That's not really an accurate comparison, though.
Pacquiao is a hyper active, offensive minded fighter. Whereas Mayweather is a calculating, defensive minded fighter.
It only makes sense that Mayweather's fight with Hatton would last longer than Pacquiao's, just given their styles and history. It's no knock on Mayweather.
And one could easily bring up the fact that the Oscar that Floyd fought was more dangerous than the Oscar that Manny fought. Being it was at Oscar's best weightclass since his days at 147, and he wasn't killing himself to make weight. On fight night he was healthy, focused, and ready to do battle.
Can't say the same about him the night of the Pacquiao fight.
