How would the Hatton that beat Kostya have done against Pacman?

[ACHlLLES]

Thats the Hatton who was walking through right hands from Kostya. The Hatton who most regarded as having one of the top chins in the sports.

You can walk through punches if you hold and hit your opponent and tire them out. I guess you don't understand... Slow maybe?

[jakkups]

It wouldn't be any different. Like Colin Hart said prior to the fight, "Pacquiao will knockout Ricky Hatton when he feels like it". He pretty much started out the same way against Pac as he did Kostya. Only difference is that Kostya didn't have the speed in his hands or his feet that Manny does which is why Ricky was able to bully him, break him down and beat him handily.

[boojee]

Yes it could, because if he'd moved his head or got his hand up the punch wouldn't have landed flush.

The old Hatton wouldn't have been KO'd like that, outboxed and outworked probably but Ko'd in 2 - no.

wrong Hatton would still got KTFO cold in 2 rounds. Pac was trying to finish your boy in 1 round actually, if havent notice, Pac just ran out of time.

[Pugilistic™]

It would of been a more competitive fight and Hatton would of lasted the distance imo.

Pacquiao still takes the W though.

[AntDawg]

Same outcome since Hatton hands would be down and he wouldn't be able to fight illegally.

Nah, Flattened was just weight drained. Don't get me wrong, that left hook by PAC was as hard and clean as it can f**kin' get, but I really think Flattened's legs weren't there at all.

I even spoke with Onyok Velasco while we were walkin' out of the MGM Grand, and he said that Flattened was weight-drained, but he still thought that PAC would've beaten a non weight drained Flatten.

I said this when i saw the weigh-in but people were giving me grief about how Hatton alway look like that at weigh-in, It cant help for Hatton to be killing himself in making 140 for 10years or so now.

Pacman would still have KO hatton anyway with the first face style but it would not have been that easy.

[MOTHER DUCKER]

Got to love all the Pac nut huggers getting stressed over this, go and seriously watch the hatton early rounds vs Floyd and the Hatton/Pac fight. Not at what Floyd or Pac do but what Hatton does there is a huge difference, at the end of the day pac would probably win a UD still tho.

[DiegoFuego]

Ricky Hatton sucks. If he can't hold and hit, he can't win

[Pullcounter]

same fight different round. Hatton gets KOed under 6

[ji23]

This aint a bait/hate thread i honestly think the fight would have been a lot more competitive. I rate Pacman as the best since SRL (Yeah, even above Sweetpea) so id say Pacman UD but id like to get everyones take on it. Maybe i'm wrong, who knows?

Thoughts?

he wouldve been knocked out in the first round lol
