    Well this is an argument you can't really fight against.

    IF you kick everyone's ass you fight against, of course they can call it perfect matchmaking. Very silly of you. Hatton was hurt vs Malignaggi, Castillo and Maussa???

    only afew fighters (the greats ones, ie pac) get **** when they go out and dominate a fighter...would it be better if he would've knocked him out a little later? seriously...

    Yes he was a risk, if you're a fan of the sport you would know that anyone in the ring can prove to be risk. Think the ENDLESS upsets in the sport should prove that already even to the newbies like yourself.

    David Diaz was a history making fight, a new weight division and a championship title to grab. Diaz also proved he can last longer that Hatton did in that fight despite being hit countless times in every single round.

    Also, with Pacquiao's solid resume an easier fight here and there is only reasonable as a fighter is NOT supposed to go through the major training camps EVERY single time. Physically that just breaks down the fighter and even mentally, the brain will want to give 100% but when the body fails there's no controlling that.

    The likes of David Diaz and Larrios are the tune-up type of fighters for Pacquiao, think that should prove enough how good Pacquiao really is. Yes, the same Larrios to previously defeated Vasquez.

    The people who try to diminish what Pac has done are just idiots, simple as that. Even the biggest hater will have to fall on his knees when talking about Pacquiao, what he has done, what he's doing and what he plans to do in the sport.

    If someone can go THAT low and try to dimish that then those aren't even boxing fans.

    How long before the refrain "Hatton was shot" becomes a common theme for discrediting this win? I've seen this with Barrera and Morales.

    I'm sure that if Pac miraculously beats Paul Williams by first round Ko we'll hear things like he was too tall or his gangly frame and limited skills were too much of a handicap, wait until Pac fights guys like Chad Dawson so he can truly get a lesson in size:lol:

    I don't know what you are up to and what you are trying to prove bruh . . . but the fact remains that Hatton was undefeated at 140 prior to this fight . . . never been Kayoed except at 147 against Floyd.

    . . . that was Pacquiao's 3rd title in fourth fight and his fifth divisional title.

    . . . it has to be so much. :deal :D

    For the love of sanity can people please stop this. Pacquiao vs De La Hoya was considered so much of a mis-match that many people derided the fight as a joke while Hatton was 44-0 at LWW and the number 1 in the division. Now not only has Pacquiao beaten both these guys, he's destroyed them. I mean really, what more do you want from a fighter?
