Comments Thread For: Hatton: Pacquiao Got Old Overnight, When Horn Beats You...

[JK1700]

You are all talk, plain and simple. Anyway, the offer still stands If you are ever In Las Vegas and want to participate In a friendly boxing match.

So, according to you and the weights you provided above,Hatton fought In the light middleweight and middleweight divisions.

This is a really silly debate. The point he's making is - Hatton was never the same after the Mayweather loss. This is evidenced by his subsequent depression and drug addiction and he himself has admitted that he was "never the same" after that fight. It doesn't matter that Pacquiao beat him in a division he had more success in. If a guy's undefeated, that's when he's at his best, obviously you're going to be better before you lose rather than after you lose (especially if you get knocked out in brutual fashion). Saying he was better after a beating like that is just ridiculous. I can't believe you seriously think that. You must be trolling.

He campaigned in the 140-147 divisions, he fought at 153 and 159 pounds. His best fighting weight was 149-153.

Floyd fought and beat the very best Hatton at Hattons best fighting weight that's a fact. and Hatton even says it himself.

You argue fan bs that has nothing to do with whats real in the fight game, only a fan would argue weighin weight over fight weight when really looking into a fight. It only applys when one is going down a division because now we into dehydration fallout, but when a guy moves up to fight a guy the same size in a higher division its all about fight night weight.

No doubt about it. First time he ever looked old, as in he should retire.

This is the major reason boxing remains a marginal sport with only a few stars. Pacquiao clearly won, but the media and "boxing community" think they are protecting the sport by justifying these bad decisions. This same bs happened with the Bradley fight, Whitaker v. Chavez, De La Hoya v. Mosley II. Everyone of those fights there people actually justifying the decision. Other than Lewis v. Holyfield I - I don't remember where there was a consensus of a robbery ever in boxing... Pretty shameful actually...

What's wrong with boxing is crying robbery every time we have a close fight (yes it was close).

Hatton performed best In the Super lightweight division, period. He also had problems with alcohol before fighting Mayweather, period. These are both facts, what are you arguing about? Obviously he wasn't the same fighter after being knocked out. Where does Pacquiao fit Into this other than the fact that he beat Hatton at Super Lightweight. Why are you even mentioning Pacquiao?

So then we can agree that Pacquaio was a faded version of himself when he fought Mayweather, right?

Yeah for sure, but they were both pretty faded at that point. Even though Floyd hadn't lost you could see he didn't look nearly as strong/fast as he was in 2009 and 2010. The same with Manny of course. They were both at the end of their careers.

fatton doesn't still recovered from pacman's brutal KO loss since 2009

Hatton didn't mean it as an insult. Fighters get old, especially when they've been as active and gone to war as many times as Pac did. He must have aged ten years after the JMM fights.

They said the same thing about Tszyu.
