What went wrong in Hatton camp...

[BigLuke]

I think it is obvious Hatton lost a step (a few steps actually). Not to take anything away from Pac but Hatton hasnt been in his prime for a while now.....Hatton's style makes for a short career and that is evidenced here. Pac has also been in some wars but his body is able to physically take it better than Hatton's....

The Hatton that fought Kostya would have at least given Pac a run for his money.....I am not saying he would have beat Pac because I cant but he would have at least been competitive.

Pac is a rare fighter, we all need to appreciate him for what he is - A great fighter that is willing to fight the best and doesnt dodge anyone unlike many of the top fighters of the last 10 years....

If you think that the Hatton that fought Kostya would have given Manny a run you must mean that he would have gotten KO'd in 3 rounds instead of 2. It would be no different at any point in hattons career. Manny is just a far superior fighter and athelete than Hatton ever was.

I disagree. Hatton just fought the worst tactical fight of his career and paid the price. The best Hatton makes it a much tougher, closer fight than what it was.
