Quite gutted about that, but not as disappointing as when he was beaten by Mayweather due to also being a Pacquiao fan and him being likeable guy as well, but the way he lost was pretty humiliating, like Mayweather Pacquiao was and is clearly a step of class above, but Hatton’s tactics was shocking. Mentally he seems unfocused not being able to follow basic tactics and stick to a game plan, he seemed amateurish.
Though what I found most bemusing about the whole fight was the pound for pound status being thrown about and Hatton was constantly drumming on about.
How on earth can he claim to be the pound for pound king by beating a fighter whom has been campaigning at 130 or below for most of his career?
However for fight fans the result was the right one and has setup the fight everyone would like to see, Pacquiao vs Mayweather.
As for Hatton, everyone is calling for him to retire, I don’t think he will leave like this, I reckon he will have a farewell fight back in England, perhaps against Marquez were he to lose to Mayweather, maybe De La Hoya or even a fight against Witter might finally happen.
