Comments Thread For: Hatton Warns Khan on Mayweather, Picks Pacquiao To Lose

Everybody talks about marketing the fight but that has already been done for the past two years! Lets say they decided to make the fight in November- do you really think it's going to make much more money when it's so close to the holidays? Maybe they'll get more money from the television networks but they'll loose money on pay per view buys specially a fight of this magnitude, which they will for sure increase the rate.

Sarcasm.. as the idiot I was replying to seems to think he's butthurt. I see I see, never seem to know on this site. Sarcasm is hard to pick up on via the internet. :boxing:

Flint...you obviously went to the same school as the Mayweathers as you display the same deft skill with the English language. Anyway, all retarded humanoids aside, Hatton is showing the same resentment that DLH showed when he retired as well. They both got killed by Pacquiao and are bitter about it. Hatton will kiss FMJs ass because of his association with FMSr and everyone of these tools feels the need to pile on the nice guy who doesn't shoot his mouth off. Especially if that guy retired you. Pacquiao ducking worse than FMJr? Really? Both guys are handpicking opponents at this point because they can. They are both cash cows. Floyd avoided Cotto and Margarito in their primes by RETIRING. If that isn't the ultimate act in ducking fighters then I don't know what that is. I don't think Pac beats Floyd. He's got great defense and he's a supreme counter puncher and aside from the occasional unintelligible argument with his idiot father that requires a translator, he doesn't seem to have the distractions in his camp that Pacquiao has while training. If Pacquiao gets hungry again and stops trying to solve the world's problems, and making crappy novelty albums then he might stand a chance. Plus, he's not doing the work in camp like he used to, because he's dictating everything. FMJr trains like a beast in the gym, because he's always got something to prove. Manny doesn't and it shows. Pacquiao is like Rocky in Rocky III, he got soft off of the fat lifestyle. All the adulation in the world won't help you in the ring. Until he really, and I mean REALLY focuses on training like he did before that DLH fight, he won't bring the A game he needs to complete with Floyd. The Marquez fight proved that. He only won because ODH needed IV fluids to gain 2lb in weight from the weigh-in ,,,,, that kid !!!!! IS DEADMAN WALKING ,,,,, he struggled with Mosley despite the score , he was frustrated and could not handle a little speed and boxing skill . Then JMM , a great counter boxer and technically by the book , he was was only slowed a little by the CW he wasnt sucked out he was stronger , up or down is a big difference concerning a CWs . Pac fans have swallowed the hype like a fish on a fly ,, FLOYD WILL SCHOOL MANNY !!!!!

I LOL @ ppl who say Floyd retired to duck Cotto or Margarito. Floyd had already left TR & after the DLH fight he was arguably the biggest star in the sport giving him the leverage in any negotiations. Arum would never have let either fight go down & we all know it. Hell he won't even let Manny fight him now. They say he ducked Margarito to fight Baldomir, but here is the truth. Arum didn't want to give Floyd the DLH fight so he offered him $8M to fight Margs. At the time Floyd had a buyout clause in his contract that was only available for a limited time so Arum put a stipulation in the contract that would've bound Floyd to TR for an additional 4 fights. Floyd was almost assured none of those 4 fights would be against DLH and he wanted $10M guaranteed for all fights after Margs were as Arum would only guarantee $7M so he left TR & eventually got the DLH fight. Once he left TR there was no Arum was gonna let him fight any of his fighters.

Did he retire or did he fight them before they were exposed? No. Do any of you read the actual post before replying or did you merely take it out of context? No. I stated that FMJ trains like a beast, because he still has something to prove whereas Pacquiao's popularity has gone to his head and he's splitting time between TV shows, congress and recording albums while being an icon in a third world country. It was actually a compliment to FMJr in saying that he doesn't ALLOW the distractions to have any effect on his training and he doesn't dictate to anyone that he doesn't feel like training or blow training off like Pacquiao has done in past camps. I'm not choosing a side. Read the post before you respond with the mentally challenged comments. I'm stating an objective opinion. You mental giants complain about "Pactards" but you're just as bad if someone doesn't immediately bow down and kiss the gold chain of your ignorant Ghetto God. Now I just gave you something to actually get pissed about. In all honesty would you really want to see that match up? get really margs wasnt a threat to any top fighter career

cocaine Hatton, go sniff some coke, you where a lot sobber then. You are a mid9get with 6" arms, Khan is a 5-10" who will give the overrated gayfeather his third (realistictly speaking) defeat. Again, go sniff some coke to be yourself again nitramzaid@hotmail.com

