Maybe I'm in the minority but I think Hatton might fare better against De La Hoya than Pac. Pac looked just as strong if not stronger against Diaz and 5 more pounds may just make him that much stronger, whereas a weight-drained Oscar at 147 might just be the trick. I guarantee you Oscar went thru hell to get to 150 and those last 3 pounds for a man in his mid 30s who already had a low body fat percentage is a nightmare. Remember, the fight isn't the day after he fought Forbes but months after this point which can only fare poorly for a man getting older. Ricky didn't look awful at 147, he looked awful against the P4P best fighter in the sport- there's a world of difference just like there's a world of difference between a 154 pound Oscar and a 147 pound Oscar. I guarantee if Hatton burrowed into his body Oscar would turn into a zombie after the 6th round, but guess what Ricky's going to get with a quick punching machine that munches up the extra pounds each time he hops up a division? A face ache. Hatton doesn't have Pacquiao's speed, punch accuracy are the ability to work for a full 12 like Pac does. At least Oscar fades. That being said, the Pac fight is the better fight to be made, it's just not the one that would be in his best interest if he wants to be on his feet by night's end.
Oops
Hatton up until Tszyu was a machine a great fight however he has steadily gone down hill with career worst against Mayweather.
From rds 4-10 against Lazcano he looked good stopped hugging.
Cant see Paulie or Manny touching him if he fights to the best of his ability tbh.
Whats all this Oscar will Ko Hatton Bullshite.
Oscar, as good as he was, could not KO Forbes, and Forbes is smaller than Hatton, Osar at 36 woulde a good battle and evn at 147, I favour Hatton to win.
