Retired former British boxing star and world champion Ricky Hatton was recently on TMZ, where he naturally was asked about Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor. Does “The Hitman” believe McGregor has a shot at victory? (Spoiler: Nope.)
“I’m a big Conor McGregor fan,” Hatton said, “and if he ever watches this interview I hope he doesn’t take this to heart, because he’s like me. He’s a real guy, he’s a comedian, he’s a character, he’s a colorful person, and when you watch his style of fighting I absolutely love the bloke. But it’s two different sports and I couldn’t hit him, Oscar [De La Hoya] couldn’t hit him, Canelo [Alvarez] couldn’t hit him, Conor’s not going to hit him.
