Did you really think Ricky Hatton was going to win?




Ricky "Hitman" Hatton getting treated like a crash test dummy by Manny Pacquiao in route to an easy predictable victory.



The economic crunch just got worst for anyone unfortunate to have bet the barn on Ricky Hatton upsetting Manny Pacquiao. Like the Hatton vs. Mayweather Jr. scenario, once again Hatton was chin-checked and wobbled by the pinpoint accurate punches of a skilled boxing technician (aka Pacman). Manny wasted no time slicing, dicing and dispensing Hatton in just 2 rounds. Everyone knows a bar room brawler will hardly ever beat a boxer. With this said, Hatton is lucky to have gotten as far as he has in professional boxing. I credit his over-achievement to his good conditioning, courage and tenacity. But his predictable movement, rigid boxing style and apparent inability to learn from his mistakes are liabilities. Unless Ricky learns why boxing is called the 'sweet science' he will always be Briton's scrappy under-dog that tried hard, but could never win the big one.




Pacman's right hook sending Hatton's consciousness on a vacation.

I guess other fighters take Ricky at his word, when they read "Hitman" on his waste band.
