Unfortunately, a lot of us base it that way, but fortunately a lot more don't. Hatton never lost at that weight and he's in his prime, but so what? Manny got better with every fight he fought that it seems like he's only begun being in his prime. Hatton never lost in that division, okay, but if anybody had to pick ANY boxer to defeat Hatton in that weight, they'd pick Pacquiao to be the man. No question to that.

I hope somebody tells Ricky that the p4p title is a mythical boxing title....so IF he is able to some how pull off a miracle and beat Pac......the p4p title would go to the next guy on the list and thats not Ricky Hatton.....thats Joe Calzaghe or JMM.......ask Tarver how it works

People are quick to jump to an excuse for Delahoya once he got BEATDOWN by Pac. The weight drained crap is overused. Delahoyas Trainer, Brother, Nacho, and cutman Chavez said Delahoya was fine and made weight prior to the fight. Delahoya was training from the 145-150lb limit and made the weight fine.
Sure that Delahoya wasnt the DLH from the late 90's early 2000 but the man was competitive 7 months prior to the fight with Forbes. Delahoya was not drained he was just outworked by Pac speeds, head movement, footwork, and southpaw style.
Pac beat a legitimate Welterweight into submission. Yes, Hatton will be more aggressive then Oscar im sure of that, but he's going to have outsmart Pacquiao stop his left and stay inside but before that happens expect an onslaught.Comment

and who has hatton fought at 140?..hes been coddled in england 4 most of his career..2 fights in america..shudve lost 2 collazo and lost 2 mayweather..this fight wont b close especially if the ref doesnt allow hatton 2 holdComment

were not just basing it on the last two fights, were basing it on his whole career. he has always fought the best and won big. this time will be no different, as much as like hatton he wont cope with pacs speed, heart and determination.Comment

what is hatton known more for? His shots to the body (castillo). In order for hatton to attack pacquiaos body he would have to take some serious leather.you think pac is going to allow hatton to come in and fight an inside fight? Hatton doesnt box on the outside he swings coming in and when he's in, thats when he does most of his work. He rarely works off a jab. His game is in the inside and he will take some serious punches coming in. I promise you, once pac senses hatton weakening towards the mid to late rounds he'll+come+in+and+throw+more+punches.+pac+can+clos e+a+show+once+he+senses+that+his+man+is+weak.Comment

The fact is Hatton beat Urango, Collazo, Mallignaggi, Castillo, all on foreign soil. He only lost to the greatest fighter of the last couple of decades.
And Hatton doesn't hold as much as people make out. He likes to fight on the inside and his opponents tie him up making it look like Hatton is holding...aka Mallignaggi.Comment

You're in a deep illusion...even w/out Oscar win Manny's accomplishments is a far ahead of Hatton...he battle the P4P fighters at their peak & elite champions like Barerra 2x, Morales 3x, Marquez 2x, etc....he's a 4weight division champion...do u know how to compare things...Hatton vs Tyszo is the only elite champion he beats but still questional result cause of too much holding/hugging...hatton vs collazo also has a questionable result...
