Hatton himself sympathised with De La Hoya, whose fine career looks all but over, and heaped praise on an 'oustanding' display from Pacquiao.
"I'm a little bit sick because sometimes you see some of your heroes, so many great fighters, end their careers in that manner but thankfully he (De La Hoya) is okay," Hatton said.
"He's such a great champion, such a role model for the game and it wasn't really nice to see that, but credit to Manny Pacquiao - outstanding, pound-for-pound No.1.
"I want to fight the best people in the world, I want to win world titles, I want to move up and down the weight divisions and I've done that and I feel very blessed that I'm in a position to fight Manny Pacquiao - he was outstanding tonight."
sounds like Hatton wanted De La Hoya? anyway, it sounds like its on baby!
