Hatton believed the hype, and got summarily destroyed in both fights.

Pacquiao's punch, in particular, seemed to say... "I got your p4p # 1 right here." (Accompanied, of course, by the required crotch-grabbing).

The problem was when he fought Manny his punch resitence was out the window. Thats the problem when you have a career of defending knock out punches with your face. By the end of your career you have no punch resistance.
What I will say in his favour though is that he is the last person I have seen come out and actually try and fight Mayweather and Pac. I dont think he had it in him to go onto a fight just to last to the end and say I went 12 rounds with someone. He would rather go down fighting.
That is what made him an exciting fighter and a real warrior. The one thing that escapes are top two P4P fighters.
