  • Ray

    I thought that Ricky Hatton deserved the win. He came out quickly and throw a combination of great jabs (two i think)

    Pacquioa was lucky. Hatton will come back stronger.

    Ray.

  • JJ

    Ray, you say Manny was lucky?? Boy you are a fool. Manny is a better fighter.

  • accept_it

    this poll is made so that all the hard losing brits congregate.. cmon’ sore losers why don’t you just give pacman the credit why make this poll and question did the right man win? cmon’ man.. accept it now that hatton is one overrated boxer.. if hatton win then he deserved it too so close this stupid poll of yours.. this just show how hard losers you are.. jeez…

  • bob

    Ricky Hatton was the pride of britain.

    Ricky Hatton and floyd mayweather snr totally underestimated manny pacquiao

    Ricky and floyd both thought this would be a easy fight become of weight class, hatten forgot all his skill has a boxer and patient and thought he could just steam roll in and knock him out that was the truth and freddy roach knew the foil and cladly obliged with a counter strategy to exploit it. a stroke of genius perhaps but predictable.

    Ricky hatton is a great fighter and could of well beaten manny pacquiao or a least made it a great fight but they rattled him cold has planned and camp hatton duly obliged

    This is Now a wake up call to ricky hatton get serious and comeback a better hall of fame fighter and maybe just maybe a rematch between hatton and pacquiao would have the reverse outcome

    underestimating and arrogant from your trainer, your fun attitude cost you this devastating knockout

    unless your willing to give 110% retire
    because in all honesty you\’ve never reached your potential

    and remember manny has been knock cold too and look what happened to him

    regards

    hey ray are you stupid? you said and i quote

    “”I thought that Ricky Hatton deserved the win. He came out quickly and throw a combination of great jabs (two i think)

    Pacquioa was lucky. Hatton will come back stronger.”"

    you said hatton came out quickly than pacman, at 4:15 on the video it says 35 out of 62 punches landed for pacquiao while hatton only hit 8 out of his 33 punches.. is this lucky to you?? do the math… stupido

    and by the way overrated hatton will never ever comeback, he is in his wonderland..

  • SoCal

    Ricky Hatton is a good boxer but you gotta be blind and really biased to not see that he lost to the best fighter. He is no match for Pacquiao. If you didn\’t have a chance to watch the fight on TV you can\’t judge the fight. The thrown and landed punches of Pacman was more than 50% than Hatton\’s. Look it up. You can\’t see that in youtube. And you still ask if the right guy won? Ridiculous. However, I hope Ricky didn\’t get any serious brain damage. Kinda felt bad for him and his fam.

  • Nancy

    Pacquiao is the BEST, Hatton didn\’t stand a chance as we all saw!! Hatton got knocked the F*CK OUT!!!! Filipino Representin!!!!!

    HBO and their copyright B.S. is F*cked up. The video is no longer available. sheesh…

  • http://allboxing.ru Shket

    It’s obvious to me that the wrong man won the fight.
    The guy who was left on the ring apron, unconcious for 2 minutes, clearly deserved to win.

  • pili

    Manny is a great fighter! fast and strong.
    Congrats..!

  • Fatton

    Accept-it.

    You are stupid. The tongue in cheek comment made by Ray was nothing to do with maths.
    You obviously cant process sarcasm. Ricky slipped and was caught by a low blow. Pac man cheated. Ricky to fight Rocky Balboa next. A superfight of all superfights. My money is on the italian stallion.

  • slicflip

    hey ray…putang ina mo! Hatton is the really lucky mutha coz his neck didn’t break. also spell MANNY’S name right next time, you gotta respect PINOY POWER…TALAGA!!!

  • Queztcoatl

    I’m fairly certain Ray was being sarcastic.

  • Bill Graham

    no the right man did not win as Pacquiao got lucky.