RICKY HATTON has told Amir Khan to avoid Floyd Mayweather Jr this year – or his career will be ruined. Click Here To Read More] http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/boxing/15114640.stm Ricky Hatton considered suicide after defeat by Manny Pacquiao Hatton won 45 of his 47 fights during a 12-year career Ricky Hatton says depression almost drove him to suicide after he was knocked out by Manny Pacquiao in 2009. In an exclusive interview on BBC Radio 5 live, Hatton explained how his life spiralled out of control in a battle with drink and drugs. The former world champion confirmed his retirement in July and now runs a successful promoting business. But he said: "I was so down, I was crying and breaking out and contemplating suicide." Hatton lost to Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in May 2009 with a brutal second-round knockout. He said: "I was going deeper and deeper into depression. "I was getting depressed. I was going out and having a few drinks. The worst thing you can do with depression is add alcohol to it. "I needed something to get my backside into gear and pull my finger out. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to think, 'Blimey Ricky, get a grip'. "Depression is a serious thing and, after my defeat to Manny Pacquiao, I contemplated retirement and didn't cope with it very well." The former boxer's predicament was exposed in a newspaper sting where he was shown taking cocaine. Hatton added: "For someone in my position taking drugs once is nothing short of disgraceful. "The reason behind my actions and the way I was behaving wasn't a drink or drugs thing, it was depression. I was so down, I was crying and breaking out and contemplating suicide. "Half the things I was doing I didn't even read about in the paper. I can't even remember the night it happened - that's what depression does to you. "I was having blackouts, days on end whether I was drinking or not when I couldn't remember what had happened in my life. "I thank the News of the World because who knows where it could have ended up. "A lot of people say, 'I've tried committing suicide' - but there's saying it and doing it and it was coming on a regular basis. "Being a proud man and a warrior, to get splattered in two rounds like I did, was really hard to come to terms with. "When I tried to get back into training, I realised the hunger was gone and my career was over. "Everything got on top of me and it was a really horrible time in my life. I would go out, have a few drinks, start sulking and start feeling sorry for myself. "I kept coming home and crying to my girlfriend saying, 'I want to end it, I don't want to live'. "Depression is a very serious thing. People don't realise how deadly it can be."

Pacman has more distractions then Mayweather? lol May has way more to deal with then Pac. Yall really act like Margs was a threat to floyd lmao he would of been shut out 12-0 then yall would complain on how floyd cherry picked a slow tall punching bag that doesnt move. Did he retire or did he fight them before they were exposed? No. Do any of you read the actual post before replying or did you merely take it out of context?

Gosh I'm so sick of real fighters who have spent their entire lives in this sport telling me, a guy who's never stepped into a ring, that Pacquiao will lose. (Insert sarcasm). Sadly it's gotten to the point where I'd almost like to see Pacquiao get Gatti'd just because no matter what happens people will discredit the win saying Pacquaio was overhyped, shot, had to many distractions, doesn't have the hunger, still hadn't recovered from his cut, was persuaded by the mob to lose, thought he saw the fan man in the sky, wanted a loss to give him the inspiration to write the greatest song ever, ect.

He also discredited Pacquiao's KO of the year on him by stating that he was pretty much done when he got stretched. This is after he beat Malinaggi impressively and he was a changed fighter. I don't care what he says publicly, he was embarassed by Pacquiao in two rounds and won't ever truly give him credit. Even in interviews after that fight he held on to that fraction of round 2 where it was mildly competitive acting as if he could have done something to avoid getting blasted. I also never stated that Pacquiao would "Hatton" FMJr. I said that unless he has really trains for the fight, that he won't be competitive.

What's funny is how Floyd trashed these guys in the build up to the fight and handed them an a55whooping in the ring and they STILL pick him to beat Manny. Marquez, Hatton, De La Hoya all pick Floyd over Manny and Pactards can only come back with "They're butthurt." You have three different guys and all have the same opinion so I doubt its pure hate.

You REALLY THINK THEM BULLSHII Flurries will work on Mayweather? or Any elite fighter for that matter? lmao Didn't say it'd effect him.... but it could affect the judges like I said in my last post

hatton cracks me up. 'it wasn't hard to knock me out the night i fought manny' - manny agrees! Way to try and shamelessly efface all of the credit manny deserves for turning you into a pancake, ricky. Classy, as ever. 'i remember the morning after i fought mayweather thinking how hard he was to fight, but i couldn't say that about manny....' that's because you weren't in the fight, dumbas$! You had barely put your gloves on before you were lying flat on your back unconscious. You were outspeed, outclassed, dropped heavily in the first round twice and sent to sleep with a murderous knockout punch in the second. Of course you didn't think it was hard the next day! You'd just made millions of dollars for less than six minutes work. Why does hatton see the need to continually voice his opinions about may-pac? It's like, ok, ricky, we get it. You pick mayweather. It's not surprising since you actually remember fighting mayweather, whereas the pacquiao fight is probably a blur in your mind - ringwalk, announcements, bell rings, bang bang bang, smelling salts..... lol .................

Who else has Manny " Hattoned " ? Ricky Hatton " Hattoned " Ricky Hatton, imho. He "hattoned" hatton with a legitimate punch unlike your homo idol that "hattoned" ortiz with a sucker punch. :lol1:

Who else has Manny " Hattoned " ? Ricky Hatton " Hattoned " Ricky Hatton, imho. That PArt right there

Even though I'm always critical on Khan... i'm starting to let up on him. Maybe he does have the kind of style to beat May..... in the way that he'll throw flurries and win the judges over with activity. Plus when he hops on his bicycle... he can buy precious time. You REALLY THINK THEM BULLSHII Flurries will work on Mayweather? or Any elite fighter for that matter? lmao

He is still butthurt i see http://pacquiaovsmosley.markmaranga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Pacquiao-KO-Hatton.jpg http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2009/5/3/1241377898672/Manny-Pacquiao-001.jpg Only took two rounds.

Actually in an article posted on here before. Hatton said that he likes Pac better than Mayweather. Ricky is just voicing his opinion. Dude fought both and got smoked by Pac but he feels Floyd's style is a lot more difficult to handle. Lets be honest. Pacquaio would not Ricky Hatton Mayweather.
