    The guy thought he could walk thru Pac's punches. He was dead wrong.

    Yeah Maybe 10 years ago Ricky would only have been out cold for 5 minutes!

    People have been saying his punch resistence has gone down for ages, it's not an excuse but an observation. I don't see Lazcano wobbling the Hatton of a few years ago. But yes Pac would've beaten any version of him, i don't see many people making excuses.

    no amount of punch resistance can save you from a hellacious shot like that. that shot probably could've even KO'd a JMW.

    punch resistance? Talk about PC crap.

    The man's got no chin anymore. I'm a huge Hatton fan but anyone can see it he can't deal with getting hit.

    Not "gone" but probably has diminished somewhat.

    It means his chin wasn't what it used to be pre-Mayweather. His fight with Juan L. showed this off as well.

    Its because Hatton has took big punches from guys a lot naturally stronger and harder hitters than Pac, and hes NEVER hit the dirt like that, it was sensational.