    Pacquiao got lucky when he hit Hatton over and over and over and over and over again in the face with clean hard punches. He got lucky when he dropped Hatton twice in round 1 and also when he knocked Hatton into Wonderland in the 2nd round.

    bayless also stopped it too early. hatton was just playing possum and made it look like his body was frozen but he really was okay and pretending to be hurt.

  • Sunny

    It is obvious who the better fighter is, who has the better trainer, and who wanted it more. Pacman not only won he conquered! I believe he is the best in his class right now and he would stomp Mayweather too! Hopefully Mayweather will give him a fight.

  • mister tilapia and kamote

    hatton really did deserve to win the ” A for effort” award. and as they say! everybody’s a winner! right? ^__^

    man up and accept defeat. hatton really is a great fighter, but it just turned out that manny is a stronger fighter. the faces of the audience on that ringside that night was just PURE GOLD! XD

  • http://inentertainment Lily

    Pacquiao was the best fighter and well deserved to win. I hope he does even better in the future.
    Hard losing brit?

  • pinoy

    LMAO for those of you who said Pacman was lucky. Ref stopped the fight early? What are you talking about? The guy was completely out for nearly 2 min. Pacman is like a programmed killing machine. Roach knows how to win and Pacman does what’s told to do in the ring.

    Anyway, no need to argue. It was obvious that Hatton couldn’t take Pacmans power. Hatton was outskilled. He’s a good boxer but obviously Pacman is better. Pacman has better accuracy, speed and power. To me, that fight determined who’s better between the two. And the truth is, no matter what we say only Hatton knows where he stand against Pacquiao. I’d like to hear his comment about the fight though…

    But yeah, there’s always a rematch if you can’t accept defeat.

  • PinoyAko!

    “Ricky slipped and hit by low blow”. Yeah right, he just SLEEP after beaten hard right in his face and that is what the british called low blow? Pacman cheated? We’ll as the game said, PACMAN is the all time best game ever! HURRAY!!!! Told your best Ricky Beaten to be SUPER MARIO in order for him to beat PACMAN!!!!

  • David

    I wasn’t surprised to see Hatton lose, if anyone saw the fight between him and Malinagi you wouldn’t be surprised either.

  • http://www.holzbauer.org Dekkard

    I dont box myself (as most self acclaimed experts), so I cant tell if Hatton was overrated, but Pacman definetly was NOT lucky! He moved flawless, ducked Hattons shots and Hatton never seriously hit him, apart the hits on Pacmans head while clinching.
    If Pacman is overrated, why did Maywheather need 10 Rnds. to stop Hatton? Pacman vs. Maywheather is the next big Blockbuster, if Maywheather dares to fight him…

  • phine

    2 words HATTON SUCKS

  • lot-a-losers-out-there

    ohh, now this is good. losers complaining, lol.. .
    just accept it, hatton was no matched for pacman. even if he ask for a rematch, his just gonna mop the ring again.

  • johnnyrelie

    How many here think this question is rediculouse ? And why are there “no’s” on the poll? LOL, Manny knocked Ricky down 3 times won by a K.O. not TKO(Technical K.O.) and by the time I am reading this 77 people think Hatton should of won. You 77 are insane.

  • Oblakz

    Bill Graham was right. The ref stop it to early. 5 minute rest should be enough for hatton to comeback so PACMAN CAN KICK THE $HIT OUT OF HIM AGAIN. I need a refund from the hitman because he didn’t put up a fight, just a moving punching bag. I think he deserve another fight.tell freddie roach to tie the right hand of pacquiao behind his back to make things interesting and it may last at least another round.

  • Rain

    Manny deserve to win and he’s a great fighter.
    Hatton on the other hand is a goodman and a strong fighter. But may the best man win and that’s Manny!

  • curly dude

    you wanna know what mistake hatton did?

    MAYWEATHERS SR. PERIOD

  • rob

    Bill Graham:

    Dude, are you kidding me??? How can you say he got lucky when overall it was CLEAR to the judges & to everyone that HE DESERVED IT. I don’t understand you people. I know you’re sad that you lost, he is a great boxer no doubt, BUT it’s obviously clear that PACQUIAO won this fight & he DESERVED IT. Like said above, most of his punches landed on Hatton as opposed to him. JUST ACCEPT YOU WE WON DUDE.

