The one reason Hatton lost to both Floyd and Pacquiao.........

[Swag Hustla]

People need to get over it. Floyd and Pac are just simply better than him. If he didn't underestimate their power (which I think he did), they still would have beat the hell out of him. He probably would have been stopped rather than laying on the floor. Hatton wasn't that much better in his prime. He was a great fighter, but there's not much from his prime that shows me that he had enough skills to hang with future legends like Floyd or Pac. I don't think he was that badly shot. He had great power, speed, and reflexes against the faster and skilled Malignaggi. And despite having a deteriorated chin, I believe he was only down against Mayweather and Pacquiao (could be wrong).
He is not overrated, just an over-achiever who took it as far as he could with his skills. Just remember Pac is not an older Castillo or Tszyu and Floyd is not Ray Oliveria.

Listen mofo's before you jump on this ****;

Prime Hatton would have beaten the hell out of Pac at 140lb.
The guy who Pac sparked out wasnt half the man that he once was: the chin, his strength, his conditoning, his reflexes, punsh power/variety all has deteriorated.

As for PBF - He's straight up just the better man, but a prime Hatton would not have been stopped. Even though he still gave Mayweather his toughest fight...even Harold Leaderman only had Ricky down by two rounds at the time of the stoppage.

Pac KO's any version of hatton.. Simply because of his style.. That hatton that pac KTFO was coming off an impressive win against malignaggi.

Hatton is the most over rated fighter who came out from the Island. He's a product of the British media hype machine...

They both better than him.

He underestimated the power of both fighters.


And they say a fool always makes the same mistake twice....!

I think he overestimated his own power...

and skill...
and footwork...
and speed...
and strength.

Name it and he overestimated it. The guy believed his own hype. He thought he was between 1 & 3 P4P.

Theres more than one reason but that probably was one.

[bojangles1987]

He lost to both because he simply isn't as good as either. Even with full respect for both Mayweather and Pacquiao he wouldn't have been able to beat either.

A prime Hatton would have taken Paulie out within 6.

Paulie gave Cotto alot of trouble. Also Paulie is known to have a great chin.
