the guy was referencing all the ***** BS that pac only fight boxers coming off bad performances that he really thought that hatton stuggled against malignaggi.
You said Hattons performance against Malignaggi was poor an opinion I find absurd, no matter how you rate Hatton his performance (against Paulie) was NOT poor, far from it IMO.
When has Malignaggi been put out before round 11. He managed to survive the 12 rounds against Cotto who was by all means a monster hitter at 140. Khan only managed an 11th round stoppage with Malignaggi being on the slide. Hatton beat the hell out of him and became the first person to stop him, despite Malignaggi's protests. Hatton barely dropped a round to Malignaggi which is a lot more than Miguel Cotto, Juan Diaz, Edner Cherry or Ndou can say. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJ12b7iNmw[/ame]
diaz and ndou please,... my point is hatton cant look average and get beat up then go into a fight against pacquiao the favirote for what? he was the smaller man, the on with no real skillset, the one on the decline, the guy who had drink problems, and you can honestly tell me it was a great win for pacquiao atsch
If Malignaggi was #2 it says more about the strength of the division rather than Hatton's hold over it.
Why discrrdit it, we all wanted to see him fight hatton after oscar expecting a good war yet now it means nothing to people.
ok look i agree it was not poor im trying to emphasise my point here, for mannys win over him to be considered so great, hatton should have finished the job on pauli quicker and looked GREAT but he did not he looked average and had some apauling fights in the lead up to the pauli fight
Ehh?!?.. so now Hatton was the smaller fighter than Pacquiao? :rofl Okay, dude. That brutal knockout was a fluke then. Suit yourself. (My atsch.. where did all these dumbwits come from?)
bull**** hatton was a worn out old man, whos place was on a stall at the bar rather than facing a top p4p fighter at that point, hatton was completely and utterly done
Juan Diaz was for a short time the premier lightweight in the world, giving Marquez hell over the course of the first seven or so rounds in their fight and Malignaggi by all means beat him resoundingly both times on my book. Hatton went in there and beat the guy to the point where I gave Malignaggi something like two rounds. He looked little short of his best against a man that had given fits to the list of experienced and/or talented fighters I listed earlier. He gave Hatton no such trouble. The fact that you can somehow diminish Pacquiao's win without truly comprehending just how good the Malignaggi win is on Hattons resume or by stating his drinking problems which had been present long before he was on the world scene, yet not slam his loss to Mayweather for other "present reasons" reeks of agenda my bumpy knuckled comrade.
Mayweather beating P4P#2 in Marquez and P4P#3 in Mosley. 2 of the top rated guys in the industry at the time and he walked it 23-1.
C'mon both guys were world class, not b-class, they might have been vulnerable. Cotto I think had his career shortened by that thug plaster-master Margocheato. Ricky was humiliated by PBF and tried to change his style with Senior but resorted back to old ricky who got KTFO my the mighty Pac.
