Do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on Hatton?

[Gandalf]

Its a possibility, but I hope not.

My main worry is the cuts and swelling on Hattons part. I can really see Pac's rapid fire blows scratching up his face and early.

Im hoping that Hatton can get to Pac before the damage accumulates. Hatton has got to be in Pac's face and roughing him up like never before.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Mles touched on somethig important.
Speede causes swelling and should Hatton be cut, he will not be shown the same courtesy he receives from the English referees.

Hatton has to be relentless.
If Hatton executes a Tszyu like effort, ut with more defense and clean punches I think he can hurt Manny

I really like Ricky Hatton,im a big fan of him and im hoping he'll do great against Pacman,but to be honest i think Hatton will sustain heavy cuts around his face especially his eyes!!Thats how i see it and i have a gut feeling that hatton will reform into his old self when the rounds go on and get clocked as he leaves his newly adopted guard behind.He'll start off as he did against Paulie and he'll be finding it too hard to catch Pacman,with Pacman being twice as quick as the Magic Man,and as the rounds go futher he'll just reform into his old style again and go toe to toe with Pacman and end up getting heavy cuts to his face!

Thats how i see it.I hope im wrong though,but im being realistic in my view anyhow.

I'm also afraid that Hatton's face will become a bloody mess... PAC's speeding punches easily creates cuts (cuts like a knife) plus Hatton's face is susceptible to cuts... Could be the worst beating on Hatton ever... Worst than what PBF did to Hatton by slamming him to the ring post and knocking Hatton down and out...

This is what Carlos Maussa did to Hatton's face... Imagine what PAC can do to that face...





This is what Juan Lazcano did to Hatton's face... Imagine what PAC can do to that face...

Are those real? Looks photoshopped to me. Anyways, I really don't know coz if the Hitman catches Pac early in the fight he might be able to control the tempo and could even stop Manny. But if the Pacman manages to hit his stride and stay away from getting tagged cleanly then I think Hatton could really get busted up and might even get stopped late.

Maussa butted Hatton to cause those cuts and Hatton always looks bruised the night after a fight, specially when he fights as shit as he did againsed Lazcano

Hatton is a tough kid and dont see Manny beating him down in easy fashion. Both guys have been in some wars and have alot of mileage. Manny is more physically gifted and hatton is naturally bigger. Should be interesting....will be a brawl from start to whenever it ends....I think the Mad Hatter might pull it out....

I think its a case of who can take charge early if Ricky can get close and not let Pacquiao get into his rythem by backing him up getting to his body.Ricky MUST use head movment and lots of feints when moving in avoiding Pacs left hooks.Rough him up when stepping back of Manny use a jab to of step the Pac man cause Hatton can be caught when he steps back from a clinch.

If Manny uses his speed letting his hands go then getting out of range and using lots of ring movement and avoids getting trapped on the ropes by Hatton,he could stop hatton with the volume of punches he will land.


50/50 fight but i feel it could be a close war or a very 1 sided fights depends who is on there game on the night.

I'am still going for a Hatton win might be a bit biased and i want him to win.

On May 2, 2009, do you think PAC will inflict the worst beating ever on prime 30 year old Ricky Hatton?

Vote in the poll and discuss...
.

Marquez also put on a boxing clinic on Pac for a good amount of those rounds in their first fight. Pac had a sweet round but Marquez dominated most of that fight.

Pac did knockout Morales but Erik also controlled and outclassed Pac their first fight.

Besides those two instances, you can't deny the rest of your statements...

You can discount the Maussa fight.
I was ringside and saw Ricky nutted twice and eating elbows all night.

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Pacman may inflict alot of damage on Hatton
but that doesnt mean that he will win.
Also as far as i know Pacman isnt exactly a defence specialist

[JT Rock]

Pac's face gets pretty screwed up after fights too..

Inflicted the worst beating to JMM yea all the way to a draw

[Pugilistic]

If Pac lands his fast combos often like i expect him too, Hatton's face will be a mess.

[ironmike2004]

i think PAC will win but it will be a close one. should be exciting...
