Past my best when I fought Mayweather & Pacquiao - Hatton

British boxing legend Ricky Hatton admits he was "slightly past" his best for the two highest-profile fights of his career.

Defeat by Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas back in 2007 was the first of Hatton's career. He was knocked out Pacquiao in the same arena 18 months later.

"You still train hard, you've still got your game plan but I think part of me, without even realising it, relaxed a little bit," said former two-weight world champion Hatton.
