    The thing that was shocking for in the Hatton/Pac fight was that Pac used the 'same move everytime' and STILL knocked Hatton out cold... hee hee.

    I knew he was going to work Hatton, yes. The KO does not matter to me. It was very evident to me that Pacquiao was going to beat Hatton, and beat him easily.

    The round to me doesn't matter, the outcome of the fight was guaranteed. There is a reason Pacquiao was over a 2:1 favorite to win the fight. As I said before: 1st round, 2nd round, 10th round, last round, doesn't matter... everybody knew Hatton was going to get caught, it was just a matter of when.

    Like I said, I was not at all surprised at the outcome, and it did not shock me at all. If Juan Lazcano can rock Hatton with 1 shot, why wouldn't Pacquiao be able to?

    Lets see

    Hatton was undefeated at 140. He also was considered to be the lineal champion at that weight.

    Many was unsure about pac's move up to 140, even though he fought ODLH at 147. After all, that was a old, slow, dehydrated oscar he destroyed.

    PBF/Hatton went as expected, maybe not the knockout but floyd was favored heavily. Hatton has been exposed as an ineffective fighter AT 147 by collazo , a fighter far less in talent than pbf. Also hatton was coming off good wins against malignaggi and lazcano , AT HIS WEIGHT.

    Also, it took 10 rds for ... PBF to KO hatton, and he might have never KO'd him if not for the ringpost. Pac pasted hatton in 2, putting him to sleep in the process.

    Add the shock value of how EASILY pac made it look.............


    Pacquiao's win was more significant

    Do you know that Hatton had a fight between Lazcano and Pac, or are you just choosing to ignore it for your own agenda?

    In between those fights, Hatton turned in his best performance since Tszyu in '05 to win every single round against the consensus number 2 in his division, Paulie Malignaggi.

    After it, many people were saying Floyd Sr had turned Hatton into a smarter, better fighter.

    The way Pac crushed him was highly impressive to any neutral or non-moron.


    PS: If the way Lazcano hurt Hatton invalidated Pac's win over him, surely by the same logic the way Collazo hurt Hatton invalidates Floyd's win over him???

    It's a tricky one, Hatton was at his peak when he went into the Mayweather fight and not only did he get a boxing lesson but he was KO'd which I didn't think Mayweather could do, it was at welterweight which wasn't Hatton's best weight but he was still a World champion there.

    Pac beat him at his best weight with a quick KO but I don't think Hatton was held in such high regard as when he was beaten by Mayweather and people thought his career was coming to an end.

    Oh god, I am not ignoring Malignaggi, lol. The fight had no significance, and so I did not mention it. Paulie is no threat with his punching power. That fight is hardly a case to make that he was ready for Pacquiao.

    You thought Hatton looked impressive against Malignaggi? LOL Sorry bro, not going to sell that one to me. When you step down in class from Mayweather to fight Malignaggi, you are going to look more impressive.

    Who said anything about "invalidating the win?"

    Hatton was already defeated and clearly vulnerable when Pacquiao beat him.

    Hatton was undefeated and clearly vulnerable when Mayweather beat him.

    Mayweather's win was more significant.

    The Malignaggi fight showed Hatton was in very good form. He was not on a downward spiral, he was not on a losing streak, he was performing well and (according to many) improving.

    Hatton's punch resistance in the Lazcano fight was no worse than it was in his fight with Eamonn Magee or the Luis Collazo fight at welterweight. He never had a great chin.

    Pac the underdog?!:huh

    Betting wise here in the UK Pac was more of a favourite to beat Hatton than Mayweather was.

    Mayweather/Hatton was the most significant given that Hatton ignored the game plan for WaPakMan and just kept leaping in with his hands down. At least with Mayweather he came to fight.

    Pac is a better win. I'm not even sure why this is a discussion.

    Credit to PBF for beating him for the first time but 147 and 10 rounds vs 2 rounds at 140, Pac's win is more impressive.

    In historical importance Pac faced him at the weight that mattered for Hatton.

    It is like if Williams between PBF at 154 or 147, which would be more impressive?

    Hatton won every round against Malignaggi till the fight was stopped and he won on TKO - what more could he have done in that fight that would have been impressive??? :huh

    Hatton was hurt and almost stopped by Luis Collazo. Then he fought Mayweather.

    Hatton was hurt, but not as much, by Juan Lazcano. Then he fought Pacquiao.

    Hatton was not proven quality at welterweight. Hatton was proven quality at light-welterweight.

    Pacquiao's win was more significant.

    Because everyone saw Hatton getting tagged repeatedly by left hooks. Paulie just couldn't hurt him.

    Did everyone see Collazo almost knock Hatton out at welter before he fought Floyd?
