Who gets more credit for beating Hatton? Floyd for being the first or Pacquiao?

None of them deserve that much credit for beating Hatton.

Hatton was never any good to begin with, Floyd didnt ruin him because there was nothing really to ruin. Pacquiao would have KOed a prime Hatton in 2 rounds also.

The reason Pacquiao won in 2 rounds opposed to Floyds 10 is that Hatton is a much better style matchup for Pacquiao.

And this coming from a pbf fan? Kinda rare to see unbiased fanboys dont'cha think??

Pac only fought Hatton because floyd knocked him out. Hatton took a lot of hard punches (almost 50% connect rate) in the head from floyd.

If floyd was not part of this discussion, I find it hard to believe anyone would say a fighter who lost for the first time by KO after taking 10 rounds of punishment somehow got better 2 fights later.

Yeah right hatton should'nt get better after taking shots from a feather fisted guy.. DUH!!

*****s keep saying Hatton was undefeated. So what? The hatton who fought Pac was better than the hatton who fought PBF.
Hatton was not lacking confidence like *****s try making out when he fought Pac. He was trying to take Pacs head off his shoulders and forgot about his defense. A bad situation against a puncher like Pac.

Dont try convincing people who think for themselves that beating someone in 10 rounds is better than beating someone in 2 seconds.

Please explain why Hatton was better?

castillo got knocked out 4 times before he even fought floyd or became world champ. how the hell did he get better? miracle? roids? maybe you should stop with your "he was battle torn" or "he took his heart" rhetoric cause it's not based on anything factual.

People wont just accept the fact that Pacs win is a better win than Floyds. Its because it is a better win that it is Pac who gets FOTD awards. It dont mean Pac would beat Floyd but dont try fooling people by thinking too much about things.

So once youve lost you cant improve and that it. The nail in the coffin for every boxer who ever walked the earth. Everyone should just retire after losing there first fight!

You *****s are bad for the game. Not good motivators for self improvement.

Hugh calling me a ***** in no way makes your argument valid. Taking my point to the exterme doesn't either. Ricky hatton did not improve between the time he fought floyd and the time he fought Manny. If you feel otherwise fine.

All of floyds opponenets, Hatton included, say he hits harder than you expect. Plus his punches arefast and accurate, increasing the damage they do.

Please explain why Hatton was better against Pac?

Floyd fans dont explain with scientific fact why the hatton that fought FLoyd was better than the hatton that fought Pac, so why should i? All floyd fans say is Hatton was unbeaten all the time. Thats not going to get very far in a serious debate.

Hatton said he was better after he fought Paul so why shouldnt i listen to Hatton? Did you see the training methods Hatton used before the floyd fight with that massive body punch bag?

It's like golf... you don't have to swing your hardest if you can hit right on the mark.

They would know if they're conscious, they wouldn't if they get KTFO'ED!
