Hatton Downplays Pacquiao's Win Over De La Hoya

[hammerhiem]

Castillo was in there to lose. Pacquiao pulled off an upset of epic proportions, whatever way you slice it. It will go down in history. History doesn't look at where a fighter was (in terms of primes, only historians and REALLY knowledgable fans do that), simply what happened.

**** in there to lose, he had four of his ribs broken.

I'd put money on it that you would be crying like a ***** with even one rib cracked much less broken.

the Idea that Castillio went into the fight to lose is utterly and completely ******ed.

[Mr. Philadel]

Castillio ranked 9 P4P by ring less than 2 years since his biggest win.

ODLH not ranked P4P in 5 years, not fought at 147 in 8 years, and 6 years since his last significant win...

Yeah hatton SHOULD take more credit, he actually KO'd Castillio with a peach of a punch that broke four ribs.

I felt like Castillo took the first door out.....he wasn't gettin' paid for the fight, his purse went to back taxes.......he fought for free and NOONE likes to put in work for free.....if Hatton should take credit for stoppin' an uninspired fighter? NO!!.....hell no!....but it was a peach though, a very nice well placed body shot......picture perfect!

To be fair JMM has a great chin.

JMM doesn't have a great chin, anything that lands flash in there, he almost always goes down, but he has the best recuperating power in the business. I don't know how he can shake off the cobwebs that easy like it was nothing...

I would'nt downplay the win but it helps if the other guy actually tries to hit back

Hatton so good he ducked Oscar, while Manny had the balls to get in the ring with Oscar
