Ricky Hatton Should Get A Lot Of Credit

No, it would've just confirmed my opinion that Manny at his best wasn't good enough to beat Floyd at his. No more, no less.

Prior to the fight, I said Manny was going to keep throwing and that gave him a great chance to win.

he didn't, hence the resounding defeat.

Manny throwing more would have only resulted in Floyd moving and clinching more. Same results.

Hatton had the right style to compete against Mayweather because he had better footwork. In addition, he was a swarming/mauling pressure fighter that was more adept at cutting off the ring. Ricky had a tendency of smothering and suffocating his opponents on the inside where as Pac is more of a boxer/puncher who relies mostly on timing, accuracy and combination punching from a proper distance.