    “They stopped it too early. Pacman cheated” How laaaaaaameee an you get?? SERIOUSLY how did I see this coming. EVEN MY BRIT FRIENDS whom I watched it with accecpted their defeat. It was a clean fight. Straight the fuck up so don’t even go around saying he cheated, SORE LOSERS! How can you explain all the other titles that he won? YEAH HE GOT LUKY MORE THAN ONCE…ALMOST ALL TH TIME THEN! JUST TAKE IT IN, HE’S AMAZING & HUMBLE SOOOOO YOU HATERS GOTTA GROW UP.

    You guys are not all that.
    In the end, there’s only one.
    PACQUIAO DESRVED IT!!!

  • accept_it

    all these guys who voted \”no\” are brits hahahahahahahahahahahhahah whadaya think?

    this is one stupid poll.. why would any fighter not deserve the win if he fought cleanly and gave a classic example of a perfect sweet science.. the one who started this poll might be in a mental hospital

  • Ghostrecon64

    If Hatton would have won he would have been standing up and Pacquiao would have been on the floor. But you saw who was the last man standing. All that talk Mayweather Sr. and Hatton said during the press conference took only two rounds in the ring. I was expecting Hatton to give a good fight but I was disappointed. Mayweather’s son would be the next one on the floor too and he would be eating his own words. Go figure it out.

  • matex

    Ricky lost , end of story .
    yes he is a great boxer . all great boxers lose at some point “well nearly all”

    Will he come back , who cares , he has nothing to prove . he lost to a better fighter on the night , but as we all know , 1 punch can change everything .

    Hard lucky ricky , your still manchesters champion .

  • Alisdair

    Na, Not brits! English maybe? Scotsmen supported Manny!lol

  • Jet

    Hatton didn’t stand a chance. Pacquiao owned him from the get go. Facts don’t lie, Pac landed 73 to Hatton’s 18 punches total and the ref could’ve counted to 500 and he’d still be lying there. For there to even be a discussion about who was the right person to is ridiculous, either a)you know nothing about boxing b) you are a Pacman hater.

  • Jet

    Or might at add c) you’re a brit

  • goodlord

    2 knockdowns and 1 KO under 10 mins is luck? yes ricky hatton is the rightful winner here beating pacman to wonderland. bloody hell that left hook snapped his neck and almost paralyzed the guy! Hatton even getting in mannys league is luck.

  • renz

    i think no need for rematch.
    because Hatton surely will lose again to Pacquiao.

    its a lost of time and money if there is a rematch, instead arranged a fight between Mayweather Jr. vs. Pacquiao which will be a great fight and consider as a true pound for pound champion.

    To tell you frankly, HATTON IS NO MATCH TO PACQUIAO.

    That’s all.

    Dude, that dude (Ray) was just being sarcastic. So was that other dude.

    Jeezus Christ. Ya’ll need to learn it…

  • edmon apuya

    Ray, do you have a good vision or just delusional. Did you watched the fight, your whitey boy almost die in the canvas, and you are saying that PACMAN is just lucky, common, are you blind or just crazy?

    Just accept the fact that London bridge fell not only once but 3x Last May 2. That there is no more future for RH, that he should retire now because that Left hook super power punch that stick to his face will have a long lasting effect. RH will develop PTSD and will carry this spell throughout his life.

    Manny was being used by the almighty God. He uses manny to remind us that there is none in this world greater than him. That all arrogants will be humilated in front of him and other people and all humble will receive his mercy and glory. So for all that are doubthfuls and disbeliever….. repent now before its too late.

    And for you ray, how about kiss my brown ass? Bitch!

  • Lovekickingbutt

    People! Ray and Bill Graham were being sarcastic. It’s kinda funny seeing other people can’t read into that.

