    Before the fight:

    "I want to rewrite the Floyd Mayweather Jnr business – maybe at Wembley.
    I know all of Floyd's qualities, his brilliant defence, the way he throws punches,

    ""I believe that with the help of Floyd Snr [Mayweather's abrasive and disaffected father]

    – and I know my strength. I look at Manny and I think, 'Why should I worry about his power, he's not big enough to hold me off?' –

    Maybe Hatton should use his fortune to consult a good shrink. Doesn't seem like a bad idea.

    He fought his usual fight and when he realised he can't take Pac's power he knew it's over.

    Hatton seems to have really bought into his popularity, and he somehow thinks he's a smarter fighter than he is. The fact is that he's a swarmer, and damn good at it, but he is still overmatched against Mayweather. Floyd would win just as well in a rematch, which would be pointless.

    The way in which he got knocked out by Pacquiao was even more foolish.

    He floated into that left hand like a stray moth into a wood chipper.

    Hatton was over confident, he's like Oscar, who thought it would be easy simply because they were bigger.

    Manny might be small but he's pretty strong for his size and Hatton was shocked by that when 20 seconds into the first bell.

    Like Tyson said, They all have plans untill they get hit.

    What i want to know is, did hatton have a plan at all? lol

    Hatton should be a distant memory from the main event. He needs to refund 40% of the PPV fans that paid $ to watch him get KO'd in TWO rounds.

    I wouldnt say that, he did get out of the first, and almost got out of the 2nd, I was begging the man to just buy time in that round and not mix it up with Manny.

    The single mistake that Hatton made was when Manny cracked him Ricky tried to pay him right back, he didnt take his time and set it up, he just went right after Manny when ever manny hurt him as if to assume he wanted to dominate every moment of the fight.

    But your not going to do that with the best fighter in the world P4P your going to take some shots be ****ing paitent and set it up correctly the pay back will always be there if you take your time and look at what the other man is doing.

    I hope he retires.

    Ricky needs to change his nickname to "The Get-Hit Man."

    Pac is still not getting the respect he deserves inside the ring. After he demolished Lebwada other fighters thought . . . the guy is just lucky and HYPED.

    MAB, Morales, Larrios, JMM and now Hatton all went down to the deck . . . not to mention DLH who quit to avoid the humilation . . . and also not to mention other smaller names.

    They all have battle plans . . . they all knew the power of Pac's left hand and yet it was the left which finish them off.

    Now they all have to worry about the right hand too. :deal

    :D
