Better performance: Mayweather vs Hatton or Pacquaio vs Bradley?

No he wouldn't.

 

^^ yes he would, especially since he didn't get ktfo like the latter

 

Yeah, that's how we predict fights.




:blood

 

Even now I go Hatton over Bradley , styles make fights . Also lets be honest Bradley is a nice guy but didnt face and 09 Manny.

 

Hatton's head bounce of the ring post. Nuff Said lol

 

Right, silly me its a foregone conclusion that the "superior" fighter gets ktfo while the inferior makes it competitive.

 

You think they fought the same version of Pacquaio?

You think it was a peak Hatton who fought in 09?

Bradley gets a controversial split decision over a faded, religon obsessed Pacquaio and that makes him better than Hatton? atsch

Results against the same opponent mean nothing in Boxing, history is littered with examples of that. A beating B does not mean he beats C, to base an argument on that is just stupid.

 

I tend to disagree with this. Do you think Bradley would have gotten beat by Collazo?

Also, Pacquaio fought both. He brutally demolished Hatton in two rounds.

 

Agree ,

Ask him who beats who out of these three Mayorga , Forrest and Oscar. We already know two of the results but I would bet my house on Forrest beating Oscar at 147.

This is why Floyd never loses in a fantasy match up , simply because he has a zero.

 

The Collazo fight is up for debate.

Again my argument would be Hatton fighting a peak Pacquaio (Atleast if we split his career in to pre and post DLH) when he him self was not at his peak.

Bradley did not fight a peak Pacquaio. The bounce in his legs has gone and so has that killer instinct, as advertised by Manny stepping off the gas and failing to finish Bradley despite having him hurt multiple times. Do you see the Pacquaio from the Hatton and Cotto fights doing that?

Different animals.

 

Last I checked, half the forum says Pacquiao is actually "still in his prime" and really it was more a factor of what Pacquiao "can't do" rather than what he lost. Show him a little head movement, a little foot movement, and he's lost.

Hatton sure whooped the **** out of Malignaggi who's doing fine so I'd say thats a good indicator as any on Hatton's condition.

You're saying styles make fights which is really a viable argument, but people are hating in this thread so I'll just go with Bradley being multi-dimensional and superior.

 

Would Hatton get dropped twice hard by Kendall Holt? Or take 8 or 9 rounds to retire (not knock out , retire) Casamayor??

Stlyes makes fights , if they didnt we wouldnt bother watching.

 

The difference between Hatton and Bradley is Bradley moves his head. It's much easier to land combination punches on Hatton than it is on Bradley.

If Bradley and Hatton fought, that's a different story. It could go either way.

But overall, I think Bradley is a better all around fighter than Hatton at this point.

 

The Paulie win is suspect. Malignaggi had no power to discourage Hatton (vital against any mauler) and was going through his own mini crisis with Buddy McGirt. Paulie didn't look like Paulie at any point while with Buddy. Watch the Diaz fight to see the difference.

Lazcano wobbled Hatton and won his fair share of rounds, that is an indicator of where Hatton was at. Punch resistance gone. If your fighter has low punch resistance, who would you put him in with? Paulie.

I'm not hating on Bradley, he's building an impressive career for himself. Controversey rains over this win, and a re-match will prove intresting.

As for this forum thinking Pacquaio is in his prime, I'd disagree with that, strongly and I'm sure many others would too.
