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

[Gandalf]

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.

Hatton is surrounded by "yes" men as we all know. It's a lame excuse.
