Pacquiao KO of Hatton,most devestating since Hearns-Duran

[TitoFan]

Yeah it was incredible, it was Tyson Spinks all over again except this time the little guy was laying down the ass kicking.

It will go down in history as one of greatest wins ever alongside Hagler Hearns and Luis Schmeling.

I can't remember an undisputed champ and p4p star (see comment below) being destroyed so emphatically by a man basically coming up two division from a year before.

In all honesty, the way Hatton has now been destroyed by the two top dogs he's faced, can only bring to my mind that maybe he was ranked a bit too high on the p4p list to begin with. Top 10? I don't think he ever belonged there. Top 20? That would've been fine.

I think the fact he absolutely ruled 140, and did travel okay at 147. He wasn't nearly the force he was once he moved up though. And Floyd was just the freak of our era. He was a big fast guy at 147, and Hatton just wasn't strong enough there.. I think it was fair for him to be top 10 as far as his winning ability, but he was always there to be beaten by fast guys who could time him right.. But that is only a select few, hence he was up there in the p4p's, but never top 3 or 4.

I was thinking the same thing myself straight after the fight finished. another it reminded me of though I don't like to think of it was Jones vs Glen Johnson. Jones and Hatton were both lying stiff very similar!

I don't know that I would agree that he did "okay" at 147. First time he ventures out of 140, he gets wobbled and barely escapes against the light-hitting Luis Collazo. Then gets KO'ed by Mayweather. Had he ever met an elite fighter at 147 (Cotto, Margarito, Clottey), he would have been annihilated. At 140, he beat Kostya Tszyu in a fight I've never liked due to Hatton's mauling style, and the fact he got away with things he would've never gotten away with anywhere else. His KO of Castillo was impressive, in that it was a one-punch body shot. But other than that, his resume has never said top 10 p4p to me.

Mayweather is better than Cotto, Marg and Clottey all put together. So how can you say "Had he ever met an elite fighter at 147"?

Are you on "crack"? Mayweather's elite... just not at 147. What part of that don't you understand? This is boxing. You can be great at one weight and not at another. Again... Hatton never met an elite 147-pound fighter.

He fought and outpointed the linear undisputed world welterweight champion in Carlos Baldimor and defeated the previous undisputed world welterweight champion in Zab Judah what more do you want

C'mon Bilbo... I'll give Floyd all the props you want. The guy's an ATG, and has done remarkable things in boxing. But that still doesn't take away the fact that he's in over his head against the elites at 147. The fact that he has carefully avoided the likes of Margarito, Mosley, and Cotto should give you SOME inkling about what I'm talking about.

[Quinito]

At thought at first, Ricky was paralized from neck down. But thank god nothing serious happened. Hatton was already out before he violently slammed the back of his head on the canvas. It was very similar to Roy Jones KO.

Mayweather is way better than any of them at 147. Hell he moved upto 154 and beat a good ODLH there. Yes the same Oscar that Tito stole a decision from and also Mosley second time round who has just destroyed Margarito who destroyed Cotto. Your the one who is on crack!

You're funny, kid. "Way better than any of them at 147" eh? You sound like a blind, PBF nut-hugger. Your logic makes no sense, but what else to expect? Get back to me when you get your head out of Floyd's ass, will you?

[Majesty]

Wasn't he the Undisputed Champ at 147?

Undisputed? As in having cleaned up all the other champions from the division? I don't think so.

[Salty]

That left that finished it reminded me of a golf club swing, had some great power and accuracy behind it.

[CutMeMick]

Looking at Saltys sig.
I was quickly reminded of Casa-Kats that was devastating.
