I lose a lot of respect for Hatton because of this statement

A lot of guys call themselves the best in the world.

Holyfeld and James Toney still think theyre the best heavyweights in the world.

Obviously the PBF fight ****ed with his head a little bit because he honestly thought it would be an easy KO win for him. He has an ego like any fighter and wants to make up for that. He sees pacman being touted as the best fighter in the world p4p now that mayweather is gone and thinks he can beat pacman (which he probably can) and wants to make up for that mayweather loss.

I dont really think it makes him a bad guy for that. How many times when you see a guy who is the 5th best fighter in the world or in their division call themselves the 5th best? Everyone always calls themselves the best. Wouldnt really have the heart of a champion if you said "yeah im the 5th best and im ok with that. Not too sure if i want to fight the 4th best, I might loose. Those number 1 and 2 guys are just way out of my league, id never beat them"

Best post on here.

The ego of a fighter cannot be underestimated....
