Lets get something straight!

I was thinking Pac should just fight at 147 for the titles, but a fair catchweight for no titles would still be fine for me. Something like 144 is fair for both sides imo.

BTW, the Hatton fans are now saying their man wasn't the same after the Kostya fight, but they sure didn't say that when they were predicting a knockout victory against Floyd and Pac just a few months back. And other lame excuses like his lifestyle came into play.

I swear the Hatton fans are probably the 2nd most annoying fans after Pac fans.

What does that have to do with anything? No one has said anything close to that in this thread.

How could Hatton be shot after the best victory of his (at that point) relatively young career?

They didn't say it in this thread, but the Hatton fans at this forum said that their man wasn't the same anymore after that Kostya fight, saying things like his punch resistance is gone after that fight, and that's the reason why guys like Lazcano seemed to hurt him, blah, blah, blah, excuses. Pacman and Floyd beat him because of that, blah, blah, blah.

To be honest, Pacman should just wipe out the 140 division, fight Floyd for one last humongous payday and then call it a career.

I've seen almost no one saying things like this. Was Hatton the fighter he was when he fought Tszyu? No, probably not. I personally don't think he looked the same since the beating Collazo put on him, but I (and I would imagine a lot of other people) think that Pacquiao would have beaten Hatton at any point. He's simply the much better fighter.

However, there's no denying that fighters peak and then decline, and Hatton is clearly on the decline. That's no insult to Pac, it just appears to be a fact. In my mind, it doesn't matter though. Pacquiao is a far superior fighter to any version of Hatton and this version of Pac would've beaten him at any point in his career.
