If Hatton fought Pac Man

[boozeboxer]

To be honest i think if it happenend its a lose lose fight for hatton...

if he wins so what he beat a small guy.

if he loses he will get slated for losing to a small guy.

however i think it would be a massive event and a big money spinner for both but i think its a WIN WIN for Pac

I don't see it as lose lose for Hatton at all Saddo. Only the hardcore boxing fans will care about weight differential, to everybody else Hatton will be facing the worlds number 1 p4p fighter and a champion in 5 weight divisions. hw

They are both the same height, Pacquiao has a slightly longer reach and both have been entering the ring at 140 - 145 lbs in recent fights.

It's no more lose lose for Hatton the Mayweather was for De La Hoya.

If Hatton fought and beat Pacquiao then history would see that as by far his biggest win.

I really want to see this fight, and now I think it's the ONLY fight choice for both men if they want to have a real boxing mega event. The fight would be huge in the UK and the Phillipines and would even attract a big draw in America.

Great matchup imo.

I for once agree with Bilbo about the public not caring about weight divisions. It is just like the poster we had awhile back saying, "Its just 7 pounds, etc". Ignorant people don't realize that is a huge deal. Hell people I talk to usually asks me how many weight divisions there are, or how big is Floyd, etc. Someone asked me if Floyd was a cruiserweight one time. Now that would be a funny specatacle.

I just posted the following on another thread, and I'm too lazy to retype it:

Let's say for the sake of argument that Pacquiao goes to 140 and fights Hatton next. And let's say for the sake of argument, that Hatton, naturally the bigger man at 140, beats Pacquiao, who may not carry his power too well into 140.

Are Hatton fans going to claim that all of a sudden Hatton should vault back into p4p consideration? That would be grossly unfair to the other fighters who have scratched and clawed their way onto that list.

IMO, of course.

If Pac fought Hatton he would get destroyed . If he fought Cotto hed get destroyed . If he fought a washed up De La Hoya hed get destroyed .

If he fights losers like Diaz with a busted rib then he can win

Simple as .

I think a win over Paulie ans Pacquaio puts Hatton back in the top 7 maybe top 5.

I rest my case...


No offense, bro. But I'm glad YOU'RE not in charge of the rankings.

I'd like to see Pac in with Casa or Nate first (he absolutley flattens Khan after last night IMO).

Hatton-Pac would be a HUGE event, and very entertaining while it lasted, I'm all for it. I'm in agreement with the chief (saddo) when it comes down to what it actually means lagacy wise for Hatton. REgardless of outcome Pac will always be the superior fighter p4p, all this fight will prove if he can carry the weight or not.

Awsome performance last night, HOWEVER it's still very speculative wether he'll be able to carry it up further, He had to hit DD flsuh loads of times to get him hurt and it's possible 140 may be a step to far.

If Pacquiao can handle 140 well he shouldn't have a problem beating Hatton

[brucelee]

honestly, am afraid for my boy going to 140 and fight Hatton but if it happens, I will still be rooting for the Pacman.

If Pacquaio wants it very badly for his retirement (coz he really wants to join the dirty politics in the Philippines), then I should say, GO AHEAD PACMAN. You have done well already for boxing.

Fight HAtton and win or loss, you RETIRE.


Hope you don't win any position in politics!!!!

I don't think you should worry too much.

Hatton is the type of fighter Pacquiao looks grand against and I don't know if he can be more active or as accurate as Pacquiao can, and we've seen how Hatton fairs against southpaws.
