    Ah typical.

    Hatton was shot against Floyd but not against Pacquiao!

    Floyd is just simply not as aggressive as Pacman and doesnt plant his feet as much with his shots hence why Manny has more impressive KO's.

    The reason it took Mayweather longer to KO Hatton is because Mayweather does nothing for the first half of the fight because it takes him a long time to warm into a fight.
    Manny on the other hand is the complete opposite! He's at his peak in the fight in the first few rounds (the danger rounds) and obviously Hatton overlooked that, or just didn't care because he thought he was to big, strong and tough for him.

    It's easy, Pac has more power than Floyd, + Floyd is a very defensive fighter.

    Add in the fact that Pacquiao is a more exciting fighter that would beat everyone you beat both faster and likely by KO.

    its the oldest saying in boxing, styles makes fights. pac is an all out agressive fighter, floyd is a defensive wizard. two different fighters. so that agressive style enabled pac to dispose of hatton early, while floyd systematically broke him down. but there is great chance floyd's defensive style makes him look better vs. marquez then pac, who struggled with him twice

    Mayweather says the Marquez fight would be a bigger promotion and make more money than a fight against Mosley? He is the biggest fraud in boxing. Fighting Marquez at catchweight would have gave marquez a slight chance of winning but typical floyd get it his way (guaranteed win as usual). A fight with Pacman will never happen as freddie has said Pacman will never go to 147 plus the money issues.

    I wouldn't be suprised if Mayweather ends up fighting a bum like Berto. Any chance of a fight with Cotto taking place? No chance. I hope he proves me wrong but i doubt it very much!

    I seriously cannot believe there are ****tards here claiming that Hatton was "shot" when he fought Paquiao and therefore Mayweather's victory is more meaningful.

    Un****ingbelievable. Hatton had just picked up a belt in a TKO victory and had shut out Paulie Malignaggi.

    But he was shot of course. Therefore Pacquiaos KO of him doesnt really mean much.
