How much credit does Hatton get beating Pacman???

[Joe's left hook]

If Hatton wins and wins convincingly then he deserves a lot of credit regardless of Pacquiao being a naturally lighter weight fighter.

Pacquio has fought (and won) at a higher weight than light-welterweight.

I don't think the weight will be a problem.

Yes, Hatton (even if he did win a World title at that weight) has always struggled at welterweight, whereas Pacman struggled not one bit at such a high weight.

i think it depends on how hatton wins. if hatton can outbox pac before ko'ing him then i think people start putting hatton in top5 p4p. if hatton is getting outboxed and then ko's pac then its hard to tell...some people may think that hatton was just too big.
