If Hatton fought and beat Pacquiao at Wembley...

lmaoooooooo it would be because pacmans white and past his best

People will no longer criticize this fight based on weight, although Hatton would indeed still be the larger and probably stronger man.

No, it depends completely how the fight plays out. I don't particularly like Hatton and I don't think he has enough in his tank to cope with a Pacquaio right now. But if he wins, I'll give him credit. I don't give Calzaghe credit for thr RJJ fight considering how it played out - RJJ was plainly shot to pieces. Wait for the fight and see how it plays out, befoe trying to pre-empt excuses from the other side. Presumably you didnt give Pac and credit for beating DLH then?

I do feel like doing the same with Paul Williams. I think the Brit's should have a random figure of hate. lol I don't think Williams is really very good at all. He did beat Margarito (albeit in a very close fight, much closer than his retarded fanboys claim) but beyond that he has been kept away from real punchers frankly because I think his defense is so ropey. I reckon Cotto stops him.

Yes but you're not a yank. It's the yanks (who make up the majority on here) who produce the most outrageous excuses for fighters they dislike enjoying any success. I do feel like doing the same with Paul Williams. I think the Brit's should have a random figure of hate. lol

Lacy was shown to be overrated and one-dimensional by how the fight played out (and his subsequent career). A top level fighter does not get his ass handed to him like that. Hopkins isn't shot. But the problem is that he's past him physical prime, during which he would have matched Calzaghe workrate, which lost him the fight. Again, we saw how that played out during the fight as Hopkins faded badly against Calzaghe's work rate. The point is, a younger Hopkins would have been able to sustain it for 12 rounds. That's not a built in excuse, it's what we saw from how the fight played out. I give Calzaghe credit for Kessler, because the way the fight PLAYED OUT, Kessler was very much a competitive, live opponent. Yes but you're not a yank.

Hatton should get all the credit in the world. Because Manny Pacquiao is a better fighter plain and simple. If Ricky could maul his way to victory and be fast enough to get in close and negate that left hand so be it. Ricky vs Tszyu would possibly beat Pacman. I'd favour Pacman to light him up though.

Wait for the fight and see how it plays out, befoe trying to pre-empt excuses from the other side. RJJ was what it was. A money fight for two guys coming to the end of their career. I'm more thinking of the Hopkins fight. Oh and the Kessler and Lacy fights which all had their silly excuses. Beating Hopkins in between his two most meaningful wins is apparently beating up an old shot guy... And we know what the excuses will be.

Depends how the fight would play out. Can someone close this thread now? It wouldn't depend on anything. All we know is that certain fighters cannot be allowed any credit. One of them is Hatton, the other is Calzaghe.

I feel you there is alway different excuse for whatever happens in the ring..They would probably say pacman lost because he was black!!!

Or if mayweather beat pacquaio
