    You said punch resistance goes over time-there is no way of measuring punch resistance exactly,there is only our observations.It is too easy to say his punch resistance has gone on the back of a KO loss rather than look at it for what it really is-any version of Hatton would struggle with punches that quick and that accurate and IMO,the result would have been ultimately the same back in 05,06

    fair enough,u can't measure punch resistance,i suppose u don't want a scientist hitting each boxer to check his resistance:good

    but kostya hit him quick,fast and hard,maybe not faster than manny,but certainly harder,being a proven puncher at said weight,and he dident move(hardly)
    ok it can't be proven scientifically i suppose,but it happens a lot,boxers losing punch resistance,really it dus:good

    If you think age has anything to do with a fighter being shot then thats a fail :p

    not to mention I said Barrera was his best win (1st fight)

    Morales packed the sport in a 29 and theres no way anyone can argue that he wasnt shot to **** in the end

    I think Pac Man will let Cotto be the agrresor and let him become a victim of his own aggresion in the same way that he unpicked Hatton.....although I don't think that Cotto will throw the same taxi rankers as Hatton did....:yep

    Cotto is a very good fighter but he isnt a great fighter. Everyone knows what happens when a great fighter meets a very good one.

    Thats it Hatton beat the **** out of Paulie.

    And Pacman well you seen that **** we all seen that ****.

    2 round beat down. Movement flush heavy shots, hooks , jabs , everything was working.

    Hatton was in good form.

    Pacman is just that good and since i feel probably the last Marquez fight he improved again. He was good as good as JMM because both those fight IMO could have gone either way. Against a Prime fighter like JMM.

    Then the 3 beat downs he put on Diaz, Dela Hoya and Hatton were just insane.
    It reminded me of a Prime Tyson but like a Mini Me version. I mean to prove all the doubters would a 6 round stoppage against Cotto be enough or would they say oh Cotto hasnt been the same since the Margo fight.

    But **** me its Cotto a natural 147 guy that can punch and has beaten some great fighters.

    Or if he beat the **** out of PBF would they say oh but PBF has been retired for 2 years and was well past it.

    I think the only thing which i feel would shut them the **** up is if Pacman beat a Prime Paul Williams. Every other fighter they would find some BS excuse.

    There are a lot of excuses.

    But I think people have got to realise there can't be an excuse for Morales, Barrera, Marquez AND Hatton. That **** is just ridiculous failure to give credit.

    Pacquiao by knockout i give it 5 or 6 rounds. I dont rate Cotto's guard. I rate his chin, but Hatton had an OK chin before Pacquiao. Pacquiao will be to quick.
