Just watched it and that was painful to watch. He was hammered.

I've just obtained a copy of the "whole" fight, not exactly high quality but perfectly watchable - its not very big (80mb) so I should have it uploaded to rapidshare in about 10 minutes

Watching it again I can't believe how pathetic Hatton's guard was from the very first second, no finesse, no movement, no brains at all. Really really poor, he was outclassed against Mayweather but that was something else.

Only the fight itself, no real post or pre-fight.

Pac is incredible..... i'm buzzin at the thought of Pac v Mayweather, i'd go with the Pac on last nights performance although Mayweather i know is also in a different league to Hatton, and far more intelligent a boxer, but the power from Pac was awesome.

The link at the top of this page is still working i have just watched the fight again from that link.

Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Put paid to all the 'pound for pound title' talk prior to the fight.

Didn't expect Pacman to win so quickly.

[Pablo]

That was one of the most brutal knockouts I've ever seen!

[rodo]

see ya later ricky!!!

Totally outclassed and outboxed. Pacquiao made Hatton look very ordinary. What incredibly fast hands the Pacman has! I hope Ricky Hatton's okay - that's what you call a knockout.

Can't believe how stupid Hatton was, has he learnt nothing, so very brave, always going forward looking for Pac, but in this instance it was a fatal floor in his tactics, he needed to avoid him in the early rounds as much as was possible, but he just never did and looked out classed from the first bell.

Hatton took the exact same stance that he did when he lost to Mayweather. Head before foot, no jab defence and Pacquiao absolutely exploited him twice in the first with the rolling over right jab and walked into the left jab in the second. You simply don't get up from those. Pacquiao is not only unbelievably quick with his jabs and movement but is fantastically accurate, something Hatton wasn't.

This is probably the end for Hatton but simply the best display from Pacquiao. I can't wait for a match between him and Mayweather.

i still have problems with Hattons training, i believe you cant indulge with pints of beer and fast food and then intensely train before a fight to eliminate those indulgences, i remember the legendary redmike on koptalk telling me this didn't matter nowadays with today's boxing training regime, but i beg to differ harking back to contehs fight against matt franklyn where he went on one before the fight and then his legs went in the fight, i hope Ricky proves me wrong.

Hatton just is not in the same league as the Mayweathers and Pacquiaos. He just does not have the self discipline to stay in the right shape all year round which is a shame, because if he did his body would obviously be far better prepared and he could concentrate his training on tactics rather than weight loss.

TBH PacMan did not have to do much in this fight and was just picking him off with teh right hook far too easily. A very straightforward fight for PacMan who must have been expecting a far better opponent in Hatton.

Not quite game over for Hatton, and I would not be surprised if he gets an offer from Fwank Warren to fight Amir Khan (provided Khan wins his World Title fight).

Floyd Snr has instilled a sense of discipline into Hatton's preparation, he doesn't balloon as much between fights anymore.

Simply put, Hatton has a very simple style which he has in his head from when Billy Graham was his trainer and hasn't been able to change since and against more tactical savvy boxers and trainers, he will get caught out.

He won't get an offer from Frank. Hatton is probably now looking to retire.
