Prime hatton vs Pacqiou at 140

[Boxer4life]

How does it play out?

[FinitoElDinamita]

Prime Hatton, Peak Hatton, over the hill Hatton, or any other version of Hatton... Pacquiao puts him to deep sleep.

Pacman by inhumane KO

[JT Rock]

The only difference I saw between Hatton that fought Pac and Prime Hatton.. He wasnt jabbing his way in against Pac which made him easy pickins and also his punch resistance was shot.

Then again the bombs he got caught with could have sparked Hagler

none the less Prime Hatton may of lasted another few rounds before being waffled

[Pugilistic]

Prime Hatton or not, Pacquiao knocks him spark out.

Hatton always had trouble with southpaws.

He was rocked and dropped by Eamonn Magee and was also rocked badly by Luis Collazo.

Magee who was decent but nothing special and Collazo who didn't have alot of power. If they could hurt him then Pacquiao would of always been able to hurt Hatton.

Hatton could also hurt Pac Man, like JMM has done in the past and he gave Floyd hell for 6 rounds, I think it would be a good closed tough battle, prime for prime, in fact it would be a blood and guts war.

When I joined this sight in 2006 Ricky Hatton was indestructible in most peoples opinion.

I initially despised Hatton because a good legion of his fans were the same as Pactards. I really grew to like Ricky Hatton, I appreciated his cross over appeal and his down to earthness.

Its a shame he could never come back from the Mayweather loss. Ricky was on a mission not to be denied and absorbed a ton of punishment from Floyd. Flush right hands hooks, he got broken down badly. Ricky wasnt going to stop coming at Floyd until his chin couldnt take it anymore. He was a different fighter one of the few who fights to please the fans and that loss really embarrassed him

I will retract my previous post and say if Ricky was undefeated at 140 and fought Pac it would have been more competitive becuase his chin and confidence would be intact

[Fenster]

I would strongly bet something like this

[imp]

Hatton would have been very competitive and who knows who would win..floyd already beat an undeafeated prime hatton..hatton would have landed a body shot and pac is done..dont count hatton out he was done when pac ko him.
The advantage is with pacman but every fighter who fights floyd knows thats the peak of their career.

Luis Collazo had em out on his feet, pretty much took him to hell and back during Hatton's prime although we can argue that 147 wasn't his best weight. Many people, including me, thought collazo won that fight..

PAcman beats any version of Hatton.. On a sidenote, I think 147 not being hatton's best weight was just an excuse cuz it's easy to say something like that after you lose. Regardless, I dont see hatton giving pacman any kinds of problems at any given time.

His whole game is to throw one punch and fall into a clinch and pacman would always have had an easy time catching him..

i would like to point out that the hatton floyd fought was not a prime hatton, i say around the time he fought tzu he was good, after it seemed he let his ego get to him and may have partied a bit to much for the caliber fighter he is, i say the fight is a war, because were talking at 140, i say very very competitive match

The only reason Hatton wasn't prime against Mayweather was cuz none of his uncles (Dave Paris and Mickey Vann) were involved in the fight. Without them Ricky Hatton is Matthew Hatton

This is the time Hatton was at his peak, against Kostya, after this he went down hill in self indulgence, personal problems and in camp problems.
Still Hatton would of been competitive for at least another couple of rounds, but his style played into Pac's hands perfectly, and it would only be a matter of time before the result was what actually happened. He was far more focused and competitive against Floyd, against Pac he was a lost soul.

[Galaxy]

Maybe it goes a few extra rounds but it ends the same way for me

[ono]

This fight has already happened.

Have many great memories watching Hatton on the rise and when he was champion , lovely lovely guy and a very good fighter , but Pac man is on a different level , would be same result , a very bad KO win for Pac Man early.
