It's a big fight and he should leave it at that. He was saying it again in that Smitty interview and TBH I wish he would stop it. It only encourages other people who know nothing about boxing to start spouting the same. "Oh, Hatton beat Manny who was No 1 so Hatton must be number 1 now!". Reality check.....NO, IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!! Now if Hatton can beat Marquez after then he might have a claim, but otherwise, no. If he beats Manny he can go up to number five for me. But it needs a further big win to take him higher.

I think it's important that Hatton wins this fight as I think the future of the human civilisation depends upon it. A Manny Pac win could have catastrophic consequences and doesn't bear thinking about.
Yeah it's really absurd... and Hatton won't stop mentioning it... The latest in his diary at Yahoo Sports page...

"If I beat Manny Pacquiao and become the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world on Saturday there will be one hell of a party when I get back to England.

 Such an occasion demands a special venue, and I already know the perfect place.

The New Inn Pub in Hattersley, just down the road from where I live, is your typical, no-frills English ale house..."
