Should HATTON be embarrassed to fight the TINY Pacquiao?

Should Mayweather be embarassed for fighting a smaller Hatton?
and don't give me all that bull****.. Mayweather is now a natural welter..

Mayweather isn't ashamed because he has been moving up in weight fighting bigger guys time and time again without excuses.

Ricky made the weight excuse against Floyd and now he wants to fight a former flyweight turned super-featherweight in Pacquiao.

Pacquiao better whoop his ass if the fight happend.

you fool, didn't the fact that Hatton didn't get knocked out by Lazcano by the same punch show you that it wasn't the Mayweather check-hook that did the damage but the punches in the previous rounds, chiefly the hits he took as a result of Cortez in the earlier rounds

i could've hit hatton in the 10th and he would've went down, Cortez set him up

your just embarassed floyd knocked your boy the **** out....stop making excuses

A few things: Pacquiao wants the fight. Pac clearly thinks he can win, and he's a big name, it'd be a big fight and it has been talked about for quite some time, prior to the Mayweather bout. Second Mayweather often justified moves by saying "If it makes dollars it makes sense". Apparently what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. And finally if Hatton were to take a fight against Bradley or Torres (Not Witter, that moment has well and truly passed) for less money then these same chumps would be criticising him for "ducking" a former flyweight.

Should HATTON be embarrassed to fight the TINY Pacquiao?

Yes.

But if he actually lost to Pac, embarrassment would not be a deep enough word.




In fairness, Oscar should be shamed for considering a fight with Hatton also...though if Ricky was the true warrior he claims, he would not have turned that fight down.

Pac is many times the warrior Hatton is.

One more thing. This idea that Hatton made excuses about the extra weight is also bull****. His comments about the extra weight have been taken out of context. The correct context is that he was being interviewed at the post fight presser after both fights and responded to a direct question: Did you think that the extra weight had an impact?

In both cases he said that it did.

making "excuses" for a loss is overrated.

when you lose a fight the press is gonna ask you why you think you lost.

any answer you give is an "excuse"

these are great athletes. involved even the most pedestrian journeyman is more talented than any of us mere mortals.

to be great , you have to think you're great. if a guy beats them what do you expect them to say? i'm not that good? i can't beat him? he's better than me? if they really think that it's not a good mentality for their next fight.

mentality and confidence (even arrogance) means everything. if you think you can't win...... more than likely you'll lose.

i know pac is small but the fight will answer (at least for me) some of the what ifs...

and at the same time give me more what ifs...

Marvin Hagler lost to a WW in Ray Leonard one who had been inctive for 2 years for that matter with no tune up fight what so ever
