Manny will tear Hatton to shreads

[KKisser]

CHF,

Banal didn't give up. He gave his best, but Concepcion was the better man that night.

Mark my word AJ Banal will be a world champion in 2009.

He quit IMO.

He went down to a knee and shook his head as the ref counted to 10. He then got up immediately afterwards. Whether it was due to exhaustion or whatever, he quit. I'm sure he'll be able to come back, but he basically said 'No Mas'. He's still got a bright future though, no doubt about that.

ummm...yeahhh, basically he quit... for good reasons. pretty much the same as cotto. both will be back to fight another day.

After seeing what Pac-man did to the Golden Transvestite, I have no doubt that he would stop Hatton.

How many of those straight lefts could Ricky take?

Ricky would have a lot more offense than Oscar did and would be the bigger and stronger of the two on the night most probably. I'd love this fight to be made, it would be unreal at Wembley too. Would be a good last fight for Hatton.

[OumaFan]

I would go with Pacquio, its an interesting fight though.

I think people are getting a bit carried away...

I take my hat off to pac, i never liked the cunt. BUt after seeing how he handled him self and took apart oscar and how gracious he was i became a fan of his. But to say he could step in and destroy hatton is a fucking joke. I have given hatton a lot of shit, but i think he could give manny a hell of a night, and manny him.

Hatton still has some things to work on, but as long as he keeps him self in decent shape i see no reason for him beating Pac. Pac will be the smaller man, Hatton has good speed and damn good power too. He took a hell of a beating from Tszyu and never stopped. if he can come into the ring like that i favour him to beat back, maybe stop him. Pac had an easy night agasint oscar, de la hoya looked fucking clueless.

Ummmahhh you used the C word.

Haha, Andre, make sure you don't tell them what you just said to me on the rep - you'll start a riot. At least make sure you wear a helmet if you do.

This is a very good fight, Hatton still has good reflexes from what his last fight showed and will be very dangerous first 6 rounds.

Pac would have to play the part of the lion tamer again and then become the lion late. Hatton will not be able to maintain Manny's tempo so he will have to do good work early himself.

If it goes into the later rounds, Hatton will start getting bloodied and pummeled, so he would have to come out very strong and determined early and catch Manny.

Manny seems to be in his prime right now and looked incredible last night. Ricky's best days I believe are behind him so I have to favor Manny by late stoppage somewhere. Before that though Ricky will very much be in the fight and has the ability to rough Pac up if he can somehow catch up to him early. Ricky also has great footwork so he can make it interesting

Pacquiao never faced someone like Hatton. Someone who grapples a lot. Pac had a hard time with the rugged Agapito Dirty Sanchez, but that was 1-dimesional Pac.

But anyways, Pacman fights excellent especially when he is the underdog. So I hope most boxing writters would pick Hatton to win.

oscar's weight DID have something to do with pac's overwhelming performance, not to mention it wasn't a prime de la hoya he was with up there. they can play that up and still have pac as the underdog going to hatton's territory.

No No NO...Make NO Excuses...I don't care if Oscar walked into the ring set in traction...This is a man who had an SD with PBF just a year ago...This is the man who sought Pacquiao out,,,This is a man who predicted a KO on his own behalf...a nab with a pretty sizable advantage.....

If by some chance weight played a part then that is on him...he should not have been so desperate for a big name win he went looking for the smallest guy he could find with the biggest name.....

He asked for it he got it.......

He was weighed..Measured...and Dealt with!!

Oscar last night was a pale shadow of the guy who fought Mayeather. He hardly landed a punch. His legs couldn't get him around fast enough anymore. I could have beaten Oscar last night, you can't judge anything about Manny from that fight.

It's funny how this fight was a complete mismatch in favour of Hatton until about 5 hours ago, now Hatton gets destroyed.

The integrity of boxing fans eh

Agree 100%.


Ricky is a banger and a joy to watch. But Ricky takes waaaay too many shots from guys nowhere near Pacquiao's level.

You won't find a bigger Hitman fan than me, but I do not want to see this fight any more than I wanted to see ODLH/Pac. Why? Cuz one of my boys is gonna get sparked.


This fight will NOT be competetive. Hatton looks decent for 2 rounds tops and gets completely decimated, most likely stopped, between 8 and 10 rounds.


There's only one Ricky Hatton! And I love him, but this would be the end for him.

[Small Amount of Peas]

You know what? I take that back.

This fight is over before the bell for 8 tolls.

[Julius Rain]

pac retires hatton too.

hatton will eat not only the straight left but the manila ice. hatton is vulnerable to hooks and pac is one of the best hooker in the game right now. jab,hook,jab uppercut, straight left, right cross, left uppercut... down goes hatton..its over. wembley goes silent....hatton is david diaz'd falls flat on his face.

[pitbullero]

Pacquiao will tear anyone hahahaha

I'm sick of people saying that.. Oscar was rubbish correct... But we can tell plenty about Manny from that fight.. He is as sharp at 145 as he is at 130.. As fast, powerful, sharp.... He's been totally f'd up in fights at lower weights, and still finished like a champ to get a decision..

He proved he is still the same man at 145 as he is at 130... Doesn't matter who he is in with to be able to see that... It's not like he's a C grade fighter.. He's P4P #1... All that was left to see was whether he was the same at higher weight as lower.. he is...
I don't think he can be counted at 147, but at 140 or 143 for a catch weight, why can't we say what he's capable of after his fight with Oscar.. He proved he is nothing less that the P4P number 1... And now he's 143 pounds....

I never genuinely believed there was even a slight chance that Manny Pacquiao could fight Ricky Hatton!
A couple of months ago it seemed ridiculous. But Manny just beat the shit out of Oscar Dela Hoya so i obviously need to change my perception of fighters who come up in weight.

Ive never comprehended the outcome of a Hatton/ Pacquiao fight. Never really compared them stylistically. But this fight is definitely gonna happen so im just overly excited!!

I almost feel like im at a disadvantage here, like ''hang on, let me get me Pacquiao Disc Set out, i got some serious revision to do''!!

Can i just make a point of saying that although it would be a great fight i would LOOOOOOOOVE to see Pac fight Floyd now.

That to me, this is the fight that makes all the sense in the world now. The fight of ALL fights!!! A REAL event.
Seeing Pac deal with Oscar like that. Youv'e gotta ask yourself... What must Floyd be thinking?
