    I saw the fight as really, really close. But I picked Hatton.

    My pick was based upon logic rather than analysis. I saw Pacquiao's punch resistance as basically untested above 130 and consider that muscle can't be added to the rib cage itself whatever the surrounding tissue is doing - in short, a 130lb fighter bulked up can't hold a 140lb fighter's body punches.

    I still think that.

    What I did not account for was Pac's astonishing offence. I considered Oscar shot and Diaz slow. I didn't see that Pacquiao had not lost a step - a single step - whilst gaining weight.

    I think you have to go back to Tyson to find a physical specimin as special as this man. To say that he surprised me is an understatement. To say he wont surprise me again is a truth.

    FYI Pacmans not a yank. Dumb fooks. Anyone with boxing acumen woulda put their money on Pacman to take this.
