Which was the worst when both fighters got knocked out cold? Hatton came back but was never the same again but Pacquiao comes back to destroy a younger, bigger, stronger in his prime Rios & defeats a young, top p4p, slick & undefeated champion in Timothy Bradley. Just shows that Pacquiao is a rare fighter these days, getting knocked out cold and to bounce back. I thought fighters cannot comeback after being Knocked out cold?
Anyone can get knocked out, and anyone could come back if they have the will, dedication, and can overcome any psychological effects, etc. Being knocked out doesn't turn a good fighter into a bad one. Hatton didn't really look after himself outside of the ring and this caught up with him in his 30s. He should have retired after the Pacquiao fight regardless of the result (and should never have come back later).
Hattons knockout was one of the most amateurish I have seen , hands down , mouth open terrible jab and square on. Manny on the other hand was just going for the kill and got caught by a great counter.
Rios whos a hard puncher manage to clock Manny a few times , He seemed to absorb it well but he also seem extra cautious in that fight . That was very clear to see . Thats understandable when your last opponent forcefully made you take a nap . When it came to the Bradley rematch , Tims power was nothing to worry about . I want to see Manny in there with another puncher before i can really say Durable Manny is back . So then i clearly answer this question .
