Hence the reason I asked why.He's fought very few people of any note. I don't see why he would be considered an "unstoppable boxer" especially when he's already been stopped by Morales, Singsurat and Torrecampo.
Hatton, on the other hand, has only ever been stopped by Mayweather Jnr....A fighter considered by many to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world and one of the greatest ever.

no...not cool...because unlike de la hoya...mayweather has never fought like he had no heart and no desire to win....granted he's had a few decisions that went his way when it could be argued he shouldn't have won...but he still wonSolis?...hahaha..are you serious?...the guy's fought nothing but journeymen his entire career.
the 1st time he fought morales he lost...
i'm not saying he's a shit boxer but he's just stepped up 2 divisions...he should start by aiming a little lower...Tszyu, Cotto, Malinaggi
he certainly shouldn't go for Hatton at the top of his game or Mayweather...not yet anyway...
* eat your words, man... Manny Pacquiao won... 💃

Again...He's already been stopped...3 times as it happens.
I have to say though...that right in the 1st was lightning. The left in the 2nd was inevitable. You know it was a good punch when he had to go to hospital after it. Some are even saying he should give it up cause of it.
Can't believe I stayed up that late for a 2 rounder though.
Pacman has good power but he didn't throw ONE phucking body punch the whole time. he was head-hunting from the start to the finish, was arm punching, wasn't leaning in with his punches and his form looked bad. I'm not saying Pacman sucks or anything, don't get me wrong, just saying that he still needs to iron out these problems. Hatton was a 2nd rate fighter and so couldn't have given Pacman any trouble. but had Pacman been fighting someone of true calibre, he'd be getting in trouble (if not beaten) because of the bad form he showed in this fight...and lack of body blows.
*shakes his head* the worst era of boxing indeed....

Watching the fight again sober...Hatton was his own undoing. Why he never kept his left hand up after taking a few hits is a mystery. His reactions were dogedly slow and he paid for it. I'd also say that when you watch the 1st knockdown Pacquiao threw blind and connected because of Hatton's dropped left.
I'll admit this though...Manny is damn fast. And that left in the 2nd is one of the sweetest punches I've ever seen. Up there with Eubank landing his uppercut that destroyed Watson's career and life.

this reminds me of big george calling Lennox the greatest champ of all time. there will always be flunkies going around trying to make a current champ look like he's amongst the gods of boxing. it's all about the money. whose going to watch boxing if the promoters are saying "yeah well, this mayweather guy's got speed and throws a good punch once in a while but he's no Ali or Sugar Ray". I'd take comments like "mayweather is the greatest ever" with a ton of salt...especially if it's from today's boxing "critics". any moron who puts Lennox Lewis as 48 on the 80 greatest pound for pound boxers of all time should never be considered a critic.~Sado
Lennox was the last decent heavyweight but that's not exactly a compliment given that most of the people he fought were part of a weight division that was dieing a death. Most champs in their prime would've destroyed Lewis....Tyson in particular...Instead Lewis fought him when he was a spent force. At least Hatton can claim to have fought the best at their best and got a few results for it.
What really is annoying me with the British media at the moment is that they're not turning to Carl Froch as being the next big thing because he got a lucky and controversial last round stoppage against Jermaine Taylor last week which if it gone the distance then Froch would've lost badly on points. Some idiot commentators are lining him up for Kessler and Pavlik.

Hatton's never been a second fighter...Manny, as he said in his interview, just studied Hatton's weakness...which is a low left hand and never moves his head. He went for it and got it. Not to mention you could be the best fighter in the world but if you got hit by that last left you'd be out cold like an average journeyman.

I know fighters improve and change. Some get better as Manny has and some get worse. But noone is unstoppable...Tyson getting beat at his prime against Buster Douglas showed that.
It'll certainly be something if Mayweather gets past Marquez and sets up a fight against Manny. Mayweather's punches are the most accurate in the biz and he doesn't remain as stationary as Hatton did.

Mayweather/Marquez is going to be a classic fight.
I was rooting for Hatton but big props to Manny...
He's evolved into a cerebral monster, which is the worst in the ring...
As with Mayweather, I completely agree with what Oscar said, dominating 6 divisions (Manny being on the list) is way more impressive than stagnating in one division, albeit being the top dog there for 10 years...
right now, if Manny were to fight Floyd jr at his best which was when he retired, i'd put my money on Manny...
just compare their fights to Oscar and Ricky, Manny shut naysayers about beating an old Oscar when he utterly destroyed Ricky, who is in his prime in the secound round...
all this came while adjusting to different weight classes...
oh and his first fight going up in weight, he left a bloody pulp to an up and coming David Diaz...

Just watched the fight, WOW the pacman was Devastating.
His game plan, speed and finishing was impressive. Hatton just walked right into it.
