Ricky Hatton has backed Floyd Mayweather to beat Manny Pacquiao if the rivals finally meet in the ring.
The two camps are keen to tie up a $100million deal to square up in Las Vegas on May 5 before Mayweather goes to prison.
British legend Hatton, who suffered the only defeats of his career to the pair, believes Mayweather would prove too good for Pacquiao.
On Twitter he wrote: 'Im hearing real progress is being made making pacman n mayweather, great news. I fancy mayweather.
'PAC nailed me as I was reckless, again. But Floyd was technically exceptional. I couldn't hit the F***** with a handfull of confetti. Ha ha.'

No fukhead they both fought an old ODH , Pacs was older again and 15 pounds lighter .
And Hatton was not the same against both fighters he was undefeated against Floyd and stopped and then looked like sh!t turned into a manic depressive and then fought Pac with a new trainer , and for the fuken idiots that dont know weight he weighed the same on both nights as he always has in his Jw fights , Hatton was 153 on the night against KT and Floyd , and 151 against Pac , Floyd weighed 152 against Hatton ,,,,
fuk there are some real boxing idiots in here that really know nothing of the sport other than a TV set .
you're one of them for sure...
What I find hilarious is the how you totally ignore the difference between the times , a name is not always representative of the best of that name , 160 lb ODH that Floyd fought is a world of difference from the waif 145 lb ODH who fought Pac , Oscar had never been that weight since he was a LW .
And Hatton was already mentally beat , he was never the same after Floyd stopped him , Hatton looked crap in his comeback fights then changed trainer and looked worse .
They are not all the same on any given night , you kids just go with the name , the notch on the handle , its so much more than just the name .
did floyd n oscar fought twice, don't remember them fighting at 160?
thought it was at 154....
what does weight matter when the head is already gone?:la:
The weight was same on both nights buddy , but the Pac retards are ,,,,, well you know what they are :)
YEAH LIKE THOSE FIGHTS WERE GENERATIONS APART GTFO .
You act like floyd didnt fight a old delahoya . Hattons always been c level so most top guys beat him manny just did it easier .
I bet your the type that believes since manny and juan were competitive and floyd dominated an old juan that he cheated on the scale floyds going to run right thru manny right ? come on now rookie

Its embarassing but being KTFO on the 2nd round at your best weight and having the KO being used as a highlight in every Pac fight after that would.
How bout we say both embarrassed and dominated and knocked him out,like i always say of course manny will get the ko faster he is more aggressive Floyd is more cautious..Manny steam rolled him and Floyd painted a master piece..but props to Hatton for fighting both with no excuses

HATTON WHAT???? this beats all record on contradictions by all FLOMOS.

^^^^^^the loss to pacquiao really hurt hatton mentally..he even contemplated suicide some time after the loss.
sooo getting check hooked ran face first into the ring post getting ktfo and losing your "0" isnt embarrassing?

De la Hoya was very poor against Pacquiao but there's something that never gets mentioned about the fight: it was Oscar doing the chasing. When Floyd "retired", Oscar went for Hatton and Pacquiao. It was always going to be 147. People tried to stop the fight happening because it didn't look fair - De la Hoya was supposed to be too big for Pacquiao. It was supposed to be an easy win. Now it's talked about as if Pacquaio cherry picked Oscar and everyone knew the bigger man would be dead at the weight. Most Boxingscene writers had De la Hoya by KO.
We are not talking about cherry picking you dumb fuk , we are talking about the fact of Oscar turning up a dehydrated waif , not Pacs fault in the least , but dont claim the win like its some big accomplishment because Oscar was dead on his feet before the bell sounded , Manny beat a shadow of Oscar and thats a fact .

hmmmn...
it took floyd 10 rounds to stopped hatton...
pac put him to sleep (in a brutal fashoion) in less than 6 minutes...
should'nt hatton be singing a different tune?...lol
also, hatton picked cotto to win vs pac....
Well yea its not hard to hit pac since he doesnt have a great defense like mayweather, but i expected hatton to back up floyd.
I mean, he fought both guys, but Pac KTFO him and enbarrassed him. Now that Pac-May may happen, Hatton is rooting for Floyd to avenge him :P

Why do you think DLH that Floyd fought was so good, you know the one who lost to BH and only beat mayorga of all people? How do you know DLH was ever the same? BH ruins people.
He wasnt his prime thats obvious , but 15 lbs in weight is huge , 145 lb Oscar is a ruined waif , 160 lb Oscar is as good as he can be at the time , which was a time before looking ordinary against SJ , then Pac fought him , so either way whether you want the time frame or weight it really doesnt matter , the Oscar Floyd fought was way netter than the Oscar Pac fought , its not about knowing , its common sense kid just look at ALL the facts .

I dont think he could hit manny either .
Much worse to be competitive for many rounds than t0 be laid out cold in 2 .
oscar and hatton still hold hugeeeee grudges on manny lol
styles make fights and these 2 are sure going to make things interesting i dont think itll be a easy fight for either .

What an awesome quote. Ricky Hatton is about the only British fighter I can respect. The man had decent skills and he respects others skills even if he doesn't like the guy.
Well yea its not hard to hit pac since he doesnt have a great defense like mayweather, but i expected hatton to back up floyd.

:la: you're my favorite flomo.
Your my favorite Pactard lol...Still can't believe you posted the sh!t below, but then again your a pactard so shouldn't come to no surprise.
if Floyd made it clear during the first negoiations, then so did Manny.
Remmeebr they were just about to sign the papers until Floyd brought up testing. Yes FLOYD BROUGHT UP TESTING. The man initiated the roadblock. Whether you believe its legit or not doesnt matter, what matter is Floyd brought it up which stopped the fight.
Above quote example of a desperate Pactard attempt to protect his idol making up sh!t:lol1: These are desperate time for the Pactards. Their working overtime to protect their duck hypejob:loser:
No idiot. Testing was on the contract since day one of negotiations!! Nice try dumba$$!!!
