Will Hatton be given credit if he defeats Pacquiao?

[THE REED]

no not good for Ricky, he's an American ref.

We've seen how refs change their reffing style to suit certain fighters. Pacquiao is worth more to HBO than Hatton.

Neither fighter is American, and neither fighter lives in America.

lol I really could give a **** about race and nationalities... it's the gods honest truth...

I'll actually be looking forward to Froch's next fight... his lack of defense, but determination, chin and power make him exciting to me...

although I want a taylor rematch

any Taylor rematch will be in Nottingham, England and he'll probably be knocked out again. He's a good fighter, but not good enough to go away from home and beat a boxer with a chin and heart like Froch.

The fight will be wherever the money is.. that is what Froch is interested in, it's exactly what he said. He wants the big names and the big money, he's 30 years and old and can't waste time.

If he can make 3 million in England but 5 million in the US.. He will be in the U.S.

no but one is worth more in terms of securing interest in a future megafight with FMJ. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bayless break them up every time they get close.

A Hatton fight is just as big, AND... the biggest part, a Hatton fight for Floyd is MUCH more makable then a PACMAN fight.

Floyd and Arum hate eachother and they will not come to terms, Hatton wants his rematch, and badly.

The Hatton fight is more doable and realistic, and if Floyd had to choose he would choose a Hatton rematch.

If they try and discredit the win because of Hatton being the bigger man, they are discrediting Pacquiao's win against De La Hoya at the same time. Say their excuse is that Pacquiao is less effective at 140+ and that he shouldn't be fighting above 135, why was he able to deal with De La Hoya at 147? It wasn't like Pacquiao defeated Oscar the way Oscar did with Vargas where despite being physcially overpowered he found a way to win. So if that was a credible win why wouldn't a Hatton defeat be anything other than a massive dent to his resume

Honestly, I think Oscar's performance had more to do with Oscar then it did with Pacman... not that Pac didnt BRING IT.

Exactly but I am saying for those who try to justify it as a great win, can't be he same people who then go on to say, if Manny loses, that Manny shouldn't be fighting above 140 or make some weight excuse for the loss

So you won't be giving Hatton any credit if he wins?

That seems a bit ree****yaluss to me...

Oh I agree, this is an even fight for me... not in the sense of who I think is better or who will win... but their both the same age, their both the same size GIVE OR TAKE... they are both prime... Hatton is undefeated at 140 in 43 some fights... pacman is the #1 p4p fighter...

The Winner gets FULL credit no matter who it is..
