i wouldn't go that far! he has what it takes to be a champion but not quite elite level and for his fans to claim that he lost to mayweather and pacquiao because he had to climb up weight and past his prime, now that is delusional prime hatton fighting on his weight division will never ever beat Mayweather and Pacquaio. Maybe if these two elites will fight him with one hand!
This is just what Ricky himself has said. A lot of fans just repeat what a boxer says in his interviews without critically thinking about it. Look at the Floyd fans, for example.
