    Look at this quote made by a 'boxing historian',

    “Let’s just look at the two fights against Hatton,” said Mike Silver, an historian and author of The Arc of Boxing. “Mayweather calls Hatton ‘the toughest fighter I ever faced’ and Pacquiao utterly destroyed him. C’mon, if Mayweather has the skills he professes to have, he should’ve dominated a club fighter like Hatton.


    This is one of ths ******est things ive read in my life. So because Pac ko'd Hatton in 2 rounds, and because it took Floyd 10, that makes Pac a greater fighter than Floyd?

    WTF???????????????????????????????????????



    So these so called boxing historians must have forgotten how hard it is for fighters to come back from a knockout defeat. Floyd inflicted Hatton his first loss and first KO. If Floyd beat Hatton by decision, then there could be an argument, but Floyd TKO'd him!



    These writers are so negetive towards Floyd, no wonder he says he doesnt read **** thats written about him.


    I mean the reason Michael Rosenthal gave for Floyd being 2nd to Manny was that Manny fought the best fighters, in reference to Oscar and Hatton.

    Then i ask myself, what was a harder fight Pac vs Oscar at 147 where Oscar looked like someone close to his death bed, or Oscar-Mayweather at 154?

    People shouldnt forget, Floyd already beat Oscar and ko'd Hatton before Pac did.

    And this ent a hate thread on Pac, because the guys one of my favourite fighters and i root for him in all his fights. Ive been a fan ever since the Morales fight, so dont think im hating.

    Well it's sort of true, why didn't Floyd watch the tapes and realize Hatton leaves his face open for huge punches.

    It's not really a good reason though, because I think Floyd still dominated a hungrier Hatton, although in a higher weight class, Floyds not really that big himself.

    however, Pacquiaos resume >>> Mayweathers. Way to many good names on Pacquiaos resume, even if he fought bums for the next 2 years he's still an atg because of the work he did in the lower weight classes. At 130+ you can give him a shot at beating anyone from 130,135 and 140 in the history of the sport. Debatable, but still an achievement to be able to be a winning option.

      Of course he's not better in skills than Floyd but what about his competition? Did Floyd take risks? Nobody likes fighters who picks on smaller guys.

        Basically Pacquiao had 2 fighter of the year awards this decade. Floyd has 1. That is also taken into consideration.

            Floyd plays off defense and lets the fight come to him...Pacquiao presses the fight....its easy to see hatton get KOd that fast by pac thats the type of fighter he is..throws a lot....Floyd is a much much better skilled boxer...So are we saying that zab judah and DLH are better boxers then hatton because they went 12 with floyd??? or that Luis Collazo is better the then Kostya Tszyu because he went 12 with ricky??? OR Erik Morales is better the JMM because he beat pac man once and JMM couldnt....**** outta here with that bull****....

                and skills by itself don't guarantee greatness nor a win.

                  I would hope 100% we are saying that. If you dont think DLH is a better boxer than Hatton slap the piss out of yourself and start watching tennis because boxing isnt your thing.

                    Why is Pacquiao always considered to be skill-less compared to Mayweather. He's not as smooth but surely people can see his incredible timing and the fact that he's extremely hard to land flush on due to his constant weaving like a mongoose.

                    You can't become the p4p best fighter in the world by just being fast and hitting hard.

                    Mayweather may have better defensive skill, but Pacquiaos offensive capabilities surpass Mayweathers by a fair margin, he has more experience attacking opponents, his timing is better when coming forward as is his feinting.

                    His counter punching is getting better as well, maybe not quite as good yet since it's generally with only one punch (his right hook) but it's an effective one.

                    Name one fighter Pacquiao has faced that he has never been able to land punches on. He always can. If you run it just gives him room to attack, if you attack him he's shown some vulnerability in his career early on against ATG fw's like Morales, but he's improved that aspect as well, Ricky Hatton, and to a lesser extent David Diaz. Although I think Morales was a lot better than those 2 guys.
