    3 KOs dont erase everything Pac has accomplished.

    getting KTFO doesnt erase anything hatton has acheived either, but hatton has acheived far less than pac imho.

      Of course Hatton is a great fighter. You don't need to be Ali to be considered a great fighter.

        Fail. Morales did not KO him. (KTFO= Knocked the F*** Out???) I thought Pman had only 3 losses? And Morales was not a nobody.

          Many posters try to discredit all of Hatton's accomplishments because he got TKO'd by Floyd. I don't remember Chico being treated as harshly as Hatton after getting destroyed much worse by Floyd. Thankfully we'll get to see who's better while both are still in their primes.

            Regardless, Hatton only has 1 loss and it was to the P4P #1 ranked fighter.

              Yeah, being a one dimensional fighter makes him not a great fighter

                Hatton is a good fighter, Just not at the elite level.

                  Hatton is a humble figure, has intensity in his style, a conviction in his boxing and a second home in Las Vegas. We have to be honest about Hatton; he is not a great fighter. If he was, he would not be great in the same way that Pacquiao is. It has even been disputed by his most asinine critics that he is just a journeyman and a very lucky one. He has just been fortunate to have the right connections and an endearing personality.

                  I think this is a little unfair but they do have a point. Hatton is erratic. Since he destroyed the legend of Kostya Tyszu in 2005, undoubtedly a magnificent achievement, his record has been patchy. He split from Frank Warren and went to America to make himself into a superstar. At least that has been accomplished. His first fight in the US in Boston in 2006 was at a weight and country he had never fought in. One could say it was a courageous move but one could also argue it was a ****** one, as he should have taken on a softer opponent compared to Louis Collazo.

                  Collazo’s southpaw stance and range gave him a lot of trouble. Nevertheless, Hatton did his best and came out with a dubious decision.
                  I'll bet you or anyone he kicks pacquaio's ass......
