    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.

    :lol: yes.

    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.
