    Pacquiao KO 2 Hatton....He beat hatton at his natural weight....and was the champ at 140....

    marquez was out of his league at 147, still good win for floyd...

    Ummmmmmmmm KTFO vs a boring defensive/ tactical points decision??? Thats hard. The whole point of the fight is to KO the opponent and although Mayweather is capable of stopping his opponent he often settles for a points victory.

    I am the kind of fan that values the brutal KO victory more.

    Doesn't really matter, Hatton was a more difficult prospect on paper and was the better win and performance. That was reflected in the odds going into the fight, as well as common sense which tells you a welterweight fighting a guy coming from lightweight, versus a lightweight stepping up to fight a junior welter who had never lost at that weight.

    Analogy:

    Goliath slaps David around silly all day long. (David still fighting back in the end)

    David KTFO of Goliath to sleep.


    I leave it up to the intelligent to figure that one out.

    Both were dominant performances.

    Pac is more offensively minded, so no surprise a dominant performance for him is an early KO. Floyd is more defensively minded, so no surprise for him that a dominant performance for him is a near shutout.

    Marquez at his best is a much better fight p4p then Hatton...But at 140, I really dont think so.
    Pretty clear he was unable to carry up what made him so good at the lower weights, whereas Ricky was at his best weight.

    When its all averaged out Pac obliterating Hatton holds more weight for me. Though both camps (Money and Pac) seem to make a bigger deal about the win then is needed.

    That knockout was damned impressive, even without that beating Hatton would be more impressive

    impressive KO, i just couldn't believe it then. Hatton was scary with his strength and agression. THe Mayweather-Marquez was just like any other tune-up for a comeback fight, what happened was expected and predicted by most writers and historians. an old lightweight can't win against those odds. It was a beautiful tune-up for Floyd though, it showed that he's back better than ever.

    looking forward to his next fight. After Cotto-Pac, I hope Floyd and Pac can get it on.

    Will it change that FACT that IT WAS PAC you adjusted to the WEIGHT were Hatton is more comfortable... at the same time JMM moved 2 divsions higher...PBF not being contented... PBF weighed 2lbs MORE than was EARLIER mentioned... Dude, DID HE EVEN TRY TO LOSE THOSE TWO POUNDS?!

    -NO HE DID NOT

    WHO ADJUSTED TO THE WEIGHT LEVEL

    PBF stayed at 147lbs. HATTON moved UP!

    Hatton NEVER LOST at 140lbs which is the comfort LEVEL of HATTON. PAC beat him on his own turf which is at 140lbs

    So, which one do you think just WAITED. I was surprised that you even have to put a POLL on something OBVIOUS..

    NOW, if JMM was a natural 147lbs and with his reputation and PBF did that to him. He gets my compliment.

    You forgot that 3 matches ago, JMM was only fighting at 130lbs while PBF has been at 147 for a loooooong time:rofl:lol::rofl

    PAC not letting Hatton see round 3 is more impressive...

    ..JMM may have lost 11 or 12 rounds of the fight BUT I NOW HAVE MORE RESECT TO HIM THAT PBF..why?!

    He has a HEART of A WARRIOR! FIGHTING AGAINST ALL ODDS! Ability to face challenges move than you and I can imagine. The fighting might have come on the late part of his career but he still did something which VERY RARE BOXER CAN DO.

    MOVE UP 2 WEIGHT CATEGORIES TO FIGHT THE BIGGEST FIGHT OUT THERE! For PBF prior to his retirement NEVER fought the likes of COTTO,MARGARITO,MOSLEY or WILLIAMS. They were the four names lording that division.

    Yes. He came back! Did he fight somebodywho is in his OWN WEIGHT DIVISION?!
    He fought somebody who had to go up 2 wt divisions..

    Come to think of it! Will YOU GIVE CREDIT TO PAC if he fights somebody who is currently fighting at 130lbs?! and jumps 2 WT divisons to fight PAC.

    Who EVER he is PAC will be called CHERRY PICKER!!!! But when PBF fought somebody who is actually 2 weight divisions lower. With the HYPE of HBO 24/7 it was projected that is was an even fight?!:dead.

    If IT'S AN EVEN FIGHT, tell me who has a shot a PAC who currently weighs at 130lbs :rofl:lol::rofl.

    To add insult to injury PAC will show up at 142lbs instead of 140. 2 LBS heavier than what pac earlier indicated just like what PBF did:lol::rofl.

    Will you actually give PAC ****ing CREDIT!:hat:fire:silly

    PAC haters will quickly say..pac is cherry picker :rofl:lol::lol:
