Former two-weight world champion, Ricky Hatton has provided the public with plenty of insightful stories about his days both inside and outside the ring.

In an extract from his book, Hatton made his distain for the ***8220dckhead***8221; Floyd Mayweather very clear.

But he also told an extremely entertaining tale which really sums up Mayweather***8217;s extraordinary egotism.

Prior to their 2007 fight against one another, ***8216;The Hitman***8217; was traveling by private plane to New York for a promotion event. He soon became aware that Floyd, who was traveling in a separate plane, was ordering his pilot to overtake the English fighter mid-air.


A few minutes into the the journey, we***8217;re chatting away, having a drink when the pilot gestures to me to come forward. ***8216;Hey Ricky, listen to this idiot.***8217;

He turns on the speaker and over the radio I hear Floyd arguing with the pilot of his plane behind: ***8220;I***8217;m not letting that mother****er get there before me, ****ing overtake them!***8221;

***8220;We cant do that, Sir.***8221;

***8220;Overtake that mother****er ***8211; I***8217;m the champ! I***8217;ve got to get to New York first. I***8217;ll pay whatever you want.***8221;

Hatton summed up his opinion of Mayweather in one classic line.


What***8217;s the point of being the world***8217;s best fighter if everyone thinks you***8217;re a ****head?

Drag racing in the sky, was Delahoya present?

Loooooooooool.

Who cares?

The point of being the best fighter of your generation is that when you're old or gone, your record and boxing legacy will remain and unfortunately for Ricky, Mayweather's record will always have a 10th round KO win over him.

Also, I actually like Hatton a lot but when people think about him now, what do they think? Many think of the guy both Floyd and Manny KO'd then he went on a booze and ******* rampage, cheating on his wife and had a mental breakdown.

At the end of the day, everyone has their flaws. Floyd's domestic abuse, Manny's fathering kids to hookers, Hatton being a cokehead and cheater and the list goes on.

The funny thing is, Mayweather never really has a bad word to say about most of the people who speak negative about him.

Why u mad though? It was a funny story. LOL. Hatton didn't put that out to bash Floyd. It was an excerpt from his book. You're acting like its strange that people dislike Floyd.

Haha i'm not mad at all and i completely understand why people dislike Floyd, he can give many reasons for people to dislike him.

I know it was an excerpt from his book but has been doing a fair bit of Floyd bashing recently, probably for his own publicity but he should take a look at himself too.

[TheSlickster]

HAHAHAHAHA! Funny funny.

Ricky Hatton embarrassed the hell out of floyd until that lucky flash KD that was magnified by hitting the corner of the ring which hurt him badly. Floyd always dodged the rematch and with good reason. Cant wait to read this book.
