POLL: Will Pacquiao Beat Hatton That Fought Today?

[littlebif]

Hatton would be to strong and get on the inside early and stop him with a body shot.

[:::PSL:::]

I will cast my vote after Pacquiao-Diaz fight. I wanna see Pac test the water first in the lightweight division before I start comparing him north of that weight class.

Pacquiao sparred with Lazcano a lot back in his jr featherweight days. But everything will be different under the lights like they say.

At 140 id give pac absoloutley no chance whatsoever of even lasting the distance with hatton.

Too big and strong for manny who would inevitably attempt to go toe to toe and find the power at 140 way too much to handle.

Hatton by late stoppage!

Pac may not even be sucessful at lightweight nevermind light Welter. Time will tell how he does at higher weights but as of now theer is no reason Id favor Pac over a much bigger and stronger Hatton.

Let's see how Pacquiao handles a strong, physical opponent like Diaz first. Diaz isn't nearly as good a fighter as Hatton, but they are somewhat similar in that they're both strong, sturdy, physical fighters.

Pac dominated a natural welterweight guy. Diaz is no Hatton, but after Pac's boxing skill, speed and power he displayed last night,... I'm difinitely giving my boy a chance to win against the Hitman.

I think after yesterdays performance the odds of a Pacquiao win have definitely tightened. Diaz may not have been the best but he's a world champ in his prime and I can't remember Hatton looking as impressive against any such opponent in his division. Look at Hatton's laclustre wins over Collazo, Urango, Lazcano, Maussa etc. I can't remember Hatton ever smoking someone like that, the shell of the fighter formly known as Jose Luis Castillo not withstanding.
