who beat the better version of hatton??floyd or manny

[Castor_Troy]

To me Floyd took took away Hatton's mindset of invincibility. Pac finished Hatton as an elite fighter. Who fought the better version? Both. Neither Pac or Floyd let Hatton win a round so I'd vote for both.

Reasonable post.

You dont see it?

All the point you mentioned are true but there is a single truth that is greater than all that.


Ricky Hatton is at Jr Welter weight fighter. That was his optimum weight and the lineal and undefeated champion at that weight...

Let me exaggerate a bit...


Calderon at 108 or Calderon at 112 ?
Morales at 122 or Morales at 126 ?
Duran at 135 or Duran above 135?



See it now?

Please don't leave out the FACT that Hatton wasn't "ready" to fight Mayweather at 140 pounds. His team stated that much. When he was "ready", Mayweather was the champ at 147. So why would Floyd go BACK down to 140 to fight a guy that wasn't "ready" for him at that weight? So Ricky moved up, because he had been there before AND he WANTED to fight for Mayweather's belt at 147. His trainer said the weight wasn't a problem, but they struggled with Collazo at 147 BECAUSE they didn't prepare correctly.

boxers bounce off from their loses....

Ali lost to frazier and norton and then beat the hell out of them on the 2nd fight....

how did you knew he was done after the PBF fight since he won against Malignaggi after his pbr lose

i know you are dumb so please you dont need show it here in the forum.....

Yea everyone is dumb for u **** ryders..u paccy worrshippers..but to answer ur question yes some fighters bounce back..that's maybe 2 out of a 1000..most boxers are finished after their 1 loss...prince naseem is one of them and so is hatton..after the floyd fight hatton was a chubby fat man who loved his beer period...like i said floyd finished him and his career..but ur more than welcome to lie to urself.

refute this bro.


140 Hatton > 147 Hatton.

Again, Hatton at 140 wasn't "ready" for Mayweather. Refute that bro. But why are you dudes crying that Hatton had to go UP in weight to fight Floyd? I mean, heck, Hatton MADE Manny come UP in weight to fight him. Why no complaints about that?

Pacman fought Hatton in his own weight division which was 140. Floyd fought him at 147. So in my opinion it was Pac.

[DiLLiNGER]

we found out he didn't have any fight left in him. i'm sure freddy didn't want to beat up on a old shot fighter. in steps floyd.

Don't post if u have nothing good to say..this is a good proof of the ignorance of a paccy hugger..there is a video where roach said that shane was too good of a fighter..but if u need to twist things around just to make a point ..do that.

Alot of people kicked and screamed for the Hatton fight. And when it came off, I don't remember many people complaining about Ricky Fatton having to come UP to fight the top fighter in the sport AT THAT TIME. Some people thought Ricky would knock Floyd out. Then, Floyd knocks out Hatton, then they cry about Hatton having to come up 7 pounds. SMH.

All those are considered and i agree that it's not Floyd's fault it happened at 140.

But we cant deny the reality that almost all of Hattons arsenal are nullified at 147 because clearly he's not even a big Jr Welterweight to begin with.


My point is. its not a foregone conclusion that Floyd's version is the better hatton version because he beat him first. Its very clear that Hatton is so much dangerous at 140.

Larry,

Are we basing this poll based on Hatton's better version on his best weight or totality of his career?

If totality of betterness because going to the fight undefeated - Floyd
If totality of betterness because of his invincibility at 140 - Pacquiao

What does 'If totality of betterness" mean? He also wasn't invincible at 140. Anyway, of course Floyd beat the better version. Hatton was also a lot more up for that fight than any other since Tszyu. I don't think Hatton had the fire for Pac and paid a big price.

Floyd easily beat the better version but Pac looked better.

Pacman fought Hatton in his own weight division which was 140. Floyd fought him at 147. So in my opinion it was Pac.

Again, when Mayweather was in the same weight class as Hatton, Hatton was reportedly "not ready" for Mayweather. These are the facts. Don't overlook them. I give them BOTH credit for their respective wins. But to say that Pac fought the better version of Hatton, when Floyd had humiliated and knocked out AN UNDEFEATED Hatton and took ALOT of his confidence away in their fight, is FUNNY and I think I'll leave this thread alone now.
