Who would have won if the Ricky Hatton who destroyed and walked through huge shot after huge shot from Kostya Tsyzu fought the Manny Pacquiao of today?
Well if Hatton had that POS Ref in his pocket from the UD, Pac would be in for tough fiht, with out the ref Pac KOs him in 2 agaiin, with the ref Pac by late stoppage.
that night ricky seemed impervious to pain tszyu was p4p one of the hardest hitters in the world yet ricky just walked through everything he threw
same move every time! right hook roll under, right hook roll under... :hey ricky will still go down like a hot potato.
arent people forgetting pac was like jr. feather or featherweight in 2005, and ricky took tszyu's best shots that night....and his punch resistance was superb.......considering the circumstances.....I would pick hatton of '05 over the jr./featherweight manny.....
Tszyu hit RH with some insane shots, but he didn't find an angle that hurt Ricky on the way in, Floyd and Pacquiao did.
its the manny of today we're talking about people saying the likes of KO2 dont have a clue what they're talking about the Ricky of that fight seemed impossible to hurt or discourage Tszyu took a mauling. dont know who could take more punishment Tszyu back then or Manny of today, but Manny would be getting leathered senseless in this fight
Ricky was better then...fought a smart fight and wasnt damaged goods. Manny still to good for him though..to fluid and quick, he catches Ricky out more often then Kostya did.
Manny's skills have improved big time, but there is no way he would have beaten Ricky Hatton much less KO. Hatton was a beast and he was probably in his prime that night. Hatton would KO Pacquiao really quickly, probably in the 4th or 5th round. Pacquiao wouldn't have taken the same blows KT was taking that night.
