I think if these 2 were to ever fight, pac man would pick hatton apart all night long especially with the lack of head movement hatton showed in the lazcano fight.
And hatton would be a bloody mess, look at what pac did to diaz face and we all know how easily hatton cuts up.
To be honest i think if it happenend its a lose lose fight for hatton...
if he wins so what he beat a small guy.
if he loses he will get slated for losing to a small guy.
however i think it would be a massive event and a big money spinner for both but i think its a WIN WIN for Pac ;)
the penny just dropped...
this would prob lead to a Manny Pac Vs Mayweather if he beat hatton.
never thought of that till i just typed that post above... bring it on it would be a great mesuring stick for that P4P mega fight 8)
Unless Hatton gets jobbed stateside against Paulie i think he will fight Pacquaio and crush him. Hatton is no David Diaz and will be far too strong and bull Manny around the ring.
Remember Diaz is the weakest title holder at 135lbs big difference between D Diaz and R Hatton.
I like Hatton but PACMAN is a level above him , and KO'S him inside 6
I think it would be highly competitive, but dont discount hatton on this one... Hatton would do what Diaz was not skilled enough to do and thats put his head on Pacs chest and work the body.. hatton has twice the handspeed of Diaz and is alot bigger... This would be a Meha fight and a great event with 2 humble warriors... Cant pick a winner here, I pick against Pac he fools me, afrais to pick pack and then have Ricky maul him to death... Pac may be Welterweight champion one day after all, because if he can keep his speed and power moving up in weight since he does weigh in at the Welterweight limit I'm curious to see how high Pac can climb... Those potential matchups are well worth the $50 dollars;D
i personally feel Hatton knocks him out, Body shot KO.
I don't see it as lose lose for Hatton at all Saddo. Only the hardcore boxing fans will care about weight differential, to everybody else Hatton will be facing the worlds number 1 p4p fighter and a champion in 5 weight divisions. hwQuote:

It's no more lose lose for Hatton the Mayweather was for De La Hoya.
If Hatton fought and beat Pacquiao then history would see that as by far his biggest win.
I really want to see this fight, and now I think it's the ONLY fight choice for both men if they want to have a real boxing mega event. The fight would be huge in the UK and the Phillipines and would even attract a big draw in America.
Great matchup imo.
It's been a while since I've seen Pac as an underdog.
I want him to shock the world again. :) Bring on Hatton!
(I'm a Hatton fan too, but I gotta root for my countryman).
I think it might take until Hatton before Manny eventually loses a fight again. Hatton to keep him under control.
Agreed 100%Quote:

That's exactly how I see it going. I was nervous about his speed and power carrying over to 135 but I think 140 would be too much for him.Quote:

i always thought pac-hatton would be competitive and not as ludicrous as most everyone thought. although i give the edge to hatton, after seeing pac's performance against diaz, if he carries his speed up to 140lbs i'd be leaning in his favor, especially knowing that pac thrives on being the underdog.Quote:

hatton late ko
manny goes up I think his speed will be no faster than hattons and with all those bodyshots diaz was landing I would have to think hatton would do the same and stop him late.
:)
Agreed with Doot, Diaz looked made to order for Pac who was very impressive to stay boxing but Hatton will get him involved in a fight and will be too big and brutal for Pac.
Pac should clean the lightweights as there are some good match ups Marquez v Casamajor, Campbell v Guzman and Amir Khan in the next couple of years. Remember he started out as a flyweight!
