Ricky Hatton Massive Interview Transcript on Pacquiao

[jetgeomcx]

what business does a former flyweight champion have in the ring against a legit 140 pound champion?

really... its like cristian mijares against kostya tszyu man...

the fact that this fight is happening at all is a testament to MP's greatness...

a competitive fight with the 140 world champion is already a great accomplishment for him... and if he wins... imagine that...

you are simply right...!

but i don't if your sarcasm in the first sentence can be understood by simpletons.....

[jetgeomcx]

Keyword in that sentence is FORMER he hasn't been a flyweight for a long time. He's bigger than Hatton in most measurements, and Hatton weighs about 5lbs more on fight night. I sick of people making Pacquiao out to be tiny when he isn't, apart from the DLH fight he moved through the weight classes because he had to and apart from the Diaz fight as weighed more on fight night than his opponents in his recent fights. It's fantastic that he started at lower weights and moved up winning titles, but Pac fans make it out like he still is a flyweight fighting much bigger guys but in reality he isn't.

huh....? 'that' pacfan is a moron....who he?
most, if not all, Pacfans are saying all along that pacman has become bigger and more powerful... now comfortably fyting @ 147 lbs.
but ricky believes otherwise.......to his demise.

Pacquiao hasn't really proved himself above 130, so in that sense Ricky's right. We won't know how well he can take the punches of a legitimate Jnr Welterweight until after the fight; and nor will we know if he has enough power at that weight to knock out an elite fighter who's more or less in his prime until after the fight.

But still, he's at the least a natural Lightweight now, and possibly a natural Jnr Welterweight. The weight he had when he started at is irrelevant, especially as he turned pro when he was only 15.

u are ryt.....and ricky is ryt to say what he believes in.
he may be not ryt come May 2 but as everybody else, he is entitled to his own opinion. jsut like when i believe and say tha manny will be stronger than ricky on May 2.

very few ppol here makes sense......u don't go out too long, ok.

[jetgeomcx]

I wish people would get off ricky's back his giving an interview....ints not like hes an attention whore.....pac is the one thats greedy for political power.....go nag him or something.

that's your opinion alryt,.... but far from the truth.
manny ran for an elective position and he lost.....knocked out by a lady.
manny has the ambition alryt, but he didn't categorically say that he will try and run again....
people are just speculating on it and are assuming too much....
now that's the truth.

[jetgeomcx]

i don't deny any of this!i know fo a fact that pac is pretty small at 147or even 140.alcoholic is actually saying that ricky is not much bigger than pac based on the weight theyre fighting at now which is not what hatton is claiming to be.so it' is like oxymoron to me based on what 2 people said.i think theres a little confusion on each one of us!

hahahahaha......
you are all correct in what u were saying....although perhaps interpreted differently hence the 'little confusion'.
it's like this: "your reasoning is clouded by your own belief".... cheers!
I LOVE THIS GAME.........oooops

Just shut the **** up ricky, you talk too much. Let your fists do the talking. Ricky thinks his this and that ahhh bull****. You're goin down.

He's promoting the fight mate - It's part of his contractual obligations.
