    What about Collazo? He's the true conquerer of Hatton.

    I love how ****ers on ESB are mind readers that can tell a fighters thoughts from thousands of miles away. So despite the fact that Haton showed complete confidence leading into the Manny fight. So much so that he refused to even listen to his trainer when he tried to get him to employ a strategy that involved boxing and moving his head because he believed he could walk right through manny, you somehow know what he was really thinking and that was that Manny could beat him.

    You could make a case for either, really. But if Hatton has anything left in him and shows it at a world-class level, Manny will get more credit for that win and less argument that he was already ruined by Floyd.

    Not true at all....before facing Floyd he stated in many interviews that FLOYD IS THE BEST. And that he wanted to see if he could beat the best. He felt confident he could beat Floyd but knew that the chips were stacked against him especially given the fact that Ricky was the smaller man moving up to a weight against the then P4P King.

    His confidence was HIGHER with PAC b/c he felt that PAC was smaller and not as good as people were saying...especailly since DLH said Rick wounldn't have any problems with Manny.

    The better victory was PAC's destruction over Ricky at 140.

    Floyd saw a guy who was beaten by a subpar welter in Collazo at 147 and licked his lips.

    Manny beat the **** outta the guy.

    PBF beat the guy first and beating a guy first always gets you more credit unless your name is PBF.

    Similar amount of credit to be honest, Floyd beat Hatton first, though i don't believe Hatton of 07 and 09 were very different fighters. Whereas Manny - Hatton wasn't a competitive fight, and he won it via pure domination for every moment of the fight. The weight issue also is a minor detracting factor for the Mayweather - Hatton matchup.

    I lean towards Pacquiao.

    Collazo lost a close fight on the cards. He should stay on his feet if he wants to win decisions. It helps.

    Pac. He did it better, quicker and he was naturally smaller than Hatton whereas Floyd was bigger.

    Pac made it look too easy, like Hatton was an Amature. It was a big statement.

    Destruction - the act of damaging something beyond use or repair.

    "He's dead. He's dead. He's dead."

    Are you seriously going to try and say that Hatton was as good at 147 as he was at 140?

    If you are, I'm more than willing to get into it with you, but let me give you a sneak preview of the outcome:

    You definitely lose. :good
