    According to a few of these guys, it probably means Nate Miller is a far better fighter than Roberto Duran.

    Different fighter. Many different variables. Fact is Hatton is a better fighter than Diaz.

    it Were the Hatton fans the ones that were shitting all over Diaz calling him a bum it turns out he lasted more than Hatton.

    Sweet Humble pie.

    What did they say that was so bad? That Oscar was past it? That Diaz wasn't the best lightweight in the world?

    You make it sound like there has been a list of unreasonable attacks on Pacs career, rather than a few vaild doubts and questions on his opposition above 130 lbs.

    Diaz isn't a bum, he's not a great fighter by any means but not a bum. But again it comes down to style, Nate Miller lasted longer than Duran, does that make him a better fighter? No.

    Diaz lasted longer than Hatton so what, does that make him a better fighter? No. He's not achieved anything near the level Hatton achieved in the game, and H2H prime-v-prime Hatton beats him with ease.

    All it means is that perhaps he may have better specific intangibles, such as better punch resistance because Hatton's is gone. Probably even a better defence. But that doesn't make him a better fighter overall. I know it, you know it, so what was the point of this topic?

    Exactly.

    I remember the **** I used to kop for having mentioned that Diaz wasn't a great champion and was pushed hard by a shot Eric Morales. And for saying that I ranked Marquez's win over Casamayor at the time higher.

    Hatton is not in Pac and Mayweather's level, But JMM is not in the level of Pacman or Mayweather. Hatton would have looked good with JMM a few years back.

    JMM is not on theyre level?how so? he arguably beat Pac both times and skillwise you can say hes better than Pac.

    Hatton´s only chance against JMM was to try and catch him early with something big cause Marquez is a slow starter after that would be target practice for Marquez who his one of the most accurate punchers in boxing and we all know that Hattons defense is very poor.

    You know why? Because of his Chin. Now go ahead and tell me that a Chin is not the most important thing in Boxing. :lol:
