If Manny Pacquiao Pulled Off A Win Vs Hatton.........

[ono]

I've really talked myself into a total 180 over the last day or so in terms of my feelings on this fight.. First of all, IF Pac were to win, it would be a very impressive feat no doubt... BUT, the guy as far as I know, didn't have an amatuer career, and started out in the pro's. This is really misleading when people want to talk about him having fought at flyweight and thus can't possibly move up as far as 140.. For those who didn't know, Mayweather fought at 106 pounds as well, when he was an amtuer... But I'm fairly sure he was the same age as Pac was when he fought there... Thus, it is really no more impressive than Mayweather having already beaten Hatton, side for the fact that Mayweather had much more time to settle in to the weight classs.. But still, in terms of a historical sense, should Pac beat Hatton... Mayweather has already done almost exactly the same thing... The only difference is that Mayweather established himself at the weight before beating Hatton..

that is as good a post as i have ever seen on this forum.

brilliant.

if hatton and pac fight. I would have Hatton arrested for murder cause he would kill Manny. Dude is waaay too big for him. Hatton's walking weight is around 230

...230 where did you get this from?.......180lbs is about right not 230

And it's only his walking weight because of how much he eats and drinks. Carlos Baldomir also walks around at about 180lbs but that is much more natural to him as his body frame accomodates that weight.

Hatton aint even a natural 180lbs. With a sensible lifestyle, Hatton would be no more than 160lbs imo....maybe even less.

If it was meant to be ironic.

The difference between Mayweather and Pac beating Hatton would be monumental.

Mayweather defeated Hatton after going unbeaten in 3 fights at 140, 3 fights at 147 AND a fight at 154. Mayweather started BIG favourite.

Pac has yet to venture past 130 (TWO weight classes below) and has been beaten 4 times at lower weights.
Pac would be a MASSIVE underdog.

Don't panic pal, that won't happen, so your boy can keep his p4p lollipop all by himself...

Just read an article with crazy Floyd Sr and he offers his erudite analysis of this potential contest:

"Is he crazy? Hatton will beat the f**king socks off of Pacquiao. Manny Pacquiao, that guy can't box. All that guy can do is punch. Pacquiao has been with Freddie Roach for all these years and he still can't box. They put him on the pound-for-pound, he should be on the clown-for-pound list."

Haha, what a nut.

[donnydarkoIRL]

The nut talks a lot of sense.

If Pac beat hatton.....Hatton would look like a bit of a fool really wouldn't he...He would never live it down.

[El Gamo]

If Manny beat Hatton,Hatton's legacy would be SEVERLY dented. On the other hand,Manny would have this amazing victory,but where would he go from there>? Retirement?

It would be a major embarrassment but it wont happen anyway until Hatton is either old or washed up

[Hulk]

The nut talks a lot of sense.

Aside from the crap about how Manny can't box, yeah he is right. Hatton would crush him, he's A LOT bigger.

[Julius Rain]

Theres no point in fighting hatton but for a big draw. After what floyd did to hatton I doubt hatton fans will travel back here in america to see him in another big fight even though his fighting a smaller guy.

As for hattons legacy, it pretty much got tainted by floyds left hook.

I disagree, you don't compare amature career to pro career. for one simple reason....theres an age limit to turn pro, fighters can start their amatures at very young age. so to compare the weight class of an amature to a pro's is rediculous and NO floyd was not the same age as pac was when pac was 106. Floyd must of been 12 years old in his amatures in a kids leage while pac was fighting PRO 106 FIGHTERS. Hope you see the difference. wait in case you don't get it let me repeat...pac was fighting P...R....O....ADULT MEN.... AT 106, and if ever floyd fought at 106.....floyd was fighting....A.M.A.T.U.R.E....LITTLE KIDS.....BIG DIFFERENCE.


IMO

Julie,I didn't actually know there was an age limit on when fighters can turn pro. Are you sure?I thought fighters could turn pro when they liked.

No respect whatsoever with a guy who is has given a lot to boxing and still is. Pac brought excitement and energy into boxing out of nowhere and backed it up with wins over great fighters. To call him a clown is childish and unprofessional.
