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

pacquiao was moving up in weight, hatton was coming off of one of his best wins. pacquiao delivers the most brutal knockout in recent memory. however hatton allegedly had training issues. he did have the same trainer for malignaggi though so idk if it can really be used as a major excuse.
floyd was already @ 147 for a while, hatton was moving up - but hatton was undefeated. fight is ugly and rough, floyd is winning but its not domination. floyd eventually catches hatton and kos him.
IMO i think pacquiao gets more credit. he destroyed hatton, beat him at his own weight, and was moving up in weight himself after fighting...once? @ 135? consider though that pacquiao is a ferocious fighter - floyd is not. knocking people out in brutal fashion early in a fight is not what floyd does. pacquiao should still get more credit for this one.

I didn't lie about anything, Hatton looked like dog-**** at 147 compared to his run at 140. Hatton didn't have the pop behind his punches at 147 compared to 140.

Why is it that people think pulling a fighter up doesnt affect him negatively, and then have that fighter face a bigger man at this best weight?

And there is no room for a fighter to be sluggish against a great boxer like Floyd

Freddie Roach: "Definitely. Manny will knock Ricky out, for sure. I'm very confident. I've studied Ricky Hatton's tapes. He has too many flaws for Manny Pacquiao. He's made for Manny Pacquiao."
