Comments Thread For: Hatton: Mayweather-Pacquiao is More Competitive Now

[babynuts]

HAtton was steamed rolled by Manny! Coulnt get up!

Hatton got up against Floyd (twice) BAYLESS (floyds dude) Stopped the fight!

Yeah, and Manny was steam rolled by Marquez and Floyd make him look like an amateur.

You know styles make fights, Mayweather isn't a guy who goes and blasts people out, which is bad news for Manny because neither is Marquez and we all know what happens when he steps in with an intelligent patient fighter.

I don't really care who wins, but if Mayweather has really faded as much as people say from the Maidana fights, then it's a good close matchup. Rewind 5 years ago, i would have taken Floyd easily.


The standout point is that Mayweather is almost 40, one is Pacquiao not far behind, they're both not in their prime but they are still the best 2 fighters around their weight class right now, possibly by some distance. I'm not sure if that's because they are freaks, or because the level of competition is not that great when you realise this fact.

Man that's a fact. If we concede that both fighters have diminished slightly it begins to come down to who wants it the most.

Who's chasing who. There's your answer.

Thats not what he said , actually the opposite Floyd wins easier back then than he does now and he fought of them both !

You talk so much sht lol , youre already making excuses for Manny losing , Manny fans are the biggest group of cowardly fans on the internet , last week Floyds scared and will get killed now its on Manny is old , pathetic bunch of losers you are .

both were old last week and floyd is still scared this week. How's that?

I agree.

I feel Mayweather has slowed down more which makes it more competitive. I think Mayweather would have dominated this fight 3 years ago, but now I expect him to win a close UD.

Being totally honest and not my Floyd hater self:


Manny has the quicker feet and hands at this point.

Floyd doesn't have the stamina to match Manny's as well... Floyd can no longer maintain the type of movement that he is known for.

On the other hand, Manny is now more composed and boxes more... which will favor Floyd.

Cortez was the ref in Floyd-Hatton. You are so Full of ****!

Same here, but I also wonder how much Pacquiao has really slipped over the years?

Aside from Bradley, who fought a ****** fight, Manny's level of competition hasn't been stellar, so it's hard to gauge where he really is at this point in his career.

Cortez is Floyd's dude too though lol... And we all know TMT's own Kenny Mayless will be officiating Pac-Mayweather

[HeGotPacProblem]

Anyone know how refs are chosen for fights?

[JTfloyd]

And that is from KTFO6 till now, coz since then Manny has come back impressively, and Floyd has looked easier to hit and less mobile. In terms of who actually wins it is still in the air in my opinion, but I do agree with Ricky on the grounds that it is a lot less obvious these days, regardless of who you support.

Manny has come back impressively against WHO, exactly? Rios, a plodding, face-first swarmer, an injured Bradley, and Chris (no business on PPV) Algieri. Isn't the "fighter of the decade" supposed to look impressive against such competition? Taking into account that none of the 3 are anywhere close to Mayweather in terms of boxing skill, counter-punching or defense, why is how Manny looked against them relevant to a Mayweather fight?
