If hatton could take the right hands flush from Tszyu then he could take the power punches of Pac Man too.

I agree with that if it was a war he would win on the night.

I also agree with he had Tszus number that night.

But i got a theory and Im sticking to it. Kostya was feeling great and he was talking up this fight saying he'd fight the fight Hatton wanted and test him out etc. We all saw a war style fight that night.
I recon when its a real war, you see shots coming even though you get caught with them but your not fukkin movin cause you both know its a war and a test of heart of determination.
Tszyu was made for Hatton by Tszyus own mindset months before the fight and the timing was perfect, he would have eventually won that kind of stalk and shoot fight against another doing the same that night even if Gus Mecurrio was reffing the fight in Melbourne.

Then theres all the mixes of other skills in fights in between pure boxing unorthodox moves to all out warfare, but when a fighter is thinking 'war I'll take it to this bastard" and a great boxer is skilled and cool enough to be more evasive then catches him blindsided as he is throwing it has a different effect on the brain.

Cause Manny slips out on more angles and runs around in a manic style he is hard to pin down by a stalker who likes hitting whats right in front of him.

I think Kostya fought the wrong fight but fought a very brave one and his ego got in the way of what he could of done instead and he was out gunned, I know he had better pure boxing skills in his earlier years, but maybe his legs were more suited to it back then .
Anyway he got beat at his own game and like he says, no excuses.

I honestly don't remember him taking many (if any) flush rights hands from Tszyu. Pacquiao's power punches were different because he walked on to so many of them.

Kostya started winning the fight in the early to mid rounds when he stared to find space. Tszyu then landed the right hands flush but Hatton started to close the gap again and wore down Kostya. I also agree Pac threw punches at angles so they would have a different effect on Hatton, but the shot that KOed Hatton should have been seen by Hatton.
