Wait a minute...hmmm...Pacquiao vs Hatton @ 140...who ya got?

[shza]

Pac to small Hatton by UD. Hatton is relentless also, can't understand where fatton Hatton comes from but I think that guy can do 15 rounds easy.

Hmm.. hard to say that after seeing his last two outings.
You say you don't know where all this fatton talk comes from, I say I don't know where all this unbelievable stamina talk comes from.
Sure he looked good against nobodies early in his career, but it's hard to judge him based on those wins.
So when was Hatton's last good performance? Against KT two years ago?
Pac has all the advantage in stamina, imo.
Style match-up, I like Pac in the fight too.
The kind of guys who'll give Manny troubles are slicker guys who have better head and torso movement than Hatton.
Hatton needs a target who'll stand right in front of him.
Pac's awkward Tyson-style bobbing and weaving gives Hatton trouble all night.
I think Hatton gets worked by Pac.
Pac by KO.

I am not a Hatton fan, let's establish that before anything. But if you think Pac is not to small for Hatton then you must be a resident of one of those countries that legalized Marijuana. Also one of those two fights you talk about was at 147 and did not feel comfortable at his weight, maybe since then he has grown into it, you never know. It's funny that in your post you were able to point out so many great things about Pac and not one about Hatton who is an undefeated world champion. I smell Bias.

Didn't Pac weigh 147 in the ring in one of his last 2 fights? Plus he's got a height and reach advantage over Hatton. I understand Hatton has fought at a higher weight class, but that doesn't make him bigger. I think you'd be very surprised if they got in the ring together, and that Pac would actually be bigger.

they are both the same size! they are both around 5'6. difference is, manny will weigh around 148 come foght time and hatton will be more like 152.

Hatton will be an 8 round punching bag. This fight will be beautiful with great back and forth action, but Pac has shown tremendous growth, physically and mentally.

The size depends on the training. Hatton can easily bulk up but I don't think he carries the weight power with him. He natural fighter at 140.

With these two it comes down to who backs down in the fight. If Hatton connects with good shots and can back Pacquiao up. Pacquiao's in trouble. If Pacquiao lands shots to Hatton, and Hatton can't get inside, Hatton's in trouble. The fight comes down to the man with the most heart wins.

We will just have to see if Mayweather Sr. is stupid enough to try and make a flat foot like Hatton a dancer. Not that it's bad to have foot skills, it's just not the Hatton way to get it done) I do hope he does because Pacquiao will take Hatton apart and the OK is by the 10th. Else Hatton abandons the Mayweather Sr. Plan and starts mauling Pacquiao.

152 is too heavy for Hatton and he'll slow down by the 7th round. 148-150 is a better weight for him because Pacquiao will be about 146-148.

For some weird reason I had a dream last night about this fight, which is weird because I havn't even really been thinking about it.. If it was on my mind all the time then maybe..

Anyway, I was Pac and it was like rounds 4 or 5 and I was realizing that I wasn't hurting this Hattoon man in front of me much, and my body was hurting.. So I was trying to land a good one to the head again, and I got ripped with an enormous body shot on my left side right under the ribs that dropped me...

Except I wasn't southpaw and it was a big right hand hook/uppercut to the body that knocked me down, so it didn't entirely make sense...




I just think unless one of these fighters stops the other early, there is no reason this couldn't be fight of the year.. Whether it's a war or not, i'll be a huge matchup with 2 fighters who have been in the game a long time, and fighting another of the biggest fights of their lives.. Two guys that don't like to back off an inch...

I was watching Erik morales Vs. Manny Pacquiao I yesterday and noticed Morales did some vicious work to Manny's body, I think that slowed Manny down quite a bit, on every shot morales gave him stopped him in his tracks.
Hatton beign a great body puncher as was Morales I got him by KO or TKO.
(Chanting Hatton song) GOOOOOOOOOOO Ricky Hatton! GOOOOOOOO Ricky Hatton!

NO NO NO.

You got the song wrong

It's:

There's only one Ricky Hatton....One Ricky Hatton
Walking along....singing a song
Walking in a Hatton wonderland.

I think many people are taking the ODLH fight into consideration.

Oscar was SEVERELY weight drained. Heck he hasn't fought at that weight for 7 years and was 35 yrs old. Even little Stevie Forbes busted Oscar's face up a few months beforehand.

Ricky Hatton is completely different. Pac has NEVER faced pressure like Hatton will put him under. Malignaggi thought he could handle it. Hell loads on here were saying Malignaggi would beat Hatton because he's fast and slick. And look what happened. He got dominated and he crumbled.

Hatton will box smartly. Floyd Sr is going to get him great for this match. Hatton will also use his jab and go to the body. A weakness of Pac's.

Hatton's going to win...just you doubters watch!

I disagree with the 152 is to heavy for hatton! he weighed 152 against malignaggi and that is around his usual fight weight. he didnt look slow against malignaggi.

I would typically agree, but I read a quote from Hatton that 6 lbs to rehydrate is his optimum target. But that would put him at 146/147 and I'm sure Pacquiao won't go any lighter than that. That said, I don't think Hatton will risk the size disadvantage so I think he'll pack a little more. but not so much that he risks any weakening from the dehydration which affects his stamina. You got to look at Malignaggi inability to hit Hatton with anything to affect Hatton and you know that ain't going to be the case with Pacquiao. It's just too much strain on the body using extremes to make weight by going more than 10 lbs in the 140 weight class. Especially against Pacquiao.

These guys at this elevated level of competition know the risks and advantages they gain from it. If Hatton comes is 152 for sure Pacquiao is going to take him out in the late rounds.
