Why do people give pac more credit for beating hatton and Dlh?

[tocayito1]

Ummmmm??? Since when did Pac star weighing more that DLH or Hatton?
Pac weighed in at 142 vs Delahoya 147
Pac fight night weight was 148 vs De La Hoya at 150++

no on fight night oscar weighed 147 he was very weight drained

We all know that Hatton is sluggish and fat at 147. Other point about De La Hoya are true but casual fans won't necessarily see that. They would only see Oscar get dominated while Floyd won a somewhat controversial decision..

Not in the Floyd fight. It was the Collazo fight that Ricky decided to bulk up and wanted to be a true WW because he thought he needed it to compete and bully. However, it didn't quite work out like Team Hatton planned and they learned from their mistake. When they fought Floyd, Team Hatton said they would not have Ricky bulk up again and would stick to his normal JrWW weight...which specifically was his fight-time weight of 147+ {rehydrated}

If anything, you saw a healthy Hatton. Someone that didn't have to drain himself for the scales to make 140.

It's like Floyd and Pac at 147/WW: How much do they show up by fight-time? For Floyd, pre-retirement.

Now for Pac vs. Hatton: Floyd took some shine off of Hatton by popping his cherry but the destruction of Hatton the way Pac did it was incredible. Still one of the best KO's I've seen.


Oscar: not even close...Floyd had the better win because Oscar was alive and healthy. Although, Floyd still fought a past prime Oscar so his hype about that fight as a Great win is bull****.

Cause their haters, no other explanation.

I give Mayweather more credit for beating DLH than i give to Pacquiao based on the fact Mayweather faced a a healthy De la Hoya who was in his natural weight class (154).

Oscar looked in awful condition at 147 against Pacquiao.

I give Pacquiao more credit for beating Hatton based on the fact he faced Hatton in his natural weight class (140) and he blew him away in 2 rounds Where Mayweather took 10 rounds to stop Hatton outside of his natural weight class.

Why are people saying he one a contrevorsial decision against DLH? Have you seen the punch stats.. If anything the contreversy was the fact that it was a SD.

I do think that Hatton was having trouble making 140, in those last few fights, he blatently didn't look right at the weigh ins.

In the Pac weigh in my dad (who never watches boxing) commented that Hatton looked like a chemotherapy patient, while Pac looked strong.

This is no fault of Pac though, It's Hattons fault for walking around at such ridiculous weights before the fights.

lol punchstats. did you see the runstats?

[Blue Heffner]

Because they were bigger opponents...but I don't really give much credit. Cotto is full credit...Hoya, Hatton not so much! Simply because Roach purposely targeted, in his words, finished fighters.

pacman is the smaller fighter.
