Again another fight where I expected the winner to win.
It was a great finish and Pacman would have beat Ricky at any point in his career imo.. it's shame Ricky was a bit of a state beforehand so we could have maybe seen Ricky make a better fist of it...
Tarver ko jones jr
Martinez ko williams
Hearns ko duran
And they knocked out better fighters than hatton in 2 rounds
Sorry I didn't mean to say in history im rather talking about now, who would have koed Hatton in 2 rounds now? Floyd took how many rounds, and no version of Floyd would ko any version of Hatton in 2 rounds.
I gave it a 6, Hatton was always overrated and he was totally finished after mayweather, having been saved by the referee from being ktfo by a 36 year old feather fisted lightweight Juan Lazscano.
If the ref hadn't illegally interfered and rescued Hatton his career would have rightly ended there and we wouldn't have seen his farcical mismatch vs the P4P number 1
Regardless, Pac was punch perfect vs very poor opponent so you can't fault him.
I gave it a 4. Manny was a 2:1 favorite and Hatton looked awful leading up to the fight. Almost every expert and trainer and boxer was picking Manny for that reason...
Mannys win over Cotto was probably a 6/10. Mannys win over Margs probably a 5/10.
The problem with Mannys resume is he always fought guys when they were on the slide, had new trainers, at catchweights or with rehydration clauses. Oh and Manny also didnt like random drug testing for steroids. . . . .
