15 minute Ricky Hatton interview, "I left my performance in the gym for Pacquiao".

[Majesty]

Sounds a lot better then "I realized I'd overtrained when I got knocked out"

[Taeth]

I am not sure about the whole overtraining and shit, but I do know when I watch Pacquiao-Hatton and him against Mayweather that he came in faster against Mayweather and reacted to speed speed somewhat better in that fight. I just think Hatton is terrible against southpaws and Pacquiao is one guy you can't keep getting hit cleanly against. IMO Hatton has a decent chin, but he couldn't see those right hooks, or that left hook that put him into what looked like a comma.

when you fight blinkered that tends to happen. I don't think over-training does that UNLESS you thought/believed you over-trained and tried to go for the quick win in which case all your defences (in this case) are as low as your hands.

yea i agree, i think that he just had too much doubt in himself and it showed in his ring walk, he didn't look confident and his gameplan (or lack of one) only solidified it, Pac was the better man end of

almost all fighters are the worst kind of excuse makers, you have to retain that self belief if you want to fight in the future even if it means deluding yourself.

surely in that case you would still know deep down you were faking?

Maybe. Still its not that hard to convince yourself of something you really want to believe.

Especially if all around you people are saying yeah yeah you over trained that's it.
