Hatton Vs Pacman

[Tysonbruno]

So their is a lot of talk about this fight already i think it will be a good fight but i think Hatton will win what Pac did to Oscar was great but Oscar didnt pressure him like hatton will. Oscar did not really throw many punches i don't want to take anything away from Pacs win over Oscar but the weight has to play a big part. So what do you guys think?

[Dark Lord Al]

I like Ricky Hatton a lot , and i think he has a chance , but personally i think PACMAN will stop him inside 6 , PACMANS punches are like laser beams , and i also think he carried a lot of power up from LW.

PAC KO INSIDE 6 , but i wouldn't put it past PACMAN to blow Hatton away with his speed and aggression

but i for one want this fight to happen.

[BIG H]

Yeh I agree with Al, I think Pac would stop him. I wouldn't have said it 3 years ago, but Pac has managed to come through the weights and keep his speed and power better than I thought possible

I'd fancy Ricky in this one. Yes Pac looked great but Oscar helped by standing still waiting to be hit. Hatton would get close and use his strength to great effect and wear Manny down.

I'd be much more impressed if Manny could do to Hatton what he did to that DLH.

Yes thats a possibility , i really dont have a favorite out of these 2 guys , but i just think PAC is to fast for the pretty square on Hatton , but hey lets just make the fight.
Hatton will be the only British fighter to fight two differant P4P bests in a career , well i cant think of another

[Fenster]

I'd make Pac the favourite (the bookies already have) but give Hatton an excellent chance.

I think it would be a great fight. Nothing like Pac massacring Oscar.

The location would have a big bearing on the outcome. In Britain, with the crowd support, it MUST inspire Hatton.. who is currently the most underrated high profile fighter going.

I agree with that.

[Otley]

this will be the fight that matters bar known for 2009......I side with Hatton cause he has underestimated power and he is no De La Hoya.......but to be honest I don't care who wins cause it will go down has a classic and the loser will not lose anything cause they will both go down fighting


Job Biscuit (go Hatton...hope its in Wembley)!!


eh eh!!!!

[JazMerkin]

I think if Hatton could get it on the inside, his short arms would outwork Pac's freakishly long ones. To me it all depends on whether Hatton can take the punches he will have to walk through to get there

[Tysonbruno]

His win over Oscar was good but lets not forget it was only 2 fights ago he weren't getting his own way with JMM.

When Pac beat Diaz, I was still iffy about a possible Pacquiao/Hatton fight. After seeing Manny fight Oscar, I know his speed and power came with him to that weight.

If the speed and power are there, Hatton would be in for a long night. I think it's a mouth watering fight. Imagine Pacquiao fighting a swarmer/brawler? Manny likes to get hit beacause it triggers him to throw back. Now I'm just worried about how Manny can deal with someone backing him up with aggression.

This fight would be huge! Pacquiao and Hatton has two of the biggest followings in boxing. This forum would be at war IMO. The arena come fight night would be electric! Imagine the Hatton song with "Manny" being chanted in the background?

Any chance this fight gets put in Madison Square Garden or Atlantic City? I know it's a longshot but I would love to be a car ride away for this one...

Nah, I'm pretty sure if this one comes off, it will either be in Vegas or Wembley, can't see them putting it in either of those 2 you mentioned because it just doesn't make the same sense in financial terms

My man Drago! I think JMM and Pac are just made to fight each other. It's his style that gives Pacquiao problems. Any weight, those guys put on a classic!

[yvonne]

I've been wanting this fight to happen for ages and was really glad when he beat Hoya knowning that Hatton would fight the winner of the Hoya vs Pacman.I would like to see Hatton win,but i could see Pacman unloading hard shots throw Hattons defence!I could also see Hatton if not both of them getting bad cuts around the eyes.Apparantley i've read that Hatton will fight Pacman in at the Millium Stadium in the summer of next year!!Im there LIVE to watch this one.It'll be a propper slug fest

[sonny78]

I think this is a very close fight I haven't made up my mind yet

Hatton closes distance very well and if he can take the shots going in I see his body work being too much for pac. See Pac-JMM, JMM hurt Pac to the Body but couldn't close him down to capitalise

But this is all depending on weather Hatton can take Pacs punches and speed on the way in

One things for sure this will be a great fight, I would love to see this at Wembley but its a big gamble to try and fill it, I fancy Las Vegas June 09

I am already packed
