows about things. But he made an error. He got lazy and he got hung up on a few things like his drug habits, and that’s all the people are going to see now! They ain’t going to see none of the things that he did good. All they’re going to see is that Ricky Hatton was a drug addict or that Manny Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton. It’s nothing good now for him, especially when he could have went on and did what he did with Pacquiao. He could have left that right there and just wait. That’s all he had to do is wait. When you wait you will finally see, and that’s all he had to do was wait. He got knocked out. That was his last fight. He should have left that alone and left everything alone with whatever drugs and stuff he was doing. Leave that alone and just step back and just wait. Wait! Wait. Some waits are a little bit longer than others, but at the end of the day some kind of waiting is going to show his face and that’s what I’m talking about.

    Who cares what this nut case thinks? His brain is cooked far worse than Hatton's.

    At the height of his drug phase, Hatton was far more lucid than Mayweather Sr. ever was!

    i used to find him quite entertaining now as time goes on and more interviews are done he comes across as a sad pathetic old man. and im sure he just wants to talk about drugs in every interview, but i guess he wants to talk what he knows best ( and that aint boxing) :patsch

    I listened to that whole show and that Jenna J always manages to annoy me. When talking about Hatton possibly getting into the HOF, she said "well if someone like Michael Spinks can get in, why not Hatton?". Undisputed and LHW ATG who beat Holmes for the lineal HW title being slapped in the same catagory as Hatton? Jenna talks some serious ****.

    If he wasn't in boxing and you walked past him in the street you'd look at him and think he lives in a crack house. Self important toss pot

    I'm not sure there's anyone whose opinion I respect less in boxing.

    Same here. The guy is a first class ****.

    With all the interesting people involved with boxing, why does the Mayweather clan get so much airtime and publicity? Their knowledge and insight is extremely overrated, and usually completely biased and outdated.

    Diablo, you're right but you could well get a ban the way this place is going...


    He barely makes any ****in sense ever and that interview is just the same. He is a fantastic trainer for some boxers but he and his brother have serious egos and are a pair of drug-addled clowns.

    There's an irony that a man who went to prison for dealing heroin criticises someone else for being a drug addict. Sr is a massive **** - no wonder his son is so ****ed up.
