Hatton is a genius for getting people going on about this and then finally taking it for granted that the winner is P4P#1 and it has been funny as **** to see all you lot whinging about it. The guy has played everyone and will come out of it as recognised number one, whether you think he deserves it or not. If BH or RJJ had done the same in his situation, you would be lapping it up.
Listen I think Hatton is fantastic for boxing and is an exciting fighter, I am a fan and hope he wins this fight and I believe he will, but even I cant claim him to be number 1 even if he wins.
Hatton should not even be in the P4P discussion. The guy is B-level fighter with a huge following, thus gets elite consideration and treatment. Hatton gets knocked out inside of 10!
There you go you got it in one lol Floyd beleives he is the rightful number one, and sitting at home watching everyone say either pac or marquez is number one now the talk of the winner of pac v hatton being number one. No wonder he put down his pile of cash he was flicking through and taken notice that his self proclaimed title is on the line lol And love the guy or hate him boxing is the better for it, and the match ups now possible are endless
if hatton wins, i have him in the top 5, for him to achieve p4p no1., he has to beat pac well, beat jmm well, b-hop has to retire, and none of the other contenders do anything spectacular in the meantime - then hatton will be p4p no.1... and i think he can potentially do it
Hatton became the champ at 140 and that's all he's ever done. He had his shot at 147 and got destroyed easily.
Hatton has a shot chin. PBF ruined it in December 2007. He was almost KO'd against Lazcano last May, except for the referee saving him with that allowance for shoe-tying. Against Paulie he looked better only because he was not deterred - Paulie can't hurt a mosquito.
I think Pacman will finally free the Hatton fans of the long grand illusion that he is a great fighter. Pacman will be too fast and Hatton will lose compusure and start to lunging in, then Manny will KO him!
He is a 140 fighter for sure, against Floyd he was to uptight before and during the fight and fought completely the wrong way Floyd just teed off on him as he came in and couldnt miss, there was no head movement which hatton used to have lots of and there was no angles just straight on plodding into oblivion. However Mayweather senior has definately been drumming into hatton to use the jab more as seen against mallignaggi and use the head movement when coming in which was used to great effect against mallignaggi who couldnt time hatton and couldnt catch him with the jab all night long. He needs to stay agressive but also be patient and listen to mayweather, he is not with billy graham anymore.
Harsh ! I think if Hatton wins this fight he does have a claim to be ONE of the best, should he then beat marquez I think he IS the best
