Pacquiao-Hatton.

[VG_Addict]

Why was Pacquiao able to destroy Hatton like he did? Was it because of the problems Hatton had in training? Or was he just tailor-made for Pacquiao?

It was a quick ko so the training could not be used as an excuse for the loss.

Style of Hatton suited Manny who was on fire at the time and that probably was the main reason for the devastating defeat of Ricky.

I don't think it was the drain of making the weight, bad relationship with the trainer or loss to Floyd for the reason for the early ko.

Pac was reaching his peak then. Hatton had peaked.

Was stunned. Not so much that Hatton was defeated but never thought he’d be a 2 round job for anyone no matter how good they were.

If you can’t stay sober in camp you’re going to have a bad night.

Because pacquiao was a much better fighter. Everyone he fought and beat for several years afterwards would have also beaten Hatton. I doubt anyone is about to suggest that with a better training camp, Hatton could have taken that punch, so.... what, he would have totally reinvented himself and managed to avoid getting hit? He only fought the way he knew how, that’s why the 7 pounds made such a difference when he fought at welter, even though he probably put on 70 when he wasn’t training.

I agree PAC was the far better fighter and wins the fight every time but there is no denying Ricky ignored what he was instructed to do the entire camp. Leaping in with hooks got him hurt repeatedly before the big left hand finished it. If he jabs his way in as instructed it’s a different fight. Same outcome but different fight.

His head was on a platter, he was done as an elite fighter

Difference in skill set. VAST difference. All this nonsense about Ricky fighting for p4p both with Floyd and with Pac simply evaporated with the thorough beatdown he received in both instances.

Perfect storm. Hatton mentally was not the same after Floyd. Paulie was no prep for pacman. Manny was always going to catch anyone who just stood in front of him, throwing a jab like that was not Ricky's style but even the beast version of Hatton gets found out by mannys speed. Hatton looked like a ghost he, left way too much in the gym and then Mayweathers,'coaching' was about as helpful as a kick in the bollocks.

He was f****d on the way to the ring and you could see it.
