Hatton “Pacman the hardest puncher I faced, but Mayweather beats him”
By Zato
Ricky Hatton was in Johannesburg, South Africa last month and did a quick interview with David Isaacson of Timeslive. When asked by Isaacson Who’s the hardest puncher you’ve ever fought? Hatton said “I would probably say Manny Pacquiao, but having said that I don’t think I was in the best condition”
Hatton also praises Manny Pacquiao as a gentleman, nice guy and family man who he really admires. When questioned who would win in a possible Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight, Hatton said he would like to think Manny would win and root for him, But as much as he dislikes Mayweather, Mayweather would probably pip him.
In a funny turn, Hatton told Timeslive his most embarrassing moment, one was being knocked out , and another when a newspaper found out he had a phobia of cats they wrote up and article and posted a picture of a cat with a boxing glove, to this day Hatton can’t go near cats .

I gotta say that Hatton is right Mayweather is much to much for the Oriental fellow. I would have to disagree with Hatton though I think Kostya Tszyu was the hardest puncher he fought. Pacman is way to small and I feel he has bitten off more than he can chew with this Cotto fight.
I will always root for you Hatton!!! you are the most humble and proud to have you as a countryman
There is no other boxer like you a man of the people please stay retired mate.
Hatton is the true peoples champion not Pacquiao, not Cotto, not Calzaghe, not mayweather! that is one thing you will always have over everyone else Hatton and be proud.
I disagree with the englishman. i feel that the oriental guy will conquer the african american
Hey british beefcake,
how can you disagree with hatton on who was the hardest puncher he has faced? you weren’t the one copping the punches hatton was.
Parame
because it is common sense that Kostya hits harder than Pacquiao…Urango also hits harder, Pacman just landed the perfect super luckiest punch in the world with his eyes closed just like tarver vs jones when tarver landed that lucky punch with his head down and eyes closed.
British Beefcake WHY DON YOU JUST ACCEPT THAT YOU ARE SAYING THIS THINGS BECAUSE YOU CANT ACCEPT WHAT PACMAN DID TO YOUR COUNTRY MAN. THE CAMERA DIDNT LIE. DONT TELL ME HBO EDITED THE LIVE COVERAGE OF HATTON-PAC FIGHT HAHAHAHA. IT WAS PAC WHO SEND HATTON TO DREAMLAND AND NOT GAYWEATHER. PAC DEFEATED YOUR HATTON ON HIS OWN DIVISION WHILE GAYWEATHER DEFEATED HATTON ON AYWEATHERS DIVISION. PAC KILLED HATTON 4X AS FAST AS GAYWEATHER KO HATTON. NO MATTER HOW YOU TURN THE WORLD UP AND DOWN EAST OR WEST THE TRUTH NEVER LIES.AND THE WORLD SAW THE TRUTH
andrew you think you are the shit now, watch vato when pacman get ko hard by cotto i will type in CAPS too with all HA HA HA HA while you cry pinche chinito
british beefcake,
all i’m saying is how can you disagree with someone who was in the ring himself copping the hits. that’s all. I mean, i agree with you that common sense says that tszyu was probably the harder puncher but when the guy who fought both is saying that the harder puncher is pacquiao how can you argue with that. Common sense tells me to agree with the guy who experienced both and not some wanna be boxing expert.
I think you guys are still dreaming.
Pacman is the hardest puncher mymannnn.
Hatton get tko in 2nd round and then you are saying the other guy is the… oh my gush….
Some people just can’t accept that Manny Pacquiao is the best. You guys are in denial. Once PAC beats Cotto by 1st rnd KO, we still see these people giving LAME excuses. The only person that can beat PAC is floyd, but that’s a 50-50 fight.
