floyd beat him first when he had all of his confidence. manny beat him second when he was still rebuilding his confidence. in the magical land of *******ia though every opponent of pacquiao is at his best. age, weight, and mental fortitude have no bearing at all against pac.
There's no arguement who beat the better ricky hatton is there?it was obviously Floyd

You're not garbage just because you lose to Floyd or Manny. Ricky Hatton was not garbage. Did we all of a sudden forget that Hatton won 4 titles in 2 weight classes, and had wins over Stewart, Maussa, Tszyu, Urango, Collazo, Malignaggi, and Lazcano. He wasn't garbage and when he beat Tszyu, Kostya was the #1 JWW in the world, and Tszyu is in the HOF by the way.
Ricky Hatton was not garbage, that's just asinine. Ricky Hatton was one of the best JWW in his era, was a really good win for Floyd. Ricky Hatton was also in the Top 10 P4P from 2005-2007.Comment

But to call him garbage is crap. He did beat Tszyu, a HOF fighter, who was the "best" at 140. Losing to the top 2 fighters of the decade who are both ATG's doesn't make you garbage. Is Floyd Patterson garbage because he lost to Liston and Ali, but he beat Johansson???? No. Floyd Patterson is an ATG Heavyweight from his era.Comment

It doesn't matter what Hatton did at 140 OR 147. Just because he was champ at 140 doesn't mean he was a better fighter by the time Pac got to him.. how do you not understand this...
Yeah he WAS a champion but that doesn't erase the fact that he was done.. Why do you think he retired after fighting Pac? He should have retired after Floyd KOed him just like Jones should have retired after Tarver Koed him.. he was done and was Ko'ed again because he was done. Pac KOed Hatton because he was done.
I know you don't want to accept that because you want to think that it was all Pac and Hatton's mental state had nothing to do with him being KOed in 2 rounds to end up retiring..
Many said that when Wladimir lost to Sanders and then to Brewster it was all over for Wladimir .... but look at what has transpired.
Hatton tried twice at 147 and didn't look good either time. These are facts. Hatton hadn't lost at 140 until Manny beat him. Again facts.
You can't back up your statement.... but everyone saw that Hatton struggled at 147 .... but you still insist that it was the better Hatton.Comment

lol! I was right .... for you, once you lose a fight then you are finished.

Again, NOBODY is saying Hatton was better at 147 just like NOBODY is saying Bradley is better at 147 (yet Pac is fighting him there). The bottom line once again simp, Hatton was done, Pac validated it when he KO'ed him in 2 rounds. Much like how Jones was done after Tarver Ko'ed him. You can't argue this fact because Hatton retired....
Maybe if he had kept fighting and beating world class figghers you would have a point. He didn't, he fought 2 bums and then Pac and got KO'ed and then retired like he should have done after Floyd beat him. NOTHING Hatton did after Floyd beat him, help his legacy/career. Why? Because he was done son..... done.....Last edited by WESS; 03-10-2012, 12:41 AM.Comment

.......and once again simp, that has absolute NOTHING to do with the fact that by the time Pac fought Hatton at 140, he was not the same fighter as he had been KO'ed, cried for weeks, fired his team, hired a crack head to "train" him, wanted to box like Floyd etc etc etc.. lol You keep rambling on about irrelevant weight. Weight has NOTHING to do with the mental state that Hatton was in...

What are you talking about ....
Hatton admitted AFTER the Floyd fight that he was KING at 140 not at 147 and Manny will lose badly .... Hatton's trainer said the same .... Hatton kept on saying it ... but you must have spoken to Hatton's doctors and gotten the word .... but if that is so, let's see some proof!!! Man, I have been asking for your proof like forever now!
By the way, I was just wondering what the word is on the streets about Floyd vs Cotto? After going to hell and back twice with Margarito and then Manny do you think Cotto is done? Just asking ...
By the way, Wladimir hired a new trainer too (like Hatton)... oh, he must have been finished, done, ...... lol .... incredible!Last edited by ADP02; 03-10-2012, 12:55 AM.Comment
