Because they were shot, you even said it, Pac and his team even said it. Why do Pac fans blind themselves from that fact? As for MAB and EM, well, yeah, I could give a thumb up for those fights specially MAB 1. That is probably a fight I admire the most because he was a fill-in and still took care of MAB in a convincing fashion.Shot or not (MAB 1, EM 3, Diaz, DLH). Just think the way how Pac beat the shit out of them
It's interesting how Pac fans consider Diaz and shot ODLH one of his greatest accomplishments over MAB and EM.
ermm yes there is....
ODLH was shot at the weight and as for david diaz...........C`MON even amir khan would beat him!!
Pacquiao lost twice to marquez in many peoples eyes, has been beaten by nobodys back in the phillipines and erik morales who many feel had long peaked when he beat pacquiao.
Only occasion hatton has fallen short was against the p4p king of his generation.
If you seriously wanna kid yourselves into believing the de la hoya performance justifys pacs ability to take hattons best at 140 pounds your living in a dream world. de la hoya was done when he fought manny and shot at the weight just like when sturm rolled him over at 160.
Come may 2nd it`ll be a prime beefed up 150 pound ricky hatton against a blown up featherweight that has never taken a punch of hattons power and precision
one dangerous horrible bloke
the malignaggi performance was second to none and probably his best distance fight since urango.
knock paulie all you like the guy can take a punch and despite not having any real power can out manouvere the best of them as we saw when he almost got the decision over cotto.
Hatton didnt lose a round all night and just bullied his man into submission ala what pacquiao did with a far inferior david diaz that you lot creamed yourselves over.
I love manny pacquiao and everything the guy represents is a credit to the sport and its diversity. Much like hatton he is one of those guys nobody wants to see get beat up.
I promise though come May 3rd we`ll all be on here chatting about how hatton was just a step to far for a world class 126/130 pounder that just pushed his luck a little too far trying to mix it at 140 with someone of hattons ability and power.

Many hates Hatton's "hug and punch" tactics, his rabbit punches, elbows and low blows... Many considered Hatton a dirty fighter...
Sorry but that's what I've seen and read about Hatton... Not really a much likeable guy... Maybe outside the ring but inside, Hatton pulls some dirty tricks...
.
who doesnt
Hatton fights the way he was brought up to box. Doesnt headbutt or use elbows as you claim and loves to give the fans an exciting contest hence the reason after 46 or so fights he hasnt had one boring performance.
If you wanna get technical i can quite easily refer to pacquiao TWICE getting favourable decisions over juan manuel marquez which had he not of got wouldnt be nowhere near a shot at hattons 140 pound title right now!

Yep, Hatton was brought up to "hug and punch", that's his style... Being labeled as a "hugger" is not really nice... It makes him on the same level of John "The Hugger" Ruiz...Huggers' fights were sometimes boring to watch... hug... punch... hug ... hug... hug... punch... hug... It's boring...
.
I can explain that in one word.
'Southpaw'
Manny is not a dirty fighter, there have been plenty of times when Roach has told Manny to be mean and nasty "like fight dirty" but Manny does not listen to that. Manny is a gentleman inside and outside of the ring. Manny is nothing like his dirty brother. lol![]()
