Mayweather took something away from Ricky - maybe not destroyed him, but he was never the same after that.
Manny may have destroyed him now but we won't know until we see what Ricky does next.Comment

Of course he wanted the rematch. He was in denial. He blamed Cortez, Graham, and everyone else but himself in the Floyd fight. Any smart as person would know that Floyd broke him down in that fight. He wanted to add Floyd Sr, because he thought he could be the difference. We all know how that turned out.
If Floyd fought Hatton again he would have been gone sooner. If Floyd fought Hoya at 147, Oscar would have got a beating to.
But yes Pac did finish Hatton. That was a brutal KOComment

While we're at it, popular NSB myths that make me giggle.
You know, Ricky didn't just walk through Malignaggi last November because Paul had virtually no offense and just spent the majority of the fight trying to cling on and limit the damage.
Oh, nooooooooooo. Ricky outboxed him and 'outspeeded' him. Sh'yeah.
And Ricky did just conveniently throw all these wonderful stylistic and strategic modifications out the window in his performance against Pacquiao. Oh, of course. That was the old Ricky in there, not the slick technician who pure-boxed Malignaggi's ears off 6 months prior. Uh-huh.
Where was the old Ricky's use of his footspeed in evidence in that fight? Not present at all, really.
He tried to follow the gameplan. He started out just as he did against Malignaggi, which any fool said before the fight would get him beaten to crap against Pacman.
And, naturally, when he started out that way and was punished badly for it, he fought raggedly in survival mode.
Point is, he didn't throw out any gameplan. He executed it with as mediocre a level of accomplishment as he did against Paul, and Pacman could punish it in ways Malignaggi couldn't, that's all.
Pacquiao was not facing a peak Ricky Hatton or a Ricky Hatton who could have given him a really stressful stylistic test. Let's not bull****.
Not to say that Pacquiao wouldn't still have worked a peak Ricky Hatton, but he would have been giver a longer, tougher fight.Comment

If i was a boxer, i know my confidence would be seriously rocked by such a quick KO that Manny gave him. I don't think Floyd took that much away from him...that fight went the distance, right? But Floyd won convicingly.Comment

It was stopped in the 10th.
You're probably correct, though - taking lead rights, left hooks, plus uppercuts and bodypunches inside for 30 minutes until he was systematically broken down and put on his back sleepy for the first time in his career likely did nothing to deplete Hatton's reserves.Comment