    Manny is the best fighter, and you can only be the best if you practice, practice, practice. No such thing as a free lunch if you want to be successful.

    Manny had the humility, focus, discipline and determination, and the right attitude. He did not underestimate his opponent. That is the mark of a true professional and a winner! Prospective success stories in all fields of life, take note! The formula for success in anything has never changed, and never will, no matter who you are or where you came from!

  • JUJULANG

    this is the funniest thread ive ever read!!!Panalo..nahulog ako sa upuan ko kakatawa…by the way kahit win or lose IDOL ko ang PACMAN ko!!!

  • Joe

    This is probably the dumbest poll question I have ever seen. How anyone could watch that fight and ask the question “was Pacquiao the right winner” is hard to believe. Would anyone ever pay to see a rematch? Where will Hatton go if not into retirement? He can’t fight bigger guys like Cotto and Mosley, and can’t loose weight to fight in a lower division as it would mean cutting back on hitting the pubs between fights. Hatton should just retire. Getting KO’d into next week as he did can become a habit if Ricky doesn’t listen to his handlers. The only good advice Floyd Mayweather Sr gave Ricky is to retire. He should take it.

  • MIKE

    “no the right man did not win as Pacquiao got lucky.

    Pacquiao got lucky when he hit Hatton over and over and over and over and over again in the face with clean hard punches. He got lucky when he dropped Hatton twice in round 1 and also when he knocked Hatton into Wonderland in the 2nd round.

    bayless also stopped it too early. hatton was just playing possum and made it look like his body was frozen but he really was okay and pretending to be hurt.”

    C’mon guys…. he’s just winding you up… he’s just trying to tell you all the opposites that happened on the fight.

    Good one bIll Graham :)

  • a hard fall

    what the heck. the winner gets the title, the winner deserve`s and the winner is the best..!!!

  • bernard

    it was not a fair fight.it was Ricky against Manny & canvas.canvas was making Ricky slip and fall in the first.that last hit Ricky took from canvas in the second was just wrong.i don’t think Ricky was even awake when he took that hit.

  • KG

    Yeah manny was lucky hatton forgot Manny’s “Same move everytime, right hook, roll under” and thats what killed Hatton…LOL…

    If pacman was lucky the fight would have turned out like the JMM-Pacman fight, but then, it did not.

    And what the heck is this blog topic for, theres no right or wrong winner in boxing, at the end of the match everything about the outcome is right, only thing wrong is what the loser did during the fight

  • KG

    Ray if this was a race to “Who hits the canvass first” – then i’d really give all my support to hatton and i’d bet my house on it…

    What a way to sour grape…LOL…

    Remember one of pacquiao’s quote? He once said that he’ll train harder than his opponents…so if i am correct if your Hatton will come out stronger next time around i have to say pacman will come out stronger than your stronger ricky hatton.

    I am a Hatton fan because i am a mayweather hater, i wanted him to win against Floyd, but don’t worry, when time comes, Manny will avenge Hattons defeat over Money May and you and all the Hatton fans will come to love Manny.

    In the meantime you should review the fight and see where Manny got lucky…you can even review Pac-DLH and see if Manny just got lucky turning the Golden Boys face into a tomato, AND MAYBE YOU CAN STOP GAMBLING FOR A WHILE AND SEE THE WORLD AS IT IS…LOL…Funny crap!

  • http://www.hope.com bob hope

    Ricky hatton is a puncher he come up against a puncher who can box.Hatton is too slow and does not possess the boxing ability to even get within a bull’s roar of the Philipino superstar.Time to retire hatton your a good journeyman but that’s all.

  • Regie

    If the outcome turned differently and Hatton died in that ring after the beatings,I won’t be surprised if a lot of you will still say that Hatton deserves to win… “We cannot force a blind man to see”.

  • Dural

    unless knocking your opponent out is ruled a loss rather than a win in boxing, there’s no other way that the man that won is the less deserving one.
