What everybody is forgetting though is that when the whole 'Hatton would destroy Pacquaio' threads came up months back Manny hadn't even fought at LW. Common sense says he wouldn't be able to compete at 140.

Hindsight is a good thing though now ay? cus clearly he can compete!
Exactly, points well made.

Pac didnt just beat Oscar he had him unable to come out for anymore punishment. He has definitely brought his pop up with him. He looked fine with the weight.

It has to be said that offensively Oscar was crap though. Apart from a couple of body shots Pac wasnt really tested. I have no doubts that Ricky will land a lot more than that.



I hope it comes off because its an intriguing mix of styles.
Wasn't the same Oscar people thought they were going to see either,watch the fight again and keep your eyes just on Oscars knees even early on,theres a wobble early and a deep fear or uncertainty in where they are going to take him, he had already shackled himself down mentally and physically so no power would come through.

Hatton will do better than Oscar but Hatton is no longer the same dude that fought Kostya either, I dont think he would win, and Im not sure about Mayweather against Manny either, but hey I was wrong about tonight too.

But Im glad for boxing and for the people of the Phillipines they deserve a break.
