Is Hatton Pac's most powerful opponent yet?

[fan johnny]

Pacman will KO Hatton! Hatton doesnt hit you with crisp shots that land flush. When he wins its simply because he's in better shape and he wrestles peoples energy away. That crap won't work against Pacquiao's superior movement. Pac is way to quick and slippery for Hatton to try to come inside and bully. Pacquiao's left hand is gonna make Hatton look like a mess. Im just not that impressed with Hatton. He cant put together combinations, he has no jab, and he's predictable. Trust me Freddie Roach will have a master plan to annialate Ricky Hatton. Maybe this will finally shut Floyd Mayweather Sr. up about how he thinks he's the best trainer out there. Roach 5 to 1 better than Mayweather, Pacquiao 5 to 1 better than Hatton!

I heartily disagree with pretty much everything you say. Hatton is clearly Pac's most powerful opponent yet, and one of the quickest on his feet too. Manny will have more than a fit or two.

Pacquiao has faced many faster fighters than Hatton in lower weight classes, just none that are as powerful. Hatton has to mug Pacquiao Ruberto Duran style if wants a "W".

I think in the power department, they are pretty muched matched, unless Hatton comes in much heavier, which is what he should do. If Hatton comes in lighter, around (140) like some of you think he will, there is no way he's going to out box Pacquiao. Mayweather Sr. is just dreaming if he thinks Hatton can dance his way to a win over Pacquiao. If that happens Just mark another "L" on Hatton's resume.

Hatton was holding all night. Malinaggi wasn't doing all the clinching.

I think Paulie spoiled and held way more. Hatton had an easy day outboxing him and (obviously) landing the bigger shots.

Are you kidding me ? Paul Malignaggi was ducking and grabbing all night long, he for certain done a majority of the spoiling/holding. Paul Malignaggi actually fought like a coward after he was rocked in the 2nd round.

Ricky Hatton to me looked fired up and was ready to go to war, and he looked like he just wanted to fight and not clinch at all. Pity Paul Malignaggi held like a wrestler and ducked almost below the waist line every 20 seconds.

Size wise... NO. Oscar dela Hoya was.

After the facts came about… and the feeble showing of Oscar.... YES!

This is by no means a clear advantage in his favor though, I still see Pacquiao out speed, out skill, and outmaneuver Hattfon for a win past round 9.
