    Pacquiaos brutal KO punch. Was it really that powerful?

    It didn't really look like it was a crazy hard power punch to me. It was more of a 100% accurate chin blaster that Hatton didn't see coming (he LITERALLY didn't see it coming, he was too busy looking at and expecting his half assed jab to actually do anything) in my opinion and we all know how Hatton gets on with those types of punches "peeleft:

    Which brings me to my next point.

    People are using this fight as a comparison to Mayweather in order to compare their power and boxing ability, but that's impossible due to a few reasons.

    Mayweather was blasting hattons head back all night, however it was in moderation. Mayweather is a guy who would rather let the other dude do what he wants, make his offense look insignificant and then pot shot with the eye catching punches every now and then to just do enough to win over the judges. If mayweather unloaded the total of head snapping straights he did through the course of the fight in one round and finished it off with that hook, I'm not sure Hatton would have got up again.

    Basically the biggest gain with the least amount of effort,

    Manny was blasting hattons head back all night (if you can even say that lol), however, he was unloading EVERYTHING in one go. Pacquiao is a guy who would never let you hit him and not come back at you to either negate the effect of your last attack on the judges or just to **** you up in return. This is why Diaz said that trading with Pac doesn't work. You cant hit him and expect him to be on the run, he'll respond to the aggression you show him.

    The opposite of Floyd, in that he puts in a lot more effort to stay on top both in terms of demoralising his opponent and on the judges score cards.

    So there we have it, two people who KO'd hatton with the exact same counter punch (albeit in different stances), but just with different methods.

    If Mayweather was like Pacquiao and refused to let Hatton push him around (even though he loves pretending the other guy is pressuring him) and unloaded his accurate straights and hooks so early the way Manny did, you probably would have seen a very very similar result.

    Therefore I think this comparison is unsubstantiated.

    However, Floyd KO'd a tired Hatton, but Manny KO'd a fresh Hatton and he was (apparantly) so he gets the bigger props, but I honestly think Floyd could do it if he really tried.

    Basically what I'm trying to say is, BRING ON THE ****IN PAC-MAY WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

      It was a very powerful punch, he put his whole body behind it and Hatton ran right into it, which doubled the impact of the blow.

        Wouldn't that mean that you'd have to credit Hatton for at least half of the power of the shot lol?

        I dont really think it was so hard a shot. Same with Mayweathers hook. It never looked like a huge punch to me. Just a real good one that landed RIGHT on the money.

        Mayweather landed harder right hands in my opinion, but they didn't take Hatton off his feet because they were landing on his forehead, nose etc etc.

          But see, this is where your argument fails, because he never does such a thing and therefore your point is moot. He COULD'VE brutalized DLH for one-sided 9 rounds but in actuality he DIDN'T. He COULD'VE KTFO Hatton in 2 "if he really wanted to" but he DIDN'T.

          You're trying to hype Mayweather into some kind of KOing beast that he's really not. Just face it, Pac one-upped Mayweather's last two wins and now you're a little butthurt.

                It was a clean powerful shot at the bottom part of his jaw where there's many nerves... and when hit hard enough there you can knock someone clean out... hence what Pacquio showcased

                  That punch was devastating. I thought Hatton would die after Pac hit him.

                    The brutality of the knockout can be half credited to Hatton because he ran into it but that shot alone would have knocked him out had he not ran into it, he turned his whole body into it and it was right on the money, great shot.
