    Mayweather's check left hook, or Pacman's finishing straight left under Hatton's arm pit and straight into his jaw.

    Well you'd have to go with the one that rendered him unconscious for a few solid minutes. :good

    Pacquiao's of course and it's not even close, I seriously thought Hatton DIED there for a few seconds.

    agreed but PBF's set up was just as skilled.

    I'd give a slight edge to the Pacquiao knockout. That was just sick.

    PBF's might even be more skillful. But the destruction and impressiveness of Pacquiao's knockout was amazing. Both will probably be on knockout reels and highlight videos for years to come.

    No doubt, both were about as pretty as the sport gets.

    correct for the sheer violence Pacquiao's punch was unforgettable, but I am more interested in what people think skill wise

    The speed of the PAC left hook was just insane. You have to watch it in slow-mo to even see it..and even then it still looks fast. No wonder Hatton didn't see it. It's a little frightening..:huh

    You cant spin either one as more skilled than another, both were skilled, Floyds was beautiful to watch because you can see it coming. Pac was a total demolition from the opening bell and the right hooks he threw were a thing of beauty.

    I would have to say Pac because the Hatton that Floyd koed was a result of 9 long hard rounds. Pac broke Hatton down in less than 6 minutes and culminated with "the shot" a straight left, his best weapon perfectly timed.

    Yeah. And Hatton kept walking into that punch. Floyd had already 'check hooked' him a number of times in that same corner, without the connect. Hatton kept lumbering in like a boxing zombie, it was inevietable.

    The PAC shot was an explosing 1 punch KO. Not so much 'skill' as just pure speed and power..

    The Pac KO.

    The Mayweather KO you could see coming from an earlier round where he hurt Hatton.

    When you have a cousin that is a casual fan and doenst know anything about boxing ask "is this the first time someone dies in a fight?" then you got to admit the Pac KO was devastating.

    But that check hook Floyd hit him with was an amazing perfect punch.
