Big mistake... Yes Hoya was a weight drained shell, a human punching bag... That image of Hoya blinded most people on what PAC has done impressively that night... PAC was super quick (as always)... PAC's quickness made Hoya looked like an amateur... PAC busted Hoya's face... PAC inflicted the worst beating ever on Hoya... I always cherished that photo of Hoya facing a blank space while PAC was firing bombs at his side... Totally amazing...
Hatton totally believing on the "Hoya was a weight drained shell" pronouncement made him with no respect for PAC's power... Hatton became over confident on himself thinking he's the bigger and stronger guy... I remember Hatton was asked by a reporter on how he plan to deal with PAC's power and he replied "f-u-c-k--o-f-f" ... Totally wrong mind set by Hatton... tsk tsk ...
People (like you) are reading too much in to that performance. That performance was ODLH in name only. If you're followed his career you would know that but I forgot you're a pacfan which means you only watch one guy.
Hatton messed up big time for sure and I seriously doubt he can play with the big boys anymore.
On that performance I'd pick JMM to ko him!
No matter what Hoya's previous record is, no matter what version of Hoya present that night, fact remains that he was annihilated by PAC that night... Later PAC is credited of sending Hoya to retirement...
It's Hatton who downplayed PAC's performance in that Hoya fight... He got over confident and look what happened...
I can remember David Diaz has an unsolicited advice to Hatton before the fight "Don't go toe-to-toe with Pacquiao"... I think Hatton never heard that one...
