just re-watched Hatton vs. Pacquiao

[ElTerribleMorales]

Two things. Manny took his opponent's punches well last May 2nd. And I wish I could say the same thing with Hatton.

Hatton was outclassed in every department - plain and simple. We're gonna see similar thing with Wlad-Haye.

Manny took them well in the fact that he recouperated, no denying he felt the left hook and was rocked by it, i'm not saying he was seriously hurt, cause he wasn't but he was rocked, it shouldn't be any surprise either, Larios rocked the shit out of Pacquiao and he's a Super Bantamweight at most, and anyone would have gone down at the last shot, i'm not favoring anyone in Wlad-Haye, IMO Klitschko's gonna win and easy, but i could give a fuck less who wins, same thing that was going on for the Hatton-Pacquiao fight

Yeah. Larios rocked Pac in 3rd round. But Pac knocked him down TWICE and won a wide decision. The Pac-Hatton fight proved a lot of things. The one thing that I should highlight in that event is... PAC CAN TAKE A PUNCH FROM A NATURALLY BIGGER GUY (152 lbs).

did i dispute the fact that Pac beat Larios? no, he could have KO'd him the same round, doesn't change the fact that his chin got checked and he get rocked by Larios

I can make the same case with Cotto then... when he fought Torres. Heck, even pillowhands Malinaggi rocked him in the 11th.

the difference with Cotto is he was killing himself to make weight at 140 against a natural 140 lb fighter, not like Manny who was still comfortably making 130 and getting rocked by a guy who had jumped up from 122 lbs, Torres is considered one of the hardest hitters in his weight class so no, not really the same thing
