Ricky Hatton vs Manny Pacquiao
Manny Pacquiao inflicted one of the most brutal knockouts ever on Ricky Hatton when the two greats locked horns for their only bout in 2009.
The Filipino dominated Hatton, knocking him down twice in the first round as the Englishman failed to deal with Pacquiao’s ferocity in the fight.
A left hook in the second round knocked Hatton unconscious where he stood, and he was out cold before his head even hit the mat as the referee called for the bell.
Ricky Hatton vs Floyd Mayweather
Hatton was thoroughly beaten by Floyd Mayweather when he challenged the undefeated champion to a fight in 2007.
Both men were unbeaten at the time, with Hatton looking the most likely to end Mayweather’s streak and become world champion.
However, a clinical performance by “Money” saw Hatton knocked out in the tenth round in one of the final fights of his career.
