    I'm a huge fan of Hatton, and he's done a hell of a lot for the sport in Britain, but I think Pacquiao deserves a lot of credit for the perfect execution of the gameplan that Moorer and Roach came up with and it just stinks a little of sour grapes for Hatton to be saying he 'peaked 3 weeks early' and continuously blame the camp that he claimed in the build up to the fight was his best. He also claims in this interview that he wasn't sure he'd win as he entered the ring:

    He also doesn't sound too keen to return, either, and I can't blame him. Who knows what he has planned, though:good. Thoughts?...

    He needs to face facts. I hope he retires as I reckon any of the top fightrs beat him.

    Perhaps we're all bored of analysing Ricky's platitudes.

    Personally, I find each interview even more engaging, interesting and, more importantly, different- he always has something new to say:blood. Seriously though, I found this interview a bit of a shocker- even more so than some of the post-PBF ones:-(.

    I'd advise you to read a book on body language, and then watch this interview. :D

    Interesting to hear from Hatton, cleared a few things up.

    Cheers!

    those two choices in your poll are not mutually exclusive

    Pac was amazing and Hatton never had no chance of beating him.

    Ricky might have had a chance if he was allowed take an elephant gun into the ring. That was about his only hope

    Not once to my knowledge. It's annoying as I have a hell of a lot of respect for Hatton but he has always had an excuse ready when he was soundly beaten by better fighters twice:-(.

    He did give Pac full credit the week after the fight, called him "a monster" IIRC. I can't be arsed looking for it as I'm pretty sure it will only contain some other heinous quote to offend people....;)

    Voted for Pac BTW.

    Cheers, Gaz:good. It is good to know that he has at least given credit at some point in time for the victory. It is not my intention to trash Hatton in this thread, I just find it amazing that he's saying these things.

    He won't be the first boxer trying to rationalise a loss to himself and he won't be the last.....

    And people wonder i dislike Ricky Hatton...i've never been a fan and never will.
    I thought he would of taken defeat better the second time round. Some people have said they met him in person and he accepted defeat and said he was the better man now he's coming out and saying this,
