    DLH looked terrible, no two ways about it. It was humiliating. But I think it was more about Pacquiao. His movement and speed was fantastic and, what I actually liked the most, he usually threw multiple punches then got out of the pocket. He never lingered to give DLH the chance to bully and he was always mindful of his position in the ring. What a performance.

    I think you have to say that Pacquiao beat a formerly great fighter, but that's not to take away easily one of the best performances this decade.

    At the end of the day, DLH was throwing fine on the pads just before the fight, and looked intense on the way down.

    As soon as Pac hit him however, he wanted none of it.

    Great win for Pac, even though DLH was undeniably past his best, the simple fact is most thought beforehand that even this DLH could beat Pac, probably by k.o; Pac didn't let him win a round and did what most said was impossible, stop an iron-chinned fighter who had only been put away by B-Hop up at MW.

    Hatton will make it harder as 140 is his weight and unlike DLH he will keep throwing even if he doesn't like the power. As soon as I saw Manny push DLH away last night I could see how strong he was.

    Wouldn't be surprised if DLH overtrained, coming in so light. No excuses though, Manny badly beat him, and let's be honest if Steve Forbes had power he might've been able to do it himself.
