Hatton, No Question, Considering the MANNER of Victory and the Fact Hatton HADN’T Lost at ‘40 Until Then…. REED Favored ‘Pac That Night, But Not Like THAT! Anytime a CASUAL Asks What’s Soooo Special about Manny Pacquiao, REED Advises Them to Watch the Ricky Hatton Fight… REED
Barrera 1 While Cotto & Hatton weren’t ranked high on the p4p lists like Barrera was #3 by The Ring, those were great wins too. I would put those 2 and 3. He was sensational in those fights.
Almost everyone would agree that his first win over Barrera was his finest win. Barrera was just coming off a win over HOFers such as Naseem Hamed, Erik Morales, and Johnny Tapia before Pac beat him.
Pac was an overwhelming underdog. I don't remember how it was in the media, but I DO remember how it was on the forums. Maybe 1-2 people were picking him, that's it. 97% of people thought MAB was gonna kill him. Hard to believe now, but at the time, the thought was that Pac was a very poor man's Naz.
Yes. I do remember that. I remember Muzse doing like an 8 paragraph analysis on why Pac had no chance.
