    He seemed to forget that Collazo got robbed in that fight and gor hurt a lot of times and yet he was prime in wepterweight. Hatton got hurt against luzcano was "a shell" then stops paulie in the next. Its just laughable.

      Who said he was prime? Hatton was prime in the Tszyu fight. Getting hurt by a 147 is a lot different to getting hurt by a lightweight moving up. Hatton wasn't the same fighter when he fought Pacquiao, his punch resistance was gone.

        If hatton fights pacquiao 100 times ovee he would get koed inside 5 rounds 100 times over. If Floyd fight hatton 100 times over he would beat him inside the distwnce fifty times over. Hatton was never going to beat pacquiao at anypoint of his career. The styles just doesnt add. Floyd struggled in the first seven rounds before he adjusted(with the help of cortez) because he is susceptible to pressure. That is what it is.

          I disagree. Hatton that walked through Tszyu's best punches would walk through Pacquiao's and rough him up. Pacquiao didn't hit as hard a Tszyu. Hatton also had great footspeed which is what gave Mayweather problems, he'd close down Pacquiao and make it a tough fight.

            I am starting to get why the demographic hates GGG fans so much.

            Brook moved up 2 divisions to fight GGG. Widely regarded as a joke fight. GGG was expected to destroy him. We have weight classes for a reason

              I beg to differ about pacquiao not hitting as hard as tzyu. Pac had a 80 percent knock out ratio in the featherweight to Lightweight divisions. Being marquez barrera and the....solis guy being the only ones to go the distance.

              Pacquiao was always going to be catching hatton coming in and would eventually knck him out. Pacquiao isnt like tzu also,he hits in the pocket continously then gets away (if he is fighting on the backfoot) Thats why there is a saying that yoy dont fight pacquiao being the aggressor and ricky relies on the opponent to freeze up when he gets in so that he could rough him up. Pacquiao didnt and Mayweather didnt. Tzyu freezed up a lot of times on that fight despite hitting ricky so he got worked up.

                You say that like fighters don't ever step up a division for a challenge and come back down.

                  ...who's win over hatton is better, floyd's or pac's? There are similarities... hatton was undefeated and fighting at a higher weight when he faced floyd, like brook vs ggg. After being knocked out, he moved back down and faced pac...like brook vs spence.
                  ... this fight was much more competitive (up to some point)... The GGG fight lacked in "suspense"...

                    Pacquiao can't fight for shit on the inside, Hatton would rough him up. Gets away? Have you seen Hatton fight or just when he fought Pacquiao. Hatton clamped his arms around his oppoents and roughed them up.

                      And what did pacquiao do to defend from hattons rough tactic? Always catch him on the inside so that he could be smothered instead of fighting inside and be broken up. Pac was right infront of hatton the whole time but pacquiao wasnt planning to be running away.
