    Pretty much what Ive been saying for 10 pages

      Floyd fought him when he was undefeated and probably higher motivation, Pac however is smaller and is fighting him at his best weight, except i don't think he's as good as he would have been a few years ago.

      It really depends, I gave it to Mayweather by a hair because I really don't think Ricky can deal with an upper echelon fighter, even if it is at his best weight.

          Pacquiao for the folllowng reasons...

          1. Hatton that fought Floyd had never experience defeat and was over confident.
          2. Hatton that fought Floyd was not comfortable at higher weight.
          3. Hatton had no good trainer compared today (according to Hatton camp)
          4. Floyd was naturally bigger and taller.

          1. Hatton that will fight Pac is more experienced and will be extra careful
          2. Hatton will be in his most comfortable weight.
          3. Pac is naturally smaller and shorter.
          4. With Floyd Mayweather Sr in hatton's corner will be totally different (according to his camp).

          There is no such thing as left over in boxing unless the fighter is still in his prime...

            so the guy who beat margarito for the 1st time in his career deserves more credit than mosley?

              he's been awfull since, and i reckon it ****ed his mind up
              Hatton wasn't all that good before he fought Mayweather anyway.

              Pac should get more credit beating Hatton at his best weight.

                  Floyd.. Hatton came to the US as a undefeated champion and went home KTFO with no ''0'' and broken down so much he need Floyds father to help him out now.

                    I'd say they're about even, Floyd beat an undefeated fighter while Pacquiao has moved up in weight significantly.

                      floyd deserves more credit.. but manny pacman will get more credit.. too many pbf haters

                      im not too convinced with the weight thing.. pacman has been weighing in at fight at the welter weight limit since his fights at 130.. pbf is not really a big welter and really A NATURAL 135/140 pounder so the fight with pbf and hatton was basically 2 junior welters fighting
