Pacquiao fought Hatton at his weight, 140, where Hatton had never lost and was considered the linear champ. Hatton went up to 147 to fight Mayweather but Hatton was undefeated when May fought him. So who has more bragging rights, Mayweather because he was the first to beat HAtton or Pac because he beat Hatton at his natural weight?
Pac destroyed hatton but Mayweather faught the better version. Pac would have destroyed Hatton in the same way at any point of Hattons career however.
Mayweather for sure. Hatton had never been violently KO'ed before. Pac fought a guy who was severely damaged.
You'd always get a split opinion on this matters. But you can stay on the numbers alone and you'll get a pretty easy argument.
Pacquiao. Hatton's best weight was clearly 140. Collazo showed everyone that Hatton was not as good at 147.
When Floyd beat Hatton, he came back to beat Lazcano and became the first man to ever stop Mallignaggi. Someone who became a champion again very recently. When Pacquiao beat Hatton, the man retired and was scared shitless to fight again. Oh well, there goes the argument.
paq slaughtered hatton, and it took 1 round to show an example leading to round 2 KO. I was shocked at that result, thought hatton would give him a few issues and end maybe late (for paq) or points?
