Ricky Hatton would Destroy Pacquiao bad!

[Gandalf]

Ricky and Pac would be a great fight. I wish Oscar would just fuck off and promote because if he beats Pacman he wants Hatton and after that he can maybe fight Vazquez

I hate Oscar. He doesnt have any belts, he doesnt own a division and yet he parades around looking for fights with smaller guys at every opportunity. He is a fraud and a phoney and just wont go away. Oscar has little relevance beyond the amount of money he can make.

And he is ORANGE. And looks like The Joker. Really want Pac to shock the world and be rid of the menace to boxing that is ODLH.

Oscar resume is as good as ANYONES. As far as him fighting smaller guys....that is complete bs. Aside from Pac...when has he fought "smaller guys"? Forbes was a TUNE UP fight for Floyd (because Forbes was a slick, counter punching opponent to help him get ready for the failed rematch). So don't hate...you don't like him...fair enough. But obviously plenty of people still due...considering he is still the biggest draw in boxing. He never embarrasses himself in the ring AND he not only generates $$$ for himself...he generates the biggest paydays for his OPPONENTS! No one held a gun to Pac's head and said fight Oscar. Pac had plenty of great and lucrative fights at 130 and 135. But he wanted the biggest payday of his life. It takes two to tango. Same goes for Hatton and anyone else who would sign up in a sec to fight Delahoya. It's a business...and fighters know that Oscar is damn good for business. Considering Oscar has never ducked anyone in his career...and is one of the big reasons boxing is so popular...calling him a "fraud and phoney" just comes across as sour grapes.

Even Mayweather was a smaller guy. Then Forbes, the tune up for.....wait for it.....Manny Pacquiao (spelling?). And then once Pac is disposed of...where next....of course, the cash cow that is Ricky Hatton!! Lets say Oscar beats Pac and then makes a fight with Hatton. That will have been the fourth fight in a row Oscar has used careful matchmaking to maximise his earnings potential against smaller men. Hatton should in no way accept a fight outside of 140. If Oscar wants to tango with Ricky its about time he makes the sacrifices and evens the playing field somewhat. Hatton is a huge draw himself.

Oscar might have fought a lot of good names but he hasnt done a damn thing in half a decade.

If Oscar really wants a fight then he should go off and fight Cotto or Margarito. I would be very impressed if he did. But no, Oscar wants to minimise the risks and milk the public for what he can.

He is a good businessman, but a cynical and false fighter these days.

I have little time for the little orange freak.

Come on Manny!!! A completely improbable win, but one that is neccessary for boxing IMO.

I don't think he'll go for Vasquez. Maybe Donaire! He wants to take out all the Filipinos!

I also said this a while ago but Oscar may want to make history again and fight a woman! Maybe he'd fight someone around his weight if it was a woman...

Pacman vs Hitman would of been way better...but oscar is gonna damage pacquiao so bad it is not even funny.

Talk to SAddoboxer

Holy Crap Bruce! Could you imagine that conversation?! The both of them would just sit in front of their computer screen thinking "Is this guy f*ckin serious?!"

[Master]

Ricky will have to move to welterweight to fight Oscar. No one is bigger than ODH, whatever weight he dictates they fight at, Mayweather at 154 and Pac at 147. Ricky will get slaughtered by ODH.

I would have preferred to see Pac v Hatton as well... That was talked about originally a lot more than ODLH and everyone said it would be a good idea.. They are both about the same size and the styles would have been great. Both can fight 12 rounds.. I could never say that Hatton would destory Pac... But while 99% of us was saying that Pac v Hatton would be a good fight, still there were a few that said Pac would get hurt against Hatton... NO ONE wanted Pac v ODLH. Everyone said it was totally stupid.. And while the fight is on now and i'm allowing myself to get into it a little, and have even probably more stupidly than the fight itself, have called Pac hurting DLH, I still think it is one of the stupidest matchups of the last 5 years... If Pac competes well and makes it a brilliant fight, then well, the powers that be knew better than me and most other boxing fans here..
But as it stands, until and possibly after December 6, Pac v DLH is totally stupid and I would have been a billion times more excited over Pac v Hatton... And I don't think Hatton would Destory Pac... Hatton would have a few eggs around his eyes as well and Prolly a fair share of cuts as well....

Man, a lot of you guys are going to be in for quite a shock when Pac wins this thing. Did you guys miss the Forbes fight or something? He hit ODLH all night long, even broke a bone in his face, and he is NO WHERE NEAR as fast or strong Pacman. He's also not much bigger that Manny and stood in well to Oscar's punches. How, after seeing what Forbes was able to do, can anyone believe a far superior fighter like Pacquiao is going to be slaughtered?

Il have any bet you want Pac gets smashed, did we see Steve Forbes? The Steve Forbes who has fought light Middleweights, the Steve Forbes who has been 12 rounds in many fights with guys over 140+, yes ive seen him, now Manny p4p alot better but a guy who has never fought anywhere near 147, he has only had one fight at Lightweight, DelaHoya will spark him out within 6 rounds.

Don't misunderstand me...it would not surprise me if Manny got knocked out at some point, but it WILL be a highly competitive fight for as long as it goes. Pacquaio may be smaller, but he is WAY faster than Oscar and has superior hand speed and power to Forbes. In fact, if it goes the distance, it is a fact that Pacman wins. ODLH won't be able to keep up with the pace. He has to knock him out.

[CFH]

First of all, Pac is going to beat Oscar.

Secondly, I think Hatton-Pac is about a 50/50, maybe 60/40 fight (for Hatton). Hatton cuts and swells easily, and even if Pac isn't a murderous puncher at 140, he's still a high volume, accurate puncher with some power. He moves well, and he's far too intelligent to get involved in a wrestling match with Hatton. Also, they're close to the same height, so it's not like Pac is going to have to take a murderous amount of punishment just to get inside Hatton's range. As Skel mentioned, Hatton has a history of poor performances against southpaws, and he's never fought one as skilled as Pac.

Like Molitor beat Caballero, right?

I think this is pretty close...
