Afterward [05.13.09]: Hatton couldn't take Pacquiao's speed and frequent pin-point accuracy at all, despite trying to be the aggressor and moving his head more in the second round.

My feelings on their respective futures haven't changed, but it does have me wondering just how successful he would be against Floyd Mayweather, Jr....
