Kostya didnt look faded in the fights prior to Hatton and he didn't look faded in that fight, so how do you figure? Because he lost on his ass? At least he fought back. Oscar layed down and was LITERALLY going to retire in Dec. '08.
Exactly my point. Hatton was only ever solved by a purely defensive counter puncher like Floyd. Manny, while good, is nothing like Floyd.
Paulie was as fast as Manny and still stood no chance against Hatton. He took a beating all around the ring in the same fashion Oscar did except he is in his prime. Landing 3 hard punches in the whole fight does not constitute beating Hatton. Left hooks from a orthodox stance is allot different from a southpaw straight left.
You have no way to know that Hatton will get landed on and that Manny wont. One thing is certain though. Manny has been down on body shots and Hatton can throw them. Hatton can also move in on his feet faster than Manny can back up. The distance will get closed and we will see what happens when it does. Every style has a counter style. Lets see who's wins this battle.
P.S. I got 10K on Hatton if you are interested.
