PSA: That was the best Hatton, ever. And you're a fool if you deny it.

[ILLuminato]

Look at the first couple of minutes in the fight. Hatton was really energetic, and Manny was really uncomfortable. Manny was landing a couple of counter hooks but nothing serious.

And then Manny simply figured Hatton out. Manny doesn't fight like Floyd "Potshot" Mayweather, he counters with hard, sharp counters after he lands that first counter. That's what really dug De La Hoya in. Mentally it makes fighters hesitate, and that's what happened, Ricky began hesitating and it made him throw wild shots. That's all Pacquiao really needed.

Manny has the best timing in the game right now, I mean when you fight at 122, 126, 130, 135 all of those guys are much faster at those divisions. When you move up to higher weights its like fighting in slow motion.

Another thing to note is that Malignaggi would have went the distance with Hatton had Buddy Mcgirt and Lou Dibella hadn't been paid off to stop it early. That was a Malignaggi with no offense really, so we were made to believe "Ricky was new and improved", when really he wasn't, he was still punching with his head in the air. Now if a guy with no offense/power can go the distance, what could ever make you believe Hatton had a decent chance of defeating Pacquiao? And Hatton didn't look "faded or shot" in that fight. He actually was very disciplined in between the fights, and they had a 12 week training camp.

So stop claiming Hatton was shot in order to bump up your boy Floyd! You can't fool me!

I mean, they called Hatton Mayweather's "best win", which showed either A: they havent been watching boxing that long, B: They thought that Hatton was a good fighter(which he was), or C: They were saying whatever Fraud wanted them to say.

Hatton has always been a second rate fighter. Everyone knew Manny would KO him.

It's just that it was such a spectacular KO. I can understand people going ape ****. But come on. Hatton has a big target on his face.

Why did it take 10 rounds for Floyd to stop him then.

It's wasn't the "best" hatton, but it was close enough, certainly close enough for there to be no excuses or reason to take anything from pac.

Hatton was the best 140lb in the world on may 1st and no one can argue with that.

[paul750]

Years and years of going up and down in weight will probably have weakened him. That being said, he probably would have been beaten anyway.

who's saying hatton is shot?

[ILLuminato]

who's saying hatton is shot?

There is a number of people. "Ricky's binging has caught up", saying he was weight drained, and whatever else bs excuses I've seen.

Why did it take 10 rounds for Floyd to stop him then.

Dude. Stop yourself. You can't do that. You seem like a boxing idiot when you do that.

[K-Nan]

Why did it take 10 rounds for Floyd to stop him then.

Because Floyd Mayweather is much more methodical than Manny Pacquiao/. Manny is a beast that goes for the kill when he sees the smallest opening. Floyd will only go for it if the risk isn't too high. Its not to discredit Mayweather that I say this- I'm just stating the facts. He is a different knd of fighter than Pac, altogether.
