That was a bad KO loss but Duran is still regarded as having a very good chin, it might be to do with the fact that Hearns was noted as being a massive puncher whereas Pacquiao isnt really but Duran did have success after that KO and the only thing that would stop Hatton is if he just isnt as strong mentally as Duran to just get on with it, which I dont think he is.
Duran was a real tough nut. A proper fighter and not just a careerist, he would fight at the drop of a hat if he could. That Hearns loss was bad, but Duran always had a chin that could stand up to anything most fighters could dish out. I would be amazed if Hatton could show that kind of resolve and come back stronger. Duran was an exceptional fighter, Hatton is not quite on that kind of level.
